We offer the voices of women worldwide to women worldwide. There are some basic things to consider, before sending a manuscript to us. That means that all books are written for a woman's perspective and must appeal to women readers. Male readers, and writers, are welcome but they are not the target audience. Ladybug is a socially conscious company.
All books contain a charitable element, from a combination of royalties and profits.
If that doesn't appeal to you, another publisher is probably a better idea. We like people who care that this is being done and understand and approve it. The amount the author contributes to the donation is decided by the author. We respect the fact that some authors have more financial need or a more direct connection with the charity than do others and we keep our royalties high so authors can feel comfortable donating. We expect each author to select her own charity.
