The Big Publisher Directory

We want to work closely with authors whose primary goal is to entertain and engage readers. We seek authors who have an intriguing tale to tell and a unique voice to match.

We relish our individuality and the breadth of our interests – being entirely independent, we are free to pursue our ideas and inspirations; we shall continue to build on our reputation for scholarship, innovative publishing and the very highest standards of book production.

Moreover, through our experience and careful outsourcing, we hope we can publish more effectively and more nimbly than some of the bigger companies. We set out to publish fast, paying careful attention to what is special about each book, and giving personal attention at all times to our authors and to every aspect of our publications.

Many of our books are published in association with a wide variety of other organizations, including scholarly international institutes, non-governmental organizations, financial institutions and other publishers around the world.

We publish both in print and digital and distribute our books in UK, Europe, USA, Canada, Australia, Malaysia and Singapore. We run a biennial competition for women novelists called the Virginia Prize for Fiction, have a celebrated international list of young adult fiction and publish diverse fiction, literary and historical fiction and select non-fiction titles.

Today, Barbour’s frontlist releases number more than 120 titles per year. That, coupled with nearly one thousand stock titles, allows Barbour to provide retailers around the globe with affordable and accessible Christian products for everyone. In its brief history, Barbour has shipped over one hundred million books.

We believe in the dynamic value of partnering. Beaufort has designed a model that involves the author in all aspects of the publishing process, and draws on the professional experience of the Beaufort team every step of the way.

Beaufort’s books are distributed by Midpoint Trade Books, one of the largest distributors in the industry, with over 250 independent presses in the United States, Canada, England, Scotland, Australia, and Ireland.

Black Rose Writing is an independent publishing house that strongly believes in developing a personal relationship with their authors. The Texas-based publishing company doesn’t see authors as clients or just another number on a page, but rather as individual people… people who deserve an honest review of their material and to be paid traditional royalties without ever paying any fees to be published.

Black Rose Writing, established in 2006, features books from an array of fiction, non-fiction, and children’s book genres, all having one thing in common, an individual’s originality and hardship. It can take endless hours to finish a deserving manuscript, and Black Rose Writing applauds each and every author, giving them a chance at their dream. Because Black Rose Writing takes full advantage of modern printing technology, the company has an infinite print run via print-on-demand services.

Since 2005, at Blooming Twig, we have been building our profile as the little literary engine that could, ignoring fads and sticking with work that has depth and the power to make a difference. Now our company’s trademark phrase “books that matter” has become the name of our Thought Leadership Marketing Agency: M8R, and we have expanded our desire to assist motivated individuals and organizations with vision to extract their intellectual property, make more significant profit, and change the world.
Our company shares the same brash, ethical, and DIY ideals that revolutionized popular music in the early 1990’s. Blooming Twig was founded by Kent Gustavson PhD, with the empowering notion that authorship isn’t just for the elite or the privileged. Blooming Twig is about giving the people with something to say (“thought leaders”) a platform, walking its clients up to their own influencer pulpit, and making sure there is a like-minded crowd assembled to hear the meaningful message.

Our writing, editing, and marketing team is made up of a domestic and international roster of experts, and our secretive methods proudly eschew the use of any hard-selling or “black hat” practices. Our ultimate goal is to be the amplifier for amplifiers; we like to say, Let us be the bass player to your Hendrix.

Our books have been recognized with awards and national and regional review attention. We have had many titles reach Nielsen BookScan category top 50 status in retail sales, illustrating that readers have responded by purchasing Blue River Press titles.

We produce crime and horror fiction in paperback, eBook and apps for all digital platforms.

We cannot and do not try to compete with large publishing houses, but we want to provide a service which differs from many independent publishers. We have high standards and our acceptance rate is low. We do not apologise for this as we have a brand to care about as well as the authors who we sign. We publish high quality, exciting and engaging titles.

