The Publishing World

Introduction: We created our company to work one-on-one with authors to make excellent books with an eye on contemporary (and future) publishing and distribution practices. We are long-time publishing professionals who run independent presses, making books with national distribution. Our decision to launch The Publishing World grew from a belief that we can work with authors in the same fashion as a conventional publishing house (editing, design, sales & marketing, publicity, etc.), demonstrate our value to authors (without hidden costs and fees that occur with conventional publishing), and ensure that authors retain 100% of their rights and royalties. INDEPENDENT PUBLISHING We can help you publish independently, no matter what stage you’re at with your book. We can assist with the larger, structural editing right down to the copy edits. We can find you the right designer (print and ebook) and printer, and negotiate on your behalf. We also help arrange distribution, author websites, social media, reviews, publicity, and events. When you hear of the giant success stories of the rare independent writer whose book blows up, it’s because they hired people to compete with the big traditional publishers. TRADITIONAL PUBLISHING DEAL If you want to pursue a traditional publishing deal, we can help you write the best possible version of your book to convince an agent and/or publisher to jump on your book. We know a lot of people in the industry, and we can help you with your pitch and...managing the book deal. Writing a book is some of the most difficult - and rewarding - work a person can accomplish in a life-time. It's amazing to help people complete such a project and share it with the world.
