Self Publishing Frequently Asked Questions

What is independent publishing? What are the advantages of independent book publishing?

Since its inception, independent voices with a story to tell have been the driving force in the publishing industry. At AuthorHouse we’ve created an AuthorCentric independent publishing process designed to help you achieve your unique publishing goals on your own terms.

 

As today’s media conglomerates continue to buy traditional publishing houses, these companies reject 98% of all unsolicited manuscripts. The only “problem” with these manuscripts is they cannot guarantee a large profit margin. When manuscripts are accepted by these large houses, the content is edited to fit within the publisher’s vision and the production process can take over a year before a title is actually available for sale.

 

AuthorHouse offers you the ability to independently publish your book without having to make concessions to a large publishing house. Independent publishing allows you greater editorial freedom and the ability to follow your unique vision for the project. Throughout our AuthorCentric publishing process, you collaborate with AuthorHouse author advocates to ensure your vision is translated into a custom-designed book that can be on the market in a matter of weeks.

 

You’ll begin the process with an in-depth conversation with an author advocate to discuss your project goals and then choose the services that align with your goals. From copyediting to promotional press releases, you have the flexibility to create a custom project plan for the submission, production and promotion of your book.
