Why Cooperative Publishing?Unless you’ve already penned a New York Times bestseller, chances are the big national publishing houses aren’t beating down your door for a chance to publish your next book. The typical publishing house only prints a fraction of the manuscripts they receive each year. But what about self-publishing? This entails taking full responsibility for marketing and distributing your title. Did you know that the biggest book wholesalers do not purchase direct from authors, so you are dependent upon your own direct marketing to sell your book? Many book fairs and even independent bookstores will not purchase self-published books for resale to the public. And you’ll be disqualified from many literary awards as a self-published title. That’s where we come in. With over 20 years in the publishing industry, we know the key players in all areas of the publishing process. We already have relationships with quality print-on-demand companies and also with retailers and distributors for major bookstores as well as many independent booksellers. By publishing your book using print-on-demand technology, we don’t have the costs associated with keeping a warehouse full of books until they sell. We print what we need when we need it. While we don’t accept every manuscript that is submitted to us, we do publish a wide array of titles, so submit your work to us and we’ll see if it is a good fit for our cooperative publishing model.
