Neon: A must-read thrilling cat-and-mouse serial killer thriller that readers love!

Product Information

Until recently Preditors & Editors would have been your first port of call if you had any doubts about a given publisher. This fantastic database kept tabs on a huge number of publishing companies, magazines and agents, tallying reports from writers and flagging up companies that might be operating in a less-then-ethical manner. Unfortunately, despite providing a sterling service to the writing community since 1997, P&E never quite received the level of support it deserved. It’s currently mothballed, awaiting a new caretaker. Neon Books publishes one or two small, odd books each year: novellas, poetry pamphlets, short story chapbooks, or other esoteric projects. Here’s what you should know if you want to put forward a project for publication. Before sending in a proposal…

Key was surrounded by so many wires with a surgeon cut into his arm to do some tests. One day, Key took his sample to get it analyzed. The moment the sample was analyzed, Key was being chased and he ran away. Shio lives on the respectful side of the wall and he has to stay in his lane. He works at Kigen technologies and is not happy with his tech-support job. Read this story to know what he will do that he is now on the other side of the wall. Shio works as a Customer Service Representative at Kigen Technologies. He follows his routine life to stay on the right side of the wall. He toes the line, does his job and maintains normality. One day while returning from work, he started chasing two guys and ended up on the wrong side of the wall. Shio was found by Key. What will happen as Key interrogates Shio? Getting an agent can be such an impossible task that your instinct – when one replies to you brimming over with enthusiasm and praise for your work – might be to jump at the opportunity. But be careful: hidden fees could be just over the horizon. Legitimate agents usually make their money by taking a reasonable chunk out of any money that they make by selling your work. If they want paying up front, consider the possibility that they don’t plan on actually selling your work at all. Writing competitions We publish weird little books that might not find a home elsewhere. We don’t publish general collections of poetry. All of our projects have a very specific focus or narrative. Descending to the lower levels is nobody's desire, yet Shio found himself on the less esteemed side of the wall, where he crossed paths with Key. Key insisted that someone of Shio's caliber didn't belong on that side of the wall, hinting at secrets they had yet to unearth.As a debut author, Ryan has executed an exceptional job, leaving me eager for more of his AI-infused, technology-driven dystopian tales in the future. I'm genuinely elated by my experience with this book. The unexpected twists in the plot added depth to the narrative, and I was particularly pleased with the way the story concluded. However, we ask that you only submit a proposal if you have at some point supported the press. This includes: Key is a man without a past. He doesn't even know his name. He had tried for three years to reveal the truth about his identity but still he hasn't got a clue. To stop the nightmares, he has to find the truth.

This year we’d like to publish something weird, well-crafted, and amusing. We enjoy horror, sci-fi, and speculative writing. We’re open to almost any form, including fiction, poetry, and comics.Sukoshio was a bright student in school. He was called brilliant, prodigy and genius at school. Yet, he isn't at the same place as his friends. Shio is a customer service representative. According to some, coming to Galivaria is a chance to make a name for yourself but Galivaria is far from paradise. Most Galivarians were pencil-pushing salary workers whose only destinations in life were their cubicles, tiny one-room apartments, and ultimately the grave. Artificial Intelligence holds the promise of shaping our future. The pervasive discussions around AI have ignited my profound interest in the subject. Recently, I delved into the book "Neon Nothing," which intriguingly explores AI and technology. You should be immediately wary of any publisher who wishes to print your book without editing or proofreading it. The profits of legitimate publishers rest on the quality of the books they publish, and so they will do everything they can to ensure that they are the best they can be. Vanity publishers don’t care about the quality of the books they publish, as the only people to whom they will sell are the family and friends of the author. Vanity publishers will, therefore, rarely bother with thorough editing or proofreading. Don’t part with any money! The world-building in the narrative is undeniably distinctive, though admittedly, it requires some time to grasp its complexity fully. The characters, particularly Shio and Key, leave a lasting impression, making this an enthralling read. Key is a man without a past. He has been struggling for the past three years to find out the truth about himself. Surgeons keep on putting cuts into him and he is quite used to it now.

If a vanity publisher has been scamming authors for any length of time at all, it is generally possible to find accounts of their dodgy behaviour on the internet. Search for the name of the publishing company in combination with words like “scam” or “vanity”. This, more than anything else, is one of the easiest ways to make sure you don’t get taken in by a dodgy publisher. Big publishers too These companies work with self-publishing authors to help them bring their books to completion. They may offer editing, proofreading, printing or marketing services in exchange for a fee. Reputable companies will be honest about their role, and will not pretend to be publishers. If you’ve decided that you want to self-publish, but don’t know where to get started (and don’t want to take the time to learn) these companies could be right for you. How a vanity publisher typically works We’d particularly recommend reading a chapbook, as this will give you a clear insight into what we publish.

Christmas Cards & Gift Wrap

This bi-annual competition is open to short story writers world-wide but entries must be written in English. The basic difference is this: legitimate publishers make their money by selling books to the general public; vanity publishers claim to do this, but actually make their money by selling publishing services to unwary authors. Some things which aren’t vanity publishing… I loved the way Aimee automatically did most of the tasks of Shio and eased his life. Shio's only goal in life is to do his job and stay in the lane. He has heard about people losing their jobs and moving to the lower parts of the city. Shio didn't want that to happen to himself. Yet, he ended up at the other side of the wall. What was Shio thinking when he started chasing the hooded man and the one in the suit? Left for dead three years ago, he woke up with a cybernetic spine and a head full of horrific dreams. Forced into an unlikely alliance, Key and Shio must dig out the truth before time runs out.

Before sending in a proposal, please consider whether a very small press is a good fit for your project. We publish work that is intentionally niche. You may wish to seek a larger or more mainstream publisher. What we’re looking for One fateful day, as Shio was on his way home from work, he boarded a train and witnessed two men engaged in a heated argument, which escalated to the sound of a gunshot. Curiosity compelled Shio to tail these men, and the reasons for his actions unravel in the story, raising questions about potential danger. Neon Books is a tiny press with limited resources. To give you an idea of the scale of our press, here are some figures:Key is a man without a past. The phrase "We're going to do wonderful things to you" haunted his thoughts. He can get a maximum of four hours of sleep. He had gone through the saw pressed against his skin over and over. Now, he is used to it. He wants to put the past to rest.
