Why Publish With Us?

Let’s face it. There’s a plethora of publishing companies to choose from. Anything from self-publishing services, DIY publishers, vanity presses, subsidy publishers, vanity publishers, hybrid publishers, niche publishers to the “Big Five” trade book publishing companies. Each and everyone of those choices is a good choice for some people and horrible choices for others.

If you want to publish a couple dozen books and sell or give away to your family and friends, DIY publishing is an option and perhaps the only option for you.  If you were to show-up with your manuscript at a trade publishing company, they would probably gently walk you out of their building. You see, the big trade book companies will likely not give the time of day to a new and/or unknown author.

One of the advantages of a self-published book is that it will be in your hand in no time and you will be able to call yourself an author. And indeed you are. Vanity publishers on the other hand, will produce your book for a fee. Also referred to as pay-per-play, you are their customer and they will serve you for a price. They will generally provide you with good information, lousy distribution and some control over the final look of your book. The issue with both self-publishing and vanity publishing is that they come with the stigma associated to them. As such, big box retailers will not have a space for you. Trade publishing companies will not guarantee that your book is going to occupy the big retailer’s shelves either. However, they work mega productions, deep budgets and the widest distribution. Although, you will have no control over the look and feel of your book,  there will also be no guarantees that your book will ever actually be published. If you are lucky enough to be picked up amongst millions of other authors, they will pay you a royalty of a few pennies for each book sold and unless you sell millions of books, forget about making a profit. Trade publishers are great options if you are a celebrity with an already established name recognition.

Trade publishers have been doing this type of work for many centuries. Self publishing and vanity publishers have always existed but with the advent of digital printing, they are now saturating the market with too many undesirable books. Self-publishing and vanity publishing authors are being ignored everyday as the stigma becomes generalized.