Caffeine Nights Publishing has one goal and that is to produce fiction to keep the reader entertained. Reading should be a pleasurable experience. We want to make you laugh, cry, keep you on the edge of your seat, we want to frighten you and sometimes make you look into the darkest corner of your heart, but most of all we want to challenge your emotions and make you turn the page.

At Career Press, we publish general non-fiction that addresses real, practical human needs. Our useful, accessible, “how-to” books reach a broad market of average Americans – people grappling with universal issues relating to job-hunting, career management, education, money, and personal goals.

Our books have been featured in Woman’s Day, RT Book Reviews, Kirkus Books, Library Journal, Publisher’s Weekly, and on many romance blogs including USA Today‘s Happily Ever After; Heroes and Heartbreakers; Dear Author; Harlequin Junkie; Smart Bitches, Trashy Books, and many more. Our titles have won numerous awards and distinctions including USA Today best-seller list, Bookriot.com’s 100 Must-Read Romantic Comedies, Culturess’s 2016 Top Romances Not to Miss, 2016 Best Audiobooks from AudioFile Magazine, 2014 Benjamin Franklin Silver Award for eBook Excellence, Readers Crown Awards, National Reader’s Choice Award, Romantic Novelists Association’s Joan Hessayon New Writer Award finalist, HOLT Medallion finalists, Colorado Romance Writers’ Awards of Excellence, and InD’Tale’s RONE Awards, among others. Our talented authors have also received glowing praise from romance stars Debbie Macomber, Linda Howard, Carly Phillips, Kat Martin, and more bestselling authors.

We pride ourselves on our diverse characters and plots, and were honored with the best multicultural/interracial romance publisher designation by more than 1,500 readers who voted in the 2012 Swirl Awards.

We’re looking for talented authors and poets – both new and established – whose work we help refine, support, publish and promote. And, through their works, we’re looking to grow the reading public’s love of reading, writing, crafting and dreaming.

Let other people say that books are dead, that their time is past. Since 2006 we’ve been helping writers and readers prove that idea wrong – and we’re just getting started.

Dundurn’s long successful publishing program began in 1972 with fewer than five employees, and has since expanded to over twenty. The company now has more than 2,500 books in print and 1,700 ebooks available.

Founded in 1911, the company has developed a reputation for publishing excellent literary and intellectual works and a myriad of responsible viewpoints from across the religious spectrum. In the spirit of this tradition, Eerdmans looks forward to expansion in the area of digital publishing to offer its trusted and groundbreaking resources to an even wider audience of academics, lay and ministry leaders, and general readers.

Our founder, Sue Arroyo, launched Equinox Books for the love of story, those tales that bewitch and dazzle you, grab a hold of you and won’t let go. She calls them Books to Live In.

We facilitate and engage in communication between readers and writers, because that’s where the magic happens. We involve our authors and readers every step of the way… in the process of choosing the books we publish, the formats in which we offer them, even the way we advertise and publicize them.

We begin with content for which the book is still the right medium and we go from there. We’re traditional book publishers working within the book industry establishment, such as it is, and doing things our own way. Every book we publish has an initial print run between 2,000 and 10,000 copies, and we expect to reprint at least once in the first year or two after publication.

We got into this business over twenty years ago with no base knowledge of publishing conventions and built what we have one discovery, one decision, one mistake, one triumph, one step at a time, and that’s the path we’re still forging. We still love, buy, and read books, and know others do too. Not end of story, but beginning of the next steps ahead.

Choosing nonfiction books for particular audiences, recognizing works that deserve readers’ attention, supporting authors’ personal and creative goals, public outreach, and creative sales and marketing have always been an important part of who we are. Digital books and their offshoots, mobile products, rights sales, innovative business partnerships, ticketed book and conversation events, and publishing consulting are a growing part of our world.

We’re a small, agile company with a small, energized staff, surrounded by a mid-sized group of authors and book production professionals who help us release inspired books into the world, surrounded by an extensive network of partners, vendors, customers, and other business friends and creative connections.

We have three imprints:

Lake Claremont Press (since 1994)
Histories and guidebooks for greater Chicagoland by Chicago authors.

