Our special sauce is that after our publishing fee or fees for any a la carte services that you purchased from us, you keep 100% of your rights and royalties. So you are absolutely 100% in charge of your own Amazon dashboard, your own Ingram accounts, etc. We can educate and instruct you in marketing, placement, distribution, and all the other fun stuff.Right now, our goal is to create commercially viable books with the look and feel of an industry standard piece of literature. We are building our catalog to 50 titles to become part of Ingram Content Group, which will make book distribution possible to the big name bookstores (Barnes & Noble, Books A Million). We specialize in supporting independent authors at the highest standard of excellence.
