FAQ
Is Pervasive Media a traditional publisher or a vanity press?
The simple answer: Pervasive Media is neither. We publish in house works by our editors and staff under the Pervasive Press imprint. We do not currently purchase print rights or publish outside works. What we do instead is assist writers in learning how to develop their own self-publishing platforms through available third-party organizations such as Amazon's KDP Service, Direct2Digital and others.
How do I know that Pervasive Media is the right agency for me?
At Pervasive we understand that not every editor is a fit for every writer. Our client intake process takes your writing style, genre, skill level, and experience into account before any editor or writing analyst is assigned. You will have the opportunity to contact and work with our staff members and see the quality of their work as it applies to yours before any terms of service are agreed on.
How do you customize your services for niche writers?
Pervasive Media understands that writing to market is the real key to success. Readers want a rollercoaster ride, but they often prefer that ride happen in the confines of familiar genre tropes. Our writers, editors and readers understand niche genres and their unique tropes, so they can help you target the emotional highs and lows in your work that genre readers expect.
I am struggling in a changing marketplace. Can you help me stay relevant?
Making the shift to on-demand printing and electronic distribution has become a challenge for many writers. Pervasive Media can help walk writers new to the electronic market through the editing, formatting and publishing processes.
What do services cost?
Due to differences in skill level and writing styles it is hard to predict an overall fee for services. In general, most skilled and experienced writers choose to pay for a la carte services as they need them. Copy editing, reading analysis, and proofreading costs will often vary by writer and can run anywhere for $150 to $700 depending on word count.
