FAQ

  • A: Not at all. You’re welcome to come with an idea, an outline, a few pages — or even just a vague desire to write. The purpose of our first conversations is precisely to explore how your project can take shape.

  • A: No. Maison Ynoma is dedicated to psychological, unsettling or unconventional narratives — whether contemporary, dystopian, or introspective. If your novel explores the darker corners of the human mind, emotional complexity, or the silence that wounds, you’re in the right place. Classic feel-good stories or purely commercial fiction are not our focus.

  • A: Yes. Depending on your project, we offer either tailored support for self-publishing or direct publication under the Maison Ynoma imprint. Each manuscript is carefully reviewed, and the best path is chosen together.

  • A: For our most comprehensive packages, a payment schedule can be arranged on a case-by-case basis. However, the full amount must be settled before the editorial work begins. Feel free to reach out if you need a specific arrangement.

  • A: This is not a traditional copyediting service. However, we do flag inconsistencies, awkward phrasing, or notable mistakes during our reviews — always with care and respect. If needed, we can recommend a professional proofreader.

  • A: Absolutely. Every exchange, every manuscript, every note is treated with strict confidentiality. Nothing will ever be shared or reused without your explicit consent.

  • A: Every engagement is made consciously. If an unexpected situation arises, we’re open to discussing a reschedule or adjustment. However, no automatic refund is guaranteed. Each case is considered with care and understanding.

  • A: Maison Ynoma does not accept manuscripts via private messages (Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, etc.).
    All submissions must be sent exclusively to the following email address: manuscrit@maisonynoma.com.
    This process ensures a
    clear, confidential, and fair review for every project.

  • A: We accept the first three chapters of your manuscript, sent exclusively in .PDF or .DOCX (Word) format.
    Please make sure the layout is clean and readable — no special effects or distracting typography.

  • A: No.
    Maison Ynoma is a traditional independent publishing house.
    If your manuscript is selected and you accept our offer, you pay nothing — no reading fees, no publishing fees, no hidden costs.
    We do not practice vanity publishing or crowdfunding-based models.

  • A: We aim to reply within 30 to 60 days.
    This timeframe may vary depending on the volume of submissions.
    If you haven’t heard from us after that period, it means your manuscript was not selected.

  • A: Maison Ynoma publishes very few titles each year.
    We value a slow, thoughtful and respectful editorial process over volume.
    Our choices are always editorial — never personal.

  • A: Yes — as long as:

    – You are the sole author of the work,
    – The manuscript is not under contract elsewhere,
    – And you are open to a full editorial relaunch if needed (title, etc.).
