WHAT'S THE MOST COSTLY MISTAKE AN AUTHOR CAN MAKE?

Launching a book major retailers won't carry because it wasn't produced by a reputable publisher.

 

For marketplace access and performance, there is no substitute for the professional production and distribution provided by full-service publishing houses. With so many companies misleading authors by offering cheaper or faster book production, self-publishing and budget publishing have become synonymous with low quality standards, poor cover design, and embarrassing copy errors. Unfortunately, most authors are unaware of these systemic problems, and don't know these hidden costs of self-publishing will directly curtail their sales. That's why BBPG developed specialized solutions to fix books for previously self-published authors.

J.N. Whiddon & Lance Alston

WEALTH WITHOUT WORRY

After BBPG rebooted Wealth Without Worry, the relaunch helped drive over 1,000 percent growth in Whiddon's company—and led to an additional publishing deal with McGraw Hill. However, Whiddon came back to BBPG for his next book, because the profitability of our business model outperformed the royalties he earned with the 'Big 5' publisher. Whiddon and his co-author have now been an active part of the BBPG family for more than a decade, and the diverse titles they've published with us have garnered praise from the Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times, INC. Magazine, and many more.

Jeff Crilley

FREE PUBLICITY

Emmy-winner Jeff Crilley arrived at BBPG after his self-published book hadn't performed as well as he'd anticipated. With excellent content, but a less-than-professional production quality, we knew his title was an ideal candidate for a reboot. What we didn't know was that the refreshed edition of Free Publicity would ultimately exceed all our projections with more than 120,000 copies in print to date.

SO, HOW DO YOU PICK THE RIGHT PUBLISHER?

It's easy to avoid a costly mistake. Just use this simple checklist to source a reputable publisher.

Reputable publishers don’t engage in advertising because their focus is developing and selling successful books—not selling their company’s services.

1

Many self-publishing companies claim to provide this service. But to deliver legitimate, full-service distribution, a publisher should have a fulfillment platform and a sales force representing their titles to wholesale buyers and pursuing shelf placements.

2

A company that accepts all manuscripts for publication without a selection process is a printer, not a publishing house offering professional services.
