What we will do for you:

 

• Determine the marketability of your book.
• Assist you in organizing your memoirs into definable chapters.
• Edit your manuscript and make suggestions on form and sequence.
• Layout and design your completed manuscript.
• Assign your book a unique ISBN and barcode.
• Print your completed manuscript.
• List your book with the appropriate venues and Books in Print.
• List your book on our websites.
• Assist you in the creation and maintenance of an author’s blog.
• Showcase your book at various conferences and lectures that we participate in around the country.

 

What do we get for all of this?

 

• We take 60% of all royalties from the sale of your book. This is far below the standard publishing contract, which is usually 70/30 (rarely) or 80/20 (more likely).
• You retain all rights to your manuscript but must sign a contract giving us exclusive right of sale for one year. This means that you cannot sell your book through another publisher for that period of time.
• What it comes down to is this – if your book does not sell, we don’t make money either. So, you can rest assured that we are going to do all that we can to send as many of your books out into reader’s hands as possible.

 

Ready to get started?

 

• Send us a short synopsis of your memoir or autobiography (a paragraph or two will suffice). If you haven’t yet completed a timeline, please do so now – you will need it for future reference. You don’t have to send us your timeline.
• Send us at least 10 pages of your work. Please use 12-point font and double-space. You may send this as an MS Word attachment or in Rich Text Format.
• Include with your submission a short bio telling us who you are.
• We accept submissions via email or snail mail.
