A Brief Explanation of What We Do
Traditional publishers often overlook or dismiss many books that merit attention… that deserve publication. And that is understandable because of the economics of their business model.
Unlike most traditional publishers, we do not limit our interests to only those books written by famous, proven bestselling authors, celebrities, orhot-fad titles, hot-buzz debuts with a large, established audience and market. We have titles and authors that sell well commercially, and others that fulfill our authors’ and clients’ personal, professional, or business objectives but sell at lower retail volume. We also have titles that sell very well to organizations (which would qualify them as ‘bestsellers’ on the bestseller lists). So, a book does not need to fall into a ‘guaranteed’ bestseller category before we consider it for publication. We have the capabilities of any traditional publisher to bring stories from the manuscript stage to a finished book (available in all formats).
BOOK DESIGN, PRINTING & DISTRIBUTION FOR COMMERCIAL OR PRIVATE PUBLICATION
WE DO NOT ACCEPT UNSOLICITED MANUSCRIPTS
Unless it is requested by Dennis Lowery, do not send us your manuscript. Unsolicited manuscripts will be discarded unread.
Solicited manuscripts (those we request) must be accompanied by a synopsis. We don’t accept all stories and manuscripts submitted for consideration. Each prospective author/client’s work requires our manuscript review and approval.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Before entering into a publishing services agreement, we’ll assess the manuscript to determine what editing and work are required to make it acceptable for publication. Our author clients can retain a professional editor of their choice to edit their manuscript before submission to us, or we can provide a full suite of editing services (including rewriting and developmental editing of drafts) to make their manuscript ready for publication consideration. We provide our author/clients with a detailed pricing proposal for all stages of their publishing project.
OVERVIEW
Because of our business model (with Print-on-Demand and Distribution capabilities), we can take on titles many publishers won’t consider. That does not mean we’ll publish any book. We use quality and content standards to determine whom we work with and which projects we undertake.
That being said, we also have the capability of traditional publishers and can print titles in large quantities, warehouse them, and distribute them. Printing in large quantities does drive down the production cost per copy, but it is only feasible for proven, high-volume, consistently in-demand title(s).
We can also create and produce custom or special editions with enhancements such as cover/dust-jacket embossing, illustrated interior endsheets for hardbacks, and other artistic elements.
