Book Binge Publishing

My normal job is in logistics and I think everything out in Lean Six Sigma and Kaizen. When I went in with my business plan (supposed to be 5 years) I provided them with 15 years.

We have hired, paid staff that I feel are excellent. We are choosing to use some interns in order to hire and develop the best.

Our manuscripts go through 3 rounds of edits, each with a fresh editor. I haven't seen one publisher that does that as of yet. Plus at least 2 additional rounds of proofreading.

We, as most every other publisher for legal reasons, do not explain the amount of promotion that we do and most ask for a marketing plan from the author prior to offering a contract to see if the author will properly market the book they sign. We already have a marketing team in place. We make no promises as some will be wanted and seen out of the gate, while others will take more time. Some promotions: Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, Instagram, Pinterest, SnapChat, Tumblr, StumbleUpon, Press Releases, LinkedIn, Book Reviews, Cover Reveals.

The 5 year contract is with hopes that we, at least, get our initial investment back. Book covers are $200 to $1200 each. Editing is $500 to $3000 depending on length. The lowest price I've seen on a proofreader is $100. We don't plan on going anywhere and hope that once the 5 year contract is close to expiration, that all of our authors wish to re-sign with us (shorter term for round 2). If, for any reason the company were to dissolve - authors do get all rights back, a cover and promotional graphics we have picked up cost on, as well as a fully edited manuscript.

As for the blog, it was a personal decision as they are very easy to use, design, and update/sort. I work 70 hour weeks (2pm to anywhere from 3am to 6am plus drive time 6 days a week). I would rather have something I enjoy looking at over many of the bland websites I see and have difficulty finding what I am looking for on. Also, this is additional money invested into YTP authors over a website that doesn't promise a book sale.
