Top 7 Things You Must Know About Full-Service Self Publishing

1. You keep 100% of your rights

The intellectual property and copyright of your book is very valuable. You should always retain all your rights.

2. You keep 100% of your royalties

Make more money by setting your own pricing! Only one self-publisher lets you set your own retail price, author discount, and Price Plan. You receive 100% of your author royalties. The higher you set your retail price, the higher your profit. And guess what? You set your wholesale price, too. You are in complete control!

3. You receive unlimited wholesale and retail availability

Your book can be available for order through online retail sales channels like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Borders, and more. Plus, with distribution-on-demand your book can be available for order from just about anywhere that sells books. This means you receive unlimited wholesale distribution through Ingram, Baker & Taylor, and more, without any out-of-pocket printing costs for you.

4. Additional marketing support and services are available

Wouldn't it be wonderful if marketing a book was as easy as publishing one? Now it is! A comprehensive suite of optional marketing services, promotional materials, and publicity products are the answer to your book marketing needs. Only one self-publisher offers the exclusive Marketing COACH, delivering Creative Online Assistance, Coaching, and Help via email to Diamond and Pearl authors for 2 years after publication. No other publisher offers anything like it!

5. Publishing imprint and ISBN flexibility

Do you want the ultimate in self-publishing flexibility? Almost all self-publishers include unique ISBNs, which are required for wholesale and retail sales. However, if you prefer to submit your own ISBN and publish under your own publishing imprint, only a small number of R.R. Bowker partners can accommodate those needs, too. In either case, you keep 100% of the rights to your work.

6. High-quality book design

Imagine a full-service self-publishing process where quality book design is included. Your dreams can be a reality. Depending upon the type of book you are publishing, full-service self publishing designers will format the interior according to industry best practices for a high-quality presentation that prevents your book from screaming "self-published!"

And the covers? Wow! When they say a picture is worth a thousand words, they weren't kidding.

7. Complete print-run flexibility (1 to 1000s)

With unlimited wholesale availability, printing, and fulfillment, all wholesale orders that come directly from sales channels like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or Ingram, etc, can be handled behind the scenes, without heavy lifting by the author. When a full-service self publishing company receives a wholesale or retail order directly, they will print the book, send it to the customer, and then record your royalty. You never have to order any books unless you want to.
