Everything about working with SamEnrico — for libraries, platforms, bookstores, publishers, rights holders and authors. If your question isn't here, email sam@samenrico.com and we'll answer it personally.
Every title is published in hardcover and paperback, as an eBook, and — where the story suits it — as a full-length audiobook and/or a full-cast audio drama in visual streaming format. The full catalogue is available to your patrons through our apps and available to licence for platforms with their own apps.
Audiobooks are single-narrator readings of a full book, chapter by chapter. Audio dramas are full-cast performances with sound design, score and immersive mixing — presented in visual streaming format on our VoxFlicks app. Both are available through VoxFlicks.
They are our three services:
See Content Licensing for full details.
Yes. Libraries, schools, universities and other institutions licence ZLOADR and VoxFlicks for their patrons. Your patrons download the apps free on iOS and Android, then log in with their existing library credentials to access the full catalogue. MARC records, SSO integration and usage reporting are included. See Library licences.
Yes. If you already run your own app or streaming platform, licence our catalogue content directly — eBooks, audiobooks and audio dramas. Delivered to your systems with clean worldwide rights. See Content licensing.
Yes. Anyone can buy single copies directly from AskSurFa with no trade account required. Bookstores and retailers can open a trade account for wholesale pricing and drop-shipping. See For Bookstores.
Our ONIX 3.0 feed is the single source of truth for all title metadata. Feeds are available in two versions — with ISBNs for retailers, libraries and bookstores, or without ISBNs for platforms that don't use them. See ONIX feeds.
Yes — always. Every publishing agreement we offer is a licence, not a transfer. You retain copyright in your work, and we licence the specific rights we agree in writing. Any right not explicitly granted remains yours.
Every service, licence and contract is quoted individually. We don't publish a fixed price list because scopes vary so much. Tell us about your project and we'll send a written quote, usually within 3 working days.
Royalty rates are set out in the written agreement and depend on the tier — Starter, Professional or Premium. Rates range from 30% to 50% of net receipts, and every agreement is documented in plain English before you sign.
"Net receipts" means what we actually receive from the retailer after their discount — not the cover price. Statements issued quarterly, paid the following month.
Typical timelines:
Yes. We produce full-length audiobooks with either professional human narration or reviewed AI narration, and full-cast audio dramas delivered as serialized seasons. Both are available through VoxFlicks. Enquire for a quote.
We publish widely across fiction and non-fiction, but not everything. We're actively acquiring contemporary and historical fiction, crime, thriller, romance, science fiction, memoir, biography, history, business, self-development, popular science, health and illustrated non-fiction.
We act as your rights agent for translation, film and TV, audio, serial and merchandise on a commission-only basis. No retainer, no listing fee, no charge if we don't place a right. Commission terms are set out clearly in your representation agreement and paid through to you with each statement.
No. Our agreements cover the rights we produce and distribute, but they don't lock you out of other channels. If you already sell direct, or through another publisher in a specific territory, we'll work around that.
Email sam@samenrico.com and we'll answer it personally, usually within one working day.
