Publishers & Agents FAQ
Can you work under our agency's or imprint's brand?
Yes. White-label engagements are common — your authors and clients never need to know Story & Sterling was involved unless you choose to say so.
Can a writer match an existing series or author voice?
Yes. Our team regularly studies an existing manuscript, style guide, or prior titles in a series to match established voice and tone.
What if an author on our list misses a deadline mid-contract?
We can step in to complete or restructure a stalled manuscript against your existing publication schedule, often on a compressed timeline.
Do you offer rush rates for tight deadlines?
Yes, expedited timelines are available for an adjusted fee — let us know your constraints and we'll scope what's realistic.
