About Us
Our Why

Author-Assisted Publishing vs. Traditional Publishing
Author Assisted Publishing
This model is ideal for authors seeking more control over
the publishing process and higher royalties. Unlike self-publishing or vanity presses, our Author Assisted Publishing model offers the same
professional services and support as traditional publishing. This includes
editing, design, marketing, and distribution, ensuring that your book reaches a wide audience without the stigma often associated with self-published titles.
Traditional Publishing
Our traditional publishing option is best suited for authors
who already have a significant platform, such as social media influencers, celebrities, or those with a proven track record in their field. In this model, we finance all aspects of the publishing process from start to finish, including marketing and distribution. This option involves higher royalty
shares due to the increased investment from our side.
