What authors usually misunderstand
Authors often encounter hidden fees, upsells, or 'free publishing' offers that cost thousands later.
FloodGate's approach
FloodGate publishes transparent pricing upfront. FloodGate is not the cheapest publishing option — it is built for authors who want professional production, clear ownership, and structured execution. No hidden fees. Payment only happens after acceptance and your decision to proceed.
What this means for you
Know the full cost before you commit. Free submission does not mean free publishing.
