Why is Independent Publisher Status so important?
SO MUCH MORE THAN DIY, when you become an Independent Author-As-Publisher,
you gain complete creative control, AND you get to keep 100% of your royalties, copyright, and profits.
Establish Credibility • Attract More Clients
Minimize Your Investment • Maximize Your Compensation
Retain 100% of Your Profits • Maintain 100% of Your Copyright
Access Global Distribution • Be Seen as the Thought-Leader in Your Industry
You get to hire a team of hand-picked industry professionals to help you strategically add a new stream of income to your existing business. We will . . .
- Set up all your Independent Publisher accounts with professional vendors and government agencies.
- Have conversations with your CPA and/or legal counsel to clarify our process.
- Finalize the content of your book with ghostwriting, coaching, editing, and/or proofreading.
- Write your back cover “sales copy” to attract more buyers.
- Design the front and back cover as well as the interiors of your book to make for an “easier read.”
- Put all the publishing pieces together as a final masterpiece you can’t wait to show off.
AUTHOR-AS-PUBLISHER status is for you if...
- You have your heart set on signing with a traditional publisher and can’t seem to find a Book Agent willing to represent you.
- You realize you’ll make more money (and keep more) from each book sale, helping you offset your initial investment.
- You’ve seen what some other authors have published using the DIY option on Amazon and were not impressed.
- You want to be proud of your book, with a professional look and feel, and have it represent the brand you’ve worked so hard to establish.
- You are not a techno wizard and don’t even want to think about going the DIY route.
We do all the work — you get all the accolades!