Lake Claremont Press: A Chicago Joint (since 2015)
Distribution for entrepreneurial authors of Chicago nonfiction.

As a new publisher, we are more nimble and willing to take bigger risks on a book – publishing a novel, idea or book proposal that may not get picked up elsewhere. As long as the writing or idea is great and attractive to readers, we are interested.

We are a traditional publisher who covers production costs, never charging the author for a completed manuscript we accept, and we come with a team of professionals experienced in publishing.

We only ask an author to invest in their novel if they require ghostwriting, and only if we decide their proposed idea or partial manuscript is worth publication. We only charge in this situation enough to cover the ghostwriting and development costs prior to production. We then cover all production costs and offer the same terms as an author with a completed manuscript. The cost for ghostwriting a proposal or partial manuscript: $5,995.

We offer unconditionally:

– The pride of being traditionally published

– A modest advance

– 50% royalties paid quarterly

– The production cost of a beautifully, polished digital and print book

– An initial, limited, but strategic marketing spend, marketing activity and advice

– An expert marketing plan for the author to implement to build a platform and further sales.

– Authors retain all subsidiary rights (including but not limited to: motion picture, print, audio, translation, etc. – we only take worldwide English language paperback and digital rights).

– Support and some amount of further marketing at our discretion with continual price adjustments and advice as needed to maximize sales.

We offer conditionally:

Launched by psychologist Matthew McKay and writer Patrick Fanning in 1973, New Harbinger pioneered a style of self-help book that has become the standard of today. Fanning and McKay believed that the job of a self-help book was to teach readers skills they could use to significantly improve the quality of their lives. These books might inspire and enlighten in their own way, but they had to offer real tools for real change. McKay and Fanning’s writing partnership has yielded a dozen highly successful titles which have established the model for New Harbinger’s other books.

The values of our founders have, since the beginning, directed our publishing program. We value books that address the real problems of our readers.

Today New World Library owns its own spacious building in Novato, California, has sixteen employees, and generates eight-figure revenues. The company’s name changed in the mid-1980s to better reflect the quality of its developing list. One of its first books, Gawain’s Creative Visualization, became an international bestseller and has sold more than six million copies in English and been translated into more than thirty foreign editions.

Many of New World Library’s books are categorized as New Age, though Allen says “there’s really nothing new in New Age; it’s been around for a long time. It’s the perennial philosophy, after all. Certainly for many, though, a New Age is dawning. Perhaps it will prove to be a great New Renaissance, possibly even an era of cooperation and global peace. We certainly hope so, and we are publishing material that can show us how to create far better lives for ourselves (such as Eckhart Tolle’s, The Power of Now ) and a world that works far better (such as Active Hope by Joanna Macy & Chris Johnstone and The Power of Partnership by Riane Eisler).”

Authors will discover that we at Odyssey Books understand the synergy that exists between an author and their works. We foster our relationship with authors through dedication and ongoing support.

For Odyssey, each new release is a collaboration, and we value highly the thoughts, wishes, and dreams of our authors.

Disinformation Books, , was founded in 1997 and publishes on topics as wide-ranging as conspiracy theory, secret societies, ancient civilizations, and current affairs.

RockHill Publishing LLC was formed to cut through the submission stack of unread writers and find those whose talents may otherwise never be discovered. I had an idea that the fast track to publication lay in the short story. Being able to write several short stories in the time it takes to write one full length novel surely increases the chances of “being discovered”. However, fighting ones way to the editor’s desk of magazines is no easier than breaking down the doors of a publishing house. Our submission model will be the synopsis, characters’ outline, and sample chapter. We guarantee that all who submits will be read and an evaluation giving.

When expressing interest in campaigns on Publishizer, Something or Other Publishing is not looking for authors to work through its standard Book Idea Program. Instead, it is looking to establish a relationship with the author and to determine if there’s an alignment of goals and the potential for a close, productive working relationship. If SOOP likes what it sees, it offers a traditional full service publishing contract.

