Best Damn Writing Acquisitions

We want to buy your previously published works.

Via Superchamp Books’ SB ReFresh™ program, we acquire previously published works for the purpose of republishing those works in the Best Damn Writing Network and the larger Superchamp Books publishing ecosystem.

Republishing your pieces with Best Damn Writing/Superchamp Books has a number of benefits.  It gives you an instant Best Damn Writing (or other Superchamp Books site) by-line, a searchable author profile, an author page, a new spotlight on your work, a new addition to your writing portfolio and CV, and a new payday. 

Also, through your author profile, you will be able to add notes and commentary to your previously published pieces. Furthermore, you’ll benefit from additional professional editing/copyediting where needed.

We pay a rate for all of the pieces that we acquire.  Note: this fee is for a *non-exclusive license to republish, so you retain full copyright in your work. The rates are as follows:
