What we are looking for RIGHT NOW

Do Life Right, Inc. is actively searching for the next great children’s or YA manuscript about realistic homeschoolers!

Do you have a Hanna West/Nancy Drew/older Madeline/Harriet the Spy type of book about a homeschooler (or group of homeschoolers)? Send it to us! This is the ideal story that we are currently looking for. The characters can be boys or girls.

We’d love to have a mystery with a twist (science fiction, romance, etc.) book to sink our teeth into. We are not looking for child memoirs (written in first or third person), unless your life is crazy interesting and you’ve written a fantastic story about it that entertains us all! Remember that your story must past muster with actual homeschoolers! :)

Our submission guidelines calls for “realistic homeschoolers”.  What this means is that you’ve actually looked into how homeschoolers today live. Your writing isn’t dependent on stereotypes, misinformation, or outdated data. You’ve met more than a dozen homeschoolers in real life and you know how amazing they are and how unique each of them is. You’ve witnessed first hand what amazing things homeschoolers have done without having gone to school and without needing to go to school five days a week.

How fast are we once a manuscript is accepted? Depending on the level of editing needed and illustration needs, turn around can be as fast as 6 months. If you are accepted today, your work could be a book you are holding in your hands before the end of the year!

What else do we do? Along with publishing your work, we’ll help with marketing, send a treatment to television and movie producers (depending on the manuscript), and much more.  We want you to succeed! We are investing in you to succeed so that we can succeed. We are a small and independent publishing company who works professionally with its authors. We require no money from our authors and our royalty rates are higher than traditional publishing houses. Contact us today to find out more.

Independent Publishing for a New Generation

The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person doing it. –Chinese Proverb

Do Life Right, Inc. has expanded into independent publishing.

Traditional publishers today believe they know the entire market. We believe that no one knows your market quite like you do. Our mission is to empower our authors to brand themselves, market themselves, and to help us publish a high quality book or series of books by them for our specialty market of homeschoolers of today.

Does this mean you have to be alone and do everything yourself? No!  You don’t have to reinvent the wheel if you become friends with the wheel maker.  We are here to help be your wheel maker.

Our philosophy: Empowering modern day writers to set their own goals and aspirations while giving them the tools to see them through.

If you are a struggling author, take heed. You are not alone.  Spend some time on this site learning about modern day publishing options.  Independent publishing might not be for you, but traditional publishing also might not be. To learn about the different types of publishing options available today, see Rich Author, Poor Writer.
