NATIONAL BOOK COUNCIL

Expression of Interest
The National Book Council (Il-Kunsill Nazzjonali tal-Ktieb) is inviting publishers to submit an expression of interest regarding the winning manuscripts of the Literature for Young Adults Competition 2011 (Konkors ta’Kitba Letteratura ) organised by the aforementioned Council with Aġenzija Żgħażagħ.
The novels that won this competition are two:Bella by Rita Saliba and Ossessjoni by Carmel Scicluna.
i.The manuscripts shall be published within three months from the date of selection by the publisher, otherwise upon agreement between the organisers and the publisher concerned.
ii. The decision on who among the publishers will be selected to publish the books shall be based on
a) what package will be offered to the author as a reward for his work
b) what design will be proposed for the final production of the book (an indication from the interested publisher would suffice)
c) what publicity will be planned for the book launch
d) at what price will the book be sold
e) what distribution will the book have upon publication
iii. The publisher of each winning book shall be given €2000 as financial aid for the production and printing. This would then be reflected in the selling price, which is therefore subsidised.
iv. Upon selection of the publisher or publishers, an agreement shall be signed and strictly respected. In the event of a breach of this agreement, the organisers reserve the right of terminating this agreement.
v. All the rights of the text itself remain the author’s. The editing right belongs to the publisher and the National Book Council.
vi. The publisher is responsible for the book’s image. On the other hand the final presentation is subject to the organisers’ approval.
vii. The winning author shall accept to work with the publisher determined by the organisers of the competition.
viii. The publication price shall be clearly stated in the agreement. Since the publishing house will be given a sum of money for the publication, it is expected that the books price reflects the aid.
ix. The publisher shall also incur the costs for proofreading. The proofreader shall have official recognition from the National Council for the Maltese Language (Kunsill Nazzjonali tal-Ilsien Malti).
x. The organisers reserve the right to ensure that the publication is of quality.
xi. The profit goes to the publisher.
xii. In the books it shall be clearly stated that the publication was the winner of the Literature for Young Adults Competition 2011 and is being published after the aid received from the Parliamentary Secretariat for Youth and Sport and the National Book Council.
xiii. The publisher concerned will give 40 copies to Aġenzija Żgħażagħ and 20 copies to the National Book Council.
xiv. The chosen publishers shall also create a simple educational programme for the winner of the young writer competition. This programme shall include advice from the publishers to the author about how to improve his or her writing so that, in the future, it could also be published.
The final decision of who is to get the publication remains in the hands of the National Book Council.
The expression of interest shall be sent to The Secretary, National Book Council, Central Public Library, Triq J.J. Mangion, Floriana until the 20th October, 2012.
