Publishing principles
Selection is editorial. Rights stay clear.
The author retains it.
Orange Poetry receives only the publishing, retail and promotional rights agreed in a product-specific contract.
Agreed before release.
Price, revenue share, payment schedule, licence period and withdrawal terms are documented before publication.
Acceptance is not automatic.
Fit, craft, readiness, production capacity and rights status determine whether a work moves forward.
Permission comes first.
Print, translation, audio, film, adaptation and other reuse require specific written agreement.
Rolling first intake
Begin with the manuscript, not the pitch deck.
Send the essential information first. If the project may fit Orange Editions, the team will reply with the next review step and a secure file route where needed.
