Attic Ebooks

Attic Ebooks is a digital-first imprint and is open to works of all lengths, whether those are short stories, novellas, or full-length novels or nonfiction books.

The possibility for print books exist for longer works and will be decided on a case-by-case basis.

Acquiring in the Areas Of

At this time, we are looking for only

  • adult and young adult fiction in the areas of contemporary romance, mystery/thriller, cozy mystery, light sci-fi/fantasy/speculative, paranormal romance, and contemporary fiction

    • while middle grade fiction isn’t a huge seller for digital, we are open to considering it

  • adult nonfiction memoir, essay, business, parenting, and practical/how-to

Expectations of the Press

We are looking to add members to the Attic Ebooks team who will actively promote their work but also themselves as creatives. The ideal Attic Ebooks author will be open to collaborating with other Attic Ebooks authors/contributors on promotion and events (if applicable). The motto of Nicole Frail Books and its imprints is Community Over Competition, and that will always be in play.