The mission of Sounds True is to find teachers and artists who serve as a gateway to spiritual awakening and to produce, publish, and distribute their work with beauty, intelligence, and integrity. We treat our authors, vendors, and partners in the same way we would want to be treated. We work flexibly and efficiently together to create a cooperative, loving environment that honors respectful authenticity and individual growth. We maintain a healthy level of profitability so that we are an independent and sustainable employee-owned organization.

To maintain our integrity as a business and a publishing company, we believe that Sounds True must embody the qualities of consciousness and compassion taught by our authors in the day-to-day practice of our business. We believe in creating a work environment that nurtures creativity, individual expression, and open communication. Sounds True pursues this goal by establishing policies for flexible work schedules, quality health and dental benefits, a relaxed (nonexistent) dress code, and compensation programs for helping employees pursue training, volunteer efforts, and spiritual interests outside of work. We also have a pet-friendly office space, so our people can share their workspace with their beloved animal companions.

We have an active backlist of more than 150 titles, including two New York Times bestsellers, one of which, Forks Over Knives: The Plant-Based Way to Health, was a #1 New York Times bestseller. Whether narrative or prescriptive, we look for books that offer readers insight and/or guidance in ways that are fresh, singular, and necessary.

We’re happy to say that, in some ways, we’re a stereotypical indie. We aren’t, for example, risk averse—we love dangerous, provocative books and we’re willing to take a chance that there are readers out there who will love them too.

In other ways, our mission is pretty darn traditional—to select and curate original narratives, and to nurture the extraordinary writers who produce them. To maintain the highest editorial standards. To complement beautiful words with elegant, streamlined design.
​
But it’s when you take the fundamental ingredients of conventional publishing—good books by fine writers for enthusiastic readers—and throw technology into the mix that magic can happen. Technology—the emergence of e-books and readers’ growing preference for e-reading—changes everything.

The advantages of e-books are myriad. A whole library can fit in your purse or your pocket. A friend recommends a book and, with just a few clicks, it can be in your hands so you can read it too. And talk about green—buy an e-book and save the trees!
​
We do understand that some people still prefer printed books. Readers can look for our print editions at all major online retailers. Bookstores can locate our books in the Ingram catalog.​

You need to know more about what we do, so visit www.wordcatcher.com and explore for yourself. This is the best way to see how we treat our authors and books, and our ethos.

Ainsley & Allen Publishing has developed a new way for entrepreneurs to quickly create and publish their own high-quality book that establishes them as an authority in their market.

We define U.P. as high-concept books that our associates in the entertainment industry might consider optioning as major motion pictures and for television as well as authors with a large social media following. Our approach is to brand the project in all phases of the entertainment industry in order to drive sales to booksellers. For example, our first published title MEG (completely rewritten and expanded by NY Times best-selling author Steve Alten) has been greenlit as a major motion picture (starring Jason Statham) is being used in thousands of high schools across the United States, AND is being developed as a theme park.

Our strength is the ability to fill any role you might have, including ghost writing, helping you complete a manuscript, publishing, printing, distribution, or any service you might need to complete your book. Our process is determined by your needs. If you want assistance with self-publishing we can help.

Depending on the author and book, we can function as a traditional publisher, providing a royalty for each sale, or if you need more assistance, you will pay a small fee up front, but then we provide a very generous royalty. Working together, we can decide which method is best for both of us.

We’ve put together a team of seasoned writing, publishing, editorial, design, and book marketing experts who believe in partnering with authors to bring messages that matter to the world – using the highest standards in the industry.

In forming Black Pawn, we knew we wanted to do things a little differently. Instead of focusing on specific genres and tailoring to industry standard demographics, we’re more interested in allowing people to simply tell their stories. Whether it’s based on actual events, or if it’s something they’ve allowed their imaginations to conjure, we’re going to give them the opportunity to share their work with readers in both print and electronic formats. While other publishers are constantly worried about the bottom line, money isn’t our driving force. Good people are, and it’s sometimes those people who are being overlooked by mainstream publishing houses. Just take a look at some of the titles we’ve released so far and those in development, and you’ll discover everything from a real-life mystical experience to the basis of several upcoming feature films and television concepts.

