****No Surprises or Hidden Fees.

Professional Editing is strongly recommended for manuscripts before submission. However, manuscripts that do not meet this requirement but show potential and fit the mission and vision of SOMO Publishing House, will be considered if writers are willing to work with one of our vetted preferred partner network editors. Though this service is not included in the package, it is a necessary part of our publishing model. We won’t publish what doesn’t meet industry standards for quality.
