Updated October 10th, 2024: They are currently closed to submissions. Do Not Query.
TWB Press’s tagline is “Electronic Publishing for the 21st century.” They have an additional tag line on their main page that says “TWB Press publishes stories of human conflict and redemption through a variety of world views that reflect humanity at its best…and at its worst. “
They publish novels and novellas electronically with print copies available for some books. They don’t have print distribution but sell books online, not just via Amazon, but also Barnes & Nobles and Smashwords.
They publish the following genres: Science Fiction, Supernatural, Horror & Urban Fantasy, Thriller, Romance, Erotic Romance, and Mainstream fiction.
TWB Press is run by Terry Wright. He has published his own work through the press.
Their covers are genre-appropriate but not particularly well designed or executed (in my opinion). The website is very much geared towards readers not writers, and it is easy to buy books. That said, based on spending time on their website, they don’t seem to be selling that many books. Lots of the books don’t have any reviews or stars on Amazon.
They are promoting work on YouTube via videos, but that doesn’t seem to be attracting a lot of attention.
They do not allow simultaneous submissions, and they emphasize the importance of story structure. They ask that nothing be attached to the query email. To read their full very detailed guidelines, go here. Please read them carefully if you are considering submitting and also spend some time with their catalogue.