The Boyle & Dalton imprint was founded in 2014, as a quality-vetted imprint of Columbus Publishing Lab. Founder Brad Pauquette conceptualized a hybrid model which balances the financial and rights model of self publishing with the quality controls and production excellence of a traditional publisher.

Boyle & Dalton authors share in the cost of producing and marketing their book. Within our hybrid model, authors gain access to the infrastructure and resources of a traditional publisher, but retain the majority of the profits as if they had self-published.

Working together with authors, we produce books that compete with their traditionally published counterparts, but we adapt to the realities of modern publishing and take advantage of the technologies available to us.
Our designers and editors produce exceptional books that are distributed in both print and digital formats to all major retailers, including Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com. Boyle & Dalton carefully considers all submissions for publication, based on manuscript quality. Boyle & Dalton does not acccept erotica or children’s books.

We vet all submissions for quality, and only accept titles that will preserve the reputation of the Boyle & Dalton imprint.

Under our cooperative arrangement, we invest a portion of the publishing costs and offer a stepped royalty structure from 30% to 60%–higher than the industry average. One distinguishing feature of our program is that our marketing effort includes a one-year launch, followed by two additional years of promotion through our social media, website, our seasonal genre, and subject matter email campaigns, and continuous support from our PR team.

Brandylane has been defined by excellence for over three decades, and we distinguish ourselves by producing meaningful, memorable, high quality books, and by being accessible and providing unparalleled personal support to our authors. If you choose to publish through Brandylane, you’ll discover quickly that we work hard for success in a highly competitive marketplace. We can assure you that the books we publish under our traditional and cooperative arrangements are comparable to the quality of design, production, launch and distribution offered by the major publishing houses, and will give you the best possible chance for success.

Our vision is simple: to create lasting transformational change in the world through you, our author-experts.

The brainchild of six-time international bestselling author Rob Cuesta, BrightFlame books focuses on titles in the areas of business, entrepreneurship, personal development, success psychology and mindset, health, and lifestyle.

Wherever you are in your publishing journey, we can support you.

1) If you’re just starting out, with a concept for a book but struggling to turn it into a manuscript—either because you lack time, you’re “not a writer,” or for some other reason—our collaborative writing approach pairs you up with a professional co-writer who will become your partner in taking the ideas in your head, ordering and arranging them, and creating the book you’ve been dreaming of writing.

2) If you’ve finished your manuscript and you need help in getting it published then, as a full-service publisher, we transform your draft manuscript into a beautiful finished book. Our editors edit and polish your words, then our creative team turns it into a professionally designed finished product, inside and out, that presents you as the thought leader and industry leader you are.

Technology trends have been good for authors and booksellers, but has held mixed blessings for publishers.

Caribbean Chapters Publishing has been around for just 8 years, rolling with the punches. In our own small way, we strive to produce quality editorial and design services. We know that no matter what the technology trends are, you can’t beat a good book!

A structured, consultative editorial process and top notch design services are complemented by customized marketing. Every book is different, and should be sold in a different way to capture its unique audience.

We recognize that a book and its author have a special relationship, and we like to stay out of the way. So we offer authors the kind of control that self-publishing brings, while providing professional support services and aggressive marketing — the best of both worlds.

And yes, we are in the Caribbean… in Barbados. We edit, design, publish and consult.

At Chipmunka Publishing we raise awareness of mental health and the stigma surrounding mental health problems by encouraging society to listen.

The barriers for authors are getting higher and the publishing industry less discerning and more unscrupulous.

Expertise in Slavic and European languages and literatures, extensive experience in international publishing, and a deep appreciation of the histories and cultures of both Western and Eastern Europe enable us to offer English-speaking readers throughout the world access to important works that deserve an audience beyond their native lands. We seek out books from Slavic countries that represent different ethnic communities of these regions and play an important part in our common cultural, literary and intellectual heritage, and promote a better understanding of this intriguing but often misunderstood part of the Eurasian continent.

