Stay In Total Control Of Your Own Brand.
We have received a lot of emails from authors who have been with Traditional Publishers and want to make the switch to Self-Publishing. Being in control of your own work has many advantages. You do not have to worry about publishing contracts (which can be a nightmare if you want to leave) or sharing your book royalties with a publisher.
We get a lot of emails from frustrated authors. Some of the complaints are about publishers who have died or closed their services. We also get complaints from authors who their publisher sold their company and the author is unhappy with the new publisher.
We hear nightmare stores about publishing contracts and the hassle and high cost of pulling out of a contract.
Below are two trusted sources for self-publishing with NO CONTRACTS. Beware of publishers posing as Self-Publishing Platforms and yet have long, complicated contracts, with heavy fees to join and to leave.
