Authors wanted!

Looking for a Publisher?

You're welcome to send your work to us for consideration. However, keep in mind that we are looking for literary works that can appeal to the international market. Work with a distinct local flavor; with lingo, settings, storylines, satires, or references that will only tickle or make sense to the local market are not what we are interested in. Think the next Da Vinci Code, or Harry Potter, or even J.R. Tolkien. Yes, we are very ambitious and focused on our dream of producing a world famous bestseller from Singapore!

Already an Established Author?

Are your books hardly moving in the stores? Have they gone out of circulation and the copyright returned to you? You wrote an award winning work that nobody wants to publish despite the recognition?

We are interested! Renaissance will not only published talented and aspiring new authors, we intend to take our publications international through actively promoting the sale of rights to international publishers.

Show us what you have, be it a script, novel or poetry collection. If it is good, we'll bend over our backs to find a way to sell the rights and get you a deal on the international market. Be bold, think big. Your book could be the next New York Times bestseller or hit movie adaptation! If Singaporeans can climb Everest, produce world class classical and pop musicians, win an Olympic Silver medal, bred world famous award winning chefs and fashion designers, why shouldn't we have world famous authors?

We are not dreaming... we dare to dream!

John Grisham was rejected by many publishers before Wynwood Press finally bought his first novel, printing a miserable 5000 copies for his book's first print run. In his subsequent writing career he became one of only two authors to sell two million copies on a first printing. More than 60 million copies of his books have been sold. Paulo Coelho's Alchemist sold 800 copies before his publisher decided to return the rights to him and discontinue circulation. He didn't give up and looked for a bigger publishing house with more marketing power. Christopher Paolini, who was entirely home schooled, wrote "Eragon" at the age of 16 and never intended to publish it. His parents invested their savings to self-publish it and arranged for 135 talks at bookshops, libraries and schools before his novel was discovered and bought for a 6-figure sum by a major publisher.

Do you believe in your own work enough to try?
