Complete the submission form with details about your project — book, album, or podcast.
We review each project carefully based on its message, quality, and alignment with our mission.
If your project feels right for Ellis, you’ll receive an acceptance email and your official publishing agreement.

We send a clear publishing contract that outlines royalties, ownership, and expectations. No surprises. No fine-print scams. Just a fair partnership between creator and publisher.

Once accepted, we help finalize your project — editing, mastering, cover art, metadata, and all the behind-the-scenes details that make a release professional and profitable.

Your project launches on major platforms (Amazon, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, etc.) under Ellis Is Dead Publishing.
You’ll receive royalty updates, marketing assets, and ongoing support.

You retain full copyright to your work.
Ellis Is Dead Publishing holds a temporary non-exclusive publishing license — meaning we distribute and promote your project, but you stay in control of your art.

Standard Royalty Split:

|Artist/Author: 70%
|Ellis Is Dead Publishing: 30%
