Dear Author,
Choosing a publisher for your book isn’t easy. Why? Because you’re bombarded with misleading advertising, confusing claims, and bad information from “lowest-priced” service providers and high-pressure salespeople.
It’s pretty crowded out there, too. By our estimate, there are more than 100 companies of various sizes competing to offer publishing services to authors in North America alone.
The once-proud publishing industry—formerly dedicated to bringing great books by great writers to eager readers—is flooded with fly-by-night “publishing” companies that sell shoddy editing, poor book design, and nearly-worthless book marketing services.
The proof is in the pudding, as they say: the marketplace is flooded with books of laughable quality. Readers have a harder and harder time discovering great new books and new authors have a harder and harder time breaking through the clutter and getting noticed.
How do you find a qualified, competent, and professional book publishing service? You start by reading this consumer guide.
Start by reading The Author’s Guide to Choosing a Publishing Service
The Author’s Guide to Choosing a Publishing Service is no ordinary author guide. Most of the author guides that publishing companies send out are merely sales brochures for their services. All they share is information about Publishing Package A, Package B, blah, blah, blah.
That’s not what this Author’s Guide is about at all! The Author’s Guide to Choosing a Publishing Service gives you the insider’s information you need to become a successful independent author. You’ll receive tips and proven strategies about effective book publishing that will help you sell more books and make more money from your book sales than ever before.
In this fact-filled book, you’ll discover:
- The 3 different kinds of publishing
- How to decide which method of publishing is right for you
- 4 misused terms to ignore when researching how to publish your book
- 5 costly misconceptions about publishing a book
- 9 critical mistakes to avoid when choosing a publishing service
… and much, much more!

Wheatmark does more for authors without a huge platform to guide their marketing efforts than traditional publishers.
