First and foremost, Wordeee is about community.  

Wordeee is an online platform that uses words as the basis of delivering creative works over multiple media. Whether you sing it, say it, write it or express it through a visual medium, Wordeee is about the creative community expressing themselves through words. From a full-service publishing platform that includes robust promotional, marketing and social tools to film, music, theater and television, we enable emerging and well-established artists to unlock their creativity and expand their work.  Wordeee's aim is to connect artists directly to their audience, help.them diversify their revenue streams and to help them find their unique voice.  Fully developed, Wordeee will become a robust cross-platformed media company for artists.

Version 1 release of Wordeee is focused on books as words.  So who are we looking for in this space?

Wordeee is committed to authors who are committed to themselves.  We believe that authors must be involved in their own success and that by using organic and consistent effort their goals will be attainable. Listed below are the qualities that make you the ideal Wordeee author.

• Confident, progressive, forward-thinking, no-excuses-artists determined to find your unique voice and audience.
• You’re tired of receiving rejection letters from those whose subjectivity can determine your future as an author. 
• You don’t have 5 million social media followers, but know you can change that if you could connect with your tribe.
• You are not a celebrity.
• You care about what you write, not what your editor says will sell.
• You can really write!
• You trust your readers' reviews more than the New York Times.

You’ve vowed to live your dream, by any means necessary, to be a writer, a really good writer!

Any established or emerging author can use the platform. Since Wordeee is not a print on demand (POD) site, your manuscript has to be accepted by Wordeee for publication. We do not publish unedited words in any way or format. Other than that, the process is simple.

• Authors with completed manuscripts ready for publication: Create a Wordeee account and start uploading your manuscript now. It’s so simple you’ll kiss us! That's because on the Wordeee platform we have used the KISS principle in all our development. Keep it simple stupid. As your favorite editor says: less is more.
• Authors with great ideas but who need to collaborate with a writer to get the work in print.
• Authors who need a co-writer for their work.

Interested in working with ghostwriters and co-writers? Contact us here and an editor will get back to you.

We are not elitist but we are adamant that the work we publish must be of good quality. We are looking for emerging and established authors whose life is defined by their art and who want to keep the integrity of their work pure. Wordeee Publishing is curated. We don’t take writing and reading lightly. We believe they are the bedrock of society.

Wordeee believes the word is the word and though it may begin on the page it can be transformed into any form of entertainment, be it a television show, a movie, a song or a play.

In its full capability, Wordeee will encompass all iterations of words from a library of movies based on books to producing original content, like movies or TV properties, from the books we publish. This is when the bi-directional offerings of Wordeee kick in. As members of the Wordeee community, Wordeeeans, as we think of you, will be able to contribute and influence content.

Let me say that again: Wordeee is a community and as a community, we look after our own. It’s like a company that values its employees and promotes from within. We will stake our...well steak would be nice too…on the fact that in our community is every imaginable artist. When we make a call for scriptwriters, television producers, talent of any sort, we will first go to our Wordeee community to recruit. So with a Wordeee membership, you will have the opportunity of being paid to provide content for Wordeee. We are completely democratic. Here again is another way, bar none, that we differ from the competition - what competition?

Absolutely. But the work you submit to Wordeee must be free and unencumbered, that is, it must not be signed to any other publisher or under contract with an agent, unless you terminate such a contract. As of this release we do not work with agents but that, we are sure, will happen in the future. We are about empowering all authors and readers so previously published or never published, you are in the right place. We connect both previously published and emerging authors to their readers and vice versa. We don’t do anything else. We’re just about the art of words.

Simple: Bad books are bad for the world. Reading and writing are the building blocks of life. They must be protected at all cost. Wordeee is a curated publishing platform with the highest standards.

• An Author uploads their manuscript on the platform.
• The manuscript is reviewed by Wordeee Editors and is either accepted or not.  
• If accepted, the works go through the process machine – to determine needs: editing, fact-checking, line editing, proofreading, layout, and design. Your manuscript administrator sends you pricing information. You accept or reject. And the production of your book begins.
•  If we do not accept your manuscript, an editorial letter will be sent to you and you may choose to work with the Wordeee team to get your manuscript up to specs….or you can choose to complete this work yourself or with your own editor. You may submit the manuscript again but you will need to pay a new editorial fee and there is no guarantee that the work will be edited to our publication standards.  
• Upon acceptance and signing with Wordeee, the author is given permission to enter our super powerful dashboard where they can begin engaging their audience and create custom content such as videos, live streaming, communication. The author can track the progress of their books, look at current stats on book sales, royalty payments, audience participation, and an array of other important detailed information.
• We have a revolving publishing process but a book will take 4-6 months before completion so pub dates will also roll accordingly.
• Trending authors and audiences who bubble up to the top of the Wordeee universe will have the opportunity to have their work translated into other entertainment properties on Wordeee TV or be eligible to participate in a Wordeee Original-Content Movie.

