Author of Forging Ahead
Q: What is your favorite part of the work, process, or aftermath of publishing your book?
A: My favorite part of the process is telling a compelling, true story, writing in such a way that a topic that may sound mundane on the surface instead reads with heart and intrigue. I enjoy creative nonfiction because it is using the literary tools of fiction to write a true story.
We publish two ways.
Traditional Publishing
- This option is normally only for seasoned writers (with or without an agent) with superb work and a verifiable track record of sales and marketing success. The term traditional means that the author will not pay for any development costs or fees, and will typically be offered an advance payment on royalties.
Hybrid Publishing
- This option is best for emerging writers with high-quality work desiring a professional-level publishing experience. Writers accepted into our Emerging Author Program are positioned to land a traditional deal on subsequent books. Those best suited for this program are motivated and collaborative, and receive the same level of editing, creative development and marketing as our traditional authors.
