Are you a writer or have a book you would like to publish, BUT the hassle of self-publishing has you a little overwhelmed?
I completely understand! I self-published 3 best-selling books in the last 5 years, but they were ALL a labor of love. - Finding editors for hire, who kept making errors or failing to adhere to my timelines - Working on distribution with all platforms (it's a headache at times) - Pricing (it can be a hit or miss) - Sourcing and vetting profitable testimonials (You don't want every testimonial on your book, trust me!) - Marketing campaigns And on and on.... The stress never ends and many simply give up! |
More importantly, selling books as a self-published author is a direct-to-consumer process, which can be time consuming from a royalty perspective. And book tours were already a major financial risk before Covid-19, but it's an even greater challenge now.
My team and I decided to stop selling my 3rd book on Amazon to focus solely on corporate bulk distribution, which took most of the effort out of the sales cycle, but it grew my demand exponentially -- over 200% growth in 2 years, by selling over 10,000 books to companies ALONE!
In mid 2019, I started working on book #4, and I was overwhelmed within the first page by just thinking of starting the process of self-publishing all over again. My business has grown significantly over the past 5 years, but I could not think of where I could find the time to search for an editor and work on a new distribution funnel.
Ughhhh!!!!
Then, I received an email from an editor, who expressed interest in publishing my next book. Before you ask, NO I did not pitch or communicate with a publishing house, or a literary agent. Their correspondence was directly as a way to add more literary works to their catalog that worked well for their core demographic.
The process took a little time to explore some sound ideas, but after a little work, they made me an offer ---- A LUCRATIVE MULTI-DEAL OFFER during a once in a lifetime pandemic in world history.
It only took one proposal!
On April 14th, 2020, I was sitting with my team and family while I signed my first MAJOR publishing offer a few days of negotiating!
And yes, they gave me a NICE advance for my next project, which will hit the market in late 2021/early 2022.
The best part about working with a publisher is most of the grueling tasks that are time consuming are handled in-house - from cover design, editing and a full marketing plan - it's all done!