We are an online publisher not a print on demand portal. We know publishing from the inside. We know authors. We are authors. We know words. We write them. Our sole emphasis is on giving the power back to authors to create their best work and to earn a living doing, what for many, is their passion. Our entire platform is our competitive advantage.

The adage says, do what you love! We love authors and artists and people who appreciate them.

The founders of Wordeee themselves are authors, readers, bookstore owners, television personalities, filmmakers, traditional publishing professionals, and technologists - yes, they are artists too! We have a panoramic view of the world of words from its beginning to its end and through its transformation. Wordeee is about redefining the future of book publishing on the notion that the ever-enlarging digital playground and global economy offers new, exciting opportunities for authors and readers. 

A new economy requires new solutions that extract the value of the crowd economy, creates intimate, targeted and personalized services to the right audience. Wordeee is such a big idea around the transformation and integration of words. Wordeee is headed by a group of passionate, no-turning-back business and technology entrepreneurs who know that ideas are the easy part of a project. However, we not only stand behind our big idea, we are ready and committed to the successful implementation of our game-changing book ecosystem.

The world of big publishing has lost its relevance and vitality. There is a lot of noise and confusion in the industry and the voices that matter most are being crowded out. Independently published books are growing and so is the proliferation of really bad books. A growing non-traditional publishing market is a statement that change is needed and that authors need new options, especially in the ever-evolving digital and social media age.

In a future that is all about user-generated storytelling and content, Wordeee's open-ended system harnesses the power of the latest technologies to level the playing field for authors and artists and to promote them beyond the usual borders. Wordeee is all about you and the authors you love!

Imagine, just imagine, one place where the world of books come together for true connections, cultural exchange, communication, and most of all to have fun with words once again. 

Wordeee’s goals are to revitalize, socialize and revolutionize the world of books, over multi-platforms.

Another goal is to ensure that one of the most important life skills, literacy, continues to excite consumers.

Wordeee means electronic entertainment and engagement with words. The "eee" in Wordeee is the backronym for electronic entertainment and engagement. Remember, in the beginning there was the word.  We do not discriminate on word formats; we treat the world of words in all its forms of entertainment. The world to us is in the word.

Anyone can be a Wordeee Ambassador.   When someone signs up on the platform, in their welcoming e-mail they get a unique code which is forever linked to them login  They are encouraged to share this code with like-minded people looking to become authors. If someone they share the code with signs up and use Wordeee as their platform, a referral fee of $100 is credited to the referee.  If over ten people sign up under one code a bonus of $100,.00 is paid to referee for every 10 people who sign up.  

You own the copyright to all your works. Wordeee will publish your book, assign an ISBN to any and all formats that you want - trade, hardcover, audio or e-book.

Wordeee’s professional team will design and make the final decision on your book, however, you will have input and be presented with appropriate options during the design phase.

You own your copyright.  Depending on the contract negotiated, you may have given Wordeee your movie or foreign rights options. Wordeee is an integrated platform dealing with the transformation of words so you should expect to have conversations with us around these topics.   

If you know your worth and care enough about your God-given talent, this conversation is a non-starter. The world has changed. The opportunity to experience your greatness, to leave your legacy, your way, is up to you.  You are the catalyst of your own life.  Always bet on yourself.  

With so many barriers to entry in the old system, authors are being crowded out in preference for 'famous or popular authors. Wordeee's confident, fearless authors are betting on themselves; they are not afraid to invest in their own success.

The world of direct-publishing is far outstripping the world of old publishing but unfortunately, some very bad books are being published in both arenas. Wordeee is the new way of publishing. It is a hybrid between the old and the new. We do not pay advances and we ask you to bet on yourself. Advances are essentially loans you pay back before you see a cent in royalty. Ninety-five percent of books never earn back their advance. So it’s free money, right? No, it is not. Not earning out your royalty can affect your chances of ever getting another contract. At Wordeee, we love to know that you believe in your work and that you will enjoy getting paid for your effort from day one. So your royalty begins with the very first book you sell and continue for as long as your book is in print and you stand behind your work. We will never remainder your book. You will!

Post-Production Support

Post-production is when the real work begins. You now have a book so use your lounge creatively to find your tribe and gain their support. Your contract with Wordeee offers you a true partnership with all the bells and whistle build in for your success.

Galleys

Unless you request it, your books will be published in e-pub or e-book format. We will send the finished book as an e-pub. The galleys that are sent to reviewers will be in electronic format. Trade, hardcover, and audiobooks are available for face-to-face events and will need to be ordered from the platform.
