Good evening everyone. If you wouldn't mind I would like to pick your brains for a few moments. I am currently releasing my third book through Booksurge and have been less than thrilled with the service I've had all along but figured I would stay with them rather than have to search for someone else to publish these books. Because they are entertainment based I was turned down by countless traditional houses (they claim there's no market for television based books). I own an Entertainment Publicity firm that deals with several television personalities and fan groups along with authors who have also had to use a vanity press to get their books out (and they're selling very nicely) so I know there is a market despite the popular opinion of the publishing houses.
Which brings me to the reason for this message and this will probably be the first time that authors have been asked for their input before anything is put together. My company has been in operation for over ten years and I've decided that I would like to add a publishing division for authors who write material that is somehow entertainment related. It wouldn't matter if the book were based on television, film, music, personalities or a guide to break into the business. If it's entertainment based I'll take a look at it. After reading all of the material that I have so far I've noticed that many of you have specifics that you've been wanting in a vanity or PoD publisher. So here's the question: What are the main items you would want to see a PoD or Vanity Press offer and what do you consider fair and competitive pricing for those services?
If you would please either answer in this forum or e-mail me at [email protected] I would appreciate it. Thank you for your time and assistance. I look forward to hearing from you.
All the best,
