|
|||
|
With Beaver's Pond Press, you receive all the professional help you need and all the control you want. |
|
Royalty publishers control your book from start to finish. |
||
|
You control your book You are always in control. You have the final word on your book. |
1 |
They control Once you sign that contract, even before you cash the advance, you sign away your rights and submit to all the publisher's decisions and policies. You seldom are allowed past their gatekeeper. |
||
|
You control profits Many of your books will be sold directly by you to the reader. Those sales net you 100% of the selling price right on the spot. As long as you believe your books will sell and have books to sell, your income continues; it never stops until you decide to discontinue its sale. |
2 |
They control Publishers, for the most part, only sell their books through bookstores. After deductions for various trade discounts and returned books and payback of your advance, you'll receive net money equal to no more than 5%-10% of what's left. When sales drop off to some volume the publisher decides is too low, the book goes out of print and your income stops. |
||
|
You decide when to publish No one else is standing in the way. You can publish right now if your manuscript is finished and edited. Are there any good reasons not to publish your book right now without waiting a minute more? |
3 |
They control Unless you are a celebrity, or have a very aggressive agent, plan on waiting and wasting months or years searching for a publisher. Ask the local author of "Term Limits" what he went through. He gave up. He successfully self-published. He became a celebrity. Now they're knocking down his door. |
||
|
You cut publishing time in half In as short a time as 12 weeks, you can have a beautiful, professional-looking book designed and published from manuscript to book in hand. You do not sacrifice workmanship in materials or appearance. Need more time? Take it! You are in control! |
4 |
They control For total elapsed time with a publisher, combine the many months of searching, then add an additional 6-18 months of working within their typically slow-paced time schedule. It can be more than a year before your book is ready. |
||
|
You make a better return faster. You've invested a lot of time in your book and will be able to begin selling as soon as it's off the press. You optimize income on every direct sale to your readers. |
5 |
They control The money you may save by finding a publisher to pick up the tab is quickly offset by the loss of more immediate publishing income you could earn during the time spent waiting on the publisher's slow-paced schedule. |
||
|
We help you publish a better book Our standards are higher than most independent publishers' because we take your financial interests to heart. Other publishers publish books we reject because they don't take the authors through a marketing analysis. If we don't think your book is ready, we'll tell you. |
6 |
They control You are competing with thousands of want-to-be authors. Thanks to mega mergers, the title acquisition dollars for buying titles continues to shrink as more and more traditional publishing houses disappear. |
||
|
We provide mentoring, coaching, and instruction as needed You don't have to be as skilled and polished a writer as you might think, since editors are available to polish your words. Because the editor "works" for you, the "you" of the book remains, while the quality of your writing takes on a glow. |
7 |
They control If you are not a celebrity or a competent and proven writer with a thick portfolio of published works, go to the back of the line and continue biding your time competing with the multitudes for those limited and shrinking title acquisition dollars. |
||
|
You can publish the book you want to publish It's okay if your book's subject matter has a narrow or limited market appeal. If your content is important to even a small audience and your writing is good, you may change the life of that person who buys a single copy, as well as your own. |
8 |
They control Everything in traditional publishing depends on big bottom-line numbers, but picking winners is often guesswork. Unknown and untested writers have little chance of being chosen as publishers cut their risks by relying on known, tried, and proven money makers. |
||
|
The book is yours You and your book are one. You share all the book's success and glory and financial rewards with no one else (not even Beaver's Pond Press). You get it all. It's your dream come true. |
9 |
They control You wrote it and your name is on the cover. That will always be yours. But that is about all that is yours. Remember it's their money. Therefore, it's their book. What's left for you is a portion of the net. |
||
|
We give you flexibility If you want, you can change the book's content at any time, for any reason whatsoever, right up to publishing time if you wish. You can also change it every time you reprint more copies, too, at low cost. |
10 |
They control Before the publisher will spend a dime on a change, you will have to convince the publisher beyond any doubt that the changes you want to make to the book will sell more books. It's their book, remember?
