Frequently Asked Questions.
Who, exactly is Boohouse Books run by?
My name is Mark Steven Nordlund and I am an author, cartoonist and graphic designer. I am an indie author who wants to contribute to the reading community and help others along my journey to success. I post my stories and books for free on boohousebooks.com and at the moment, solely contribute to Patreon rewards. I use funds accumulated by Patreon and website merchandise sales to grow my brand and help authors find their readership.
I have a short story I'd like to submit. What kind of link do I need to provide?
Any link that drives readers to follow you, join your crowdfunding platform, subscribe to your channel or buy your books. Your link could be a YouTube channel, a bookstore, an Amazon page or your own publishing website.
I submitted a story or book. How long before I can expect to see it posted on the website and/or podcast?
Due to limited manpower, Boohouse Books posts a limited amount of titles per week. Please be patient and bear with us as we review and post stories and books.
Is Boohouse Books for fiction-only?
At this time, Yes, we only accept and post works of fiction in the genres of fantasy, science fiction, romance, humor, horror, thriller and mystery.
Does Boohouse Books accept children's books?
No. We are associated with young adult and adult audiences only.
Does Boohouse Books review or screen my submissions?
Yes. Every submission is experienced and reviewed before posting as a quality check. We do not post everything that is submitted.
Can I submit a story or book written and/or narrated by AI?
Yes. We screen our submissions for quality and reader enjoyment. If you have used AI in your creation, we will post it if it is good, quality writing.
Is Boohouse Books an L.L.C.?
At the moment, Boohouse Books is not a business or an L.L.C. As the brand grows, I will eventually register Boohouse Books as an L.L.C. and become a book publishing group.
What is the owner of Boohouse Books looking to eventually achieve?
I want Boohouse Books to become a Free Audiobook Streaming Service, similar to what Tubi or Pluto does for film or television. Eventually, I’d like it to become a free app, a publishing L.L.C. and a large contributor to join readers with talented authors.
I want to submit a story or book, but I don’t have an audiobook format yet. Can I submit an ebook?
Yes. At this time, I am taking ebooks as well as audiobooks. Submit your ebook as an EPUB file and it can be downloaded by readers. Be sure to copyright your book before posting.
Do I need to copyright my story or book before submitting?
Absolutely! Please copyright your work before submitting to avoid having it stolen and copyrighted by someone else. Put the copyright owner and date on your work before sending it to us or anyone.
I want to contribute to the Boohouse Books Patreon. What can I submit?
You can submit anything that relates to writing or a book or story you have featured on our website and/or podcast. DO NOT send explicit material or sexual images. Our Patreon is not a distributor of explicit material.
I am an author of erotic stories and books. Can I submit or contribute?
Works for the sole purpose of eroticism and written pornography will not be accepted upon review. However, if your story has good subject matter and includes sexual content, our screening process will take that into account.
What genres of stories or books does Boohouse Books accept?
We will take any FICTION genre, with the exception of blatant eroticism or written pornography. Upon submission, we ask that you choose your genre from a dropdown list. At the moment, we are only accepting fiction works.