The primary focus of Glagoslav Publications is to bring out translations that embody values that are uniquely Slavic in nature. Every book that we publish has already achieved an engaged readership in its native land, has been recognized by international critics, and, in many cases, has either received or been short-listed for prestigious national and international awards.

Thousands of projects later and with over 35 New York Times and Wall Street Journal best sellers, our award-winning editorial and design, robust marketing, and expert distribution capabilities have led to partnerships with some of the greatest thought leaders and independent publishers around the world.

Now there is another way, the i2i way. We DO ask for a small financial contribution towards costs but only on a SHARED RISK basis. And after that initial payment, the risk is all ours. We know from personal experience that most new authors are not ‘made of money.’

We are always open to submissions and promise a quick response, be it positive or negative.

We are NOT a self-publishing organisation – rather a partnership between Author and Publisher and where your book, if accepted, will have an internationally recognised imprint – i2i

At Impact Press we combine traditional publishing with self-publishing, providing a professional service that delivers a boutique, innovative and exciting publishing experience.

In this way, an author can raise money to produce the book before it is written, and build a platform at the same time. We offer a complete social media strategy, marketing and publicity through our online communities.

Our service is entirely selective and we apply robust selection criteria to the books we publish in exactly the same way as we did when we were working for some of the major UK publishing houses, such as Orion, Anova, Hodder or HarperCollins. We believe that by doing this we are creating a strong and credible list of brilliant books that should be given the opportunity to reach readers.

We apply our core values of quality, credibility and integrity to every book we publish and we work closely with our authors to ensure that they are involved with every step of the process – as much or as little as they want to be. We guide, advise and recommend and, by marketing, selling, and representing subsidiary rights to our books we work hard to ear back our authors’ investment and make their books the successes they deserve to be.

We are a hybrid publisher; our business model allows authors to pay for book production costs (editing, proofing, design, typesetting, etc) up front through one of our publishing packages.

We project manage, publish, manage and troubleshoot their title and pay 60% royalties on retail sales.

The book business is a difficult pursuit. Especially for an Independent writer. The decision to go it alone and self-publish, or go with a small press is strictly an individual business decision. Hiring professional freelance resources like editors, cover designers, and formatters can be daunting enough. Let alone that dreaded marketing and promotion. All of that takes precious time away from what you could be doing. Writing!

With an experienced Literary Agent, award-winning Author, publicist, and publisher like RJ Parker, you don’t have to do it alone. RJPP offers years of success and reputation to represent you and your work. Ask yourself, “Do I want to succeed? Is my book worthy of reaping all it is worth and then some?” If you take pride in your work and want to excel to the top, RJ Parker will implement his years of knowledge and skills learned as an industry leader in marketing to get your work into the hands of the people who matter.

What about the nitty-gritty financial workings?

We don’t pay advances as a traditional firm does. (which in this business, an advance is used against royalties before you get paid) BUT, we DO pay a much higher royalty rate AND you get paid every month! The standard industry royalty rate is 12-16%. We pay 50% to established writers, and 40% to new authors. (New authors will pay a setup fee). For the majority of authors, we pay the cost of editing, cover artist, ISBN number, formatting, etc.

After the 2010 release of her book, “How Athletes Roll,” Barbara realized that the PR and Marketing know-how she’d picked up in her time as a TV personality could lend its self nicely to the world of book publishing, and it wasn’t long after that she started building Waldorf Publishing from the ground up.

She named her publishing company after her Yellow Labrador…Waldorf!

Here’s what we stand for:

Honesty: because our mission is to be author-friendly, that means always giving honest advice about the ins and outs of the authorial life. We are dedicated to sticking by one of our founding precepts: “if I were the author, what would I want to know?”

Transparency: publishing is rife with dodgy behavior, from predatory vanity presses who promise the moon to traditional presses who make book changes without the author’s permission. We’re dedicated to letting you see the wizard behind the curtain, so you can rest easy that everything’s on the up and up.

