Join the bench

Write great books. Get paid properly.

Velmont is building a small bench of genre specialists: ghostwriters, developmental editors, cover designers, illustrators and narrators. Fewer people, better projects, fair pay.

01

Matched projects

Only work in the genres you know, with authors who chose you.

02

Milestone pay, on time

Paid at every approved milestone, not at the end of a nine-month project.

03

A real team

A publishing director handles the client, the schedule and the hard conversations.

How vetting works

Four steps, about three weeks.

  1. Portfolio

    Published, verifiable work in your genre.

  2. Paid trial

    A sample chapter, reviewed by two senior editors.

  3. References

    Three past authors or editors.

  4. Agreement

    Confidentiality and IP terms, then your first match.