Professionalism: with decades of combined years of writing, editing, designing, and publishing experience, our staff knows the ins and outs of the industry, and will be responsive and helpful. And of course, we will only publish books that truly contribute something wonderful to the world.

Kindness: as an author-friendly press, we take the word “friendly” seriously. A good publisher shouldn’t be just a business partner, but should be full of people you’d want to invite to dinner. Whether it be making a good joke or allaying your worries about being an author, kindness is our hallmark.

Once a book is written, the journey has only just begun. Because, there are still many steps involved in bringing the book to market, our job is to help make that process as easy, simple, and painless as possible for you, the author.

We help authors self-publish their books by providing the professional services needed to get books into book stores.

Services offered include: Editing, Cover Design, Print Layout, eBook Conversion, and Distribution.

The process is guided by a dedicated Account Manager, who’s goal is to produce the book the author envisioned.

First we will publish a select few books each year.

Finally we offer support to authors wishing to self-publish, to ensure the books are as strong as published works – we do the work for you.

We offer a variety of packages to authors including structural editing, copy editing, typesetting (print and ebook) and proofreading – whatever your book needs to be produced at the best quality. We have a network of highly experienced freelancers, so we can find the right editors for your book.

Project Bestseller is about creating bestsellers. More importantly, it’s about building author platforms and long-term success. We’re building books that sell well over time, generate income for their authors, and create a lasting impact for their readers.

How? The surface answer to this question is:
– crafting each book for maximum appeal to readers
– editing, design, and production with quality to match or exceed traditional publishers
– building an author platform to build loyalty and reach
– optimizing marketing elements such as keywords, categories, and sales copy
– leveraging promotion and advertising to generate sales at a profit

A deeper answer is: with strategy, curiosity, and intense passion.

Why? We believe good books should sell. If you’re like most of our clients, you have a big vision for your book. It represents you. It says something about who you are. Now you’re ready for it to start touching lives.

You can probably think of half a dozen books that have become part of the grain of your life, because they gave you exactly what you needed at the time—whether it was a feeling, an experience, a different perspective, or just the information you needed to unlock your next possibility.

Now it’s your turn. We can help you impact your readers with your book. It’s what we do.

Our managing editor is Clark Chamberlain, host of the international podcast the Book Editor Show. He is a story expert dedicated to producing high quality work that will sell for decades to come.

When we bring a new creative into our team, be it writer, artist, editor or marketer, we do so with our core values and not what this creative individual represents to our pocketbook. Indeed we aim always to be financially successful with each project, but no financial success can replace lost integrity. And the bottom line is, if people just care about a paycheck then they don’t care about the creative work.

You are an important member of the creative community, and there is a good chance that up until this point you have been going it alone. Writing and publishing shouldn’t be a solitary endeavor.

eBooks have many benefits over their paper bound competitors. They are more affordable and better for the environment by cutting down on shipping products and paper usage. They take up far less space and are more portable, imagine taking your entire library with you on a trip, and having it weigh less than one pound. eBooks are instantly available, once the reader commits to buying an eBook, they will have access to their purchase within seconds after they submit their order online.

Then he discovered self publishing and the endless opportunities it presented. However, such a venture requires countless hours of research of printers, proofreaders, artists, etc. And after publication, even more time is consumed trying to market the book.

So, Virtualbookworm.com was established as a “clearinghouse” for authors, since it offers virtually everything under one roof. Although we now charge setup and design fees, those costs are kept to a minimum so as to cover all expenses. And, as with “traditional” publishers, we carefully review each manuscript and only offer contracts to authors who truly have exceptional manuscripts. We don’t print garbage, and we want our authors to proudly say they were published by Virtualbookworm. If we accept your book for publication, you can rest assured that it will be sold next to other quality books, and not just work that had enough money behind it. And, you’ll receive some of the best royalties in the business!

We learned that authors need more. Authors need a strong platform, strategic marketing, top-notch editing, award-winning book design, and a creative team dedicated to helping you succeed beyond the book.
