Who we are

Self-publishing is growing more and more in popularity. In recent years, 1/3 of all books have been self-published and even traditional publishing companies are admitting that within the next ten years, most authors will be turning to self-publishing. We are here to provide this service for you. Be sure to check out the Professor’s lounge on our homepage for a glimpse into the books of the future.

We are a staff of independent authors and editors who have been writing and editing on the professional level for over five years with experience in publishing, international speech writing and public speaking. We have offices in Nashville, Tennessee and Fyffe, Alabama. We’re interested in all genres, so if you’re unsure if your work is W&K material, just ask. “Don’t worry– we’ll take care of you.”

What makes us different

We teach our authors to never believe their material’s worth is based on the opinion of agents working for corporate companies who receive over 1,000 manuscripts a day. Most books you find on the shelves of stores are laughable anyway because agents work on commission and believed that their client had a market.

Too many companies correlate numbers with success. We correlate relationships and finished books with success. We provide you with personal counsel and a partnership where we work to make your vision a reality.

Most self-publishing companies who promise to send your books to distributors will send you a minimum of 10 copies of your book, hold the rest and require you to purchase all additional copies but at a 30% discount. Such publishing companies and distributors, if they sell any of your books, keep a large percentage of the sales, sometimes up to 90%.

The result is that you are not in control of how many copies you give away or sell to others and you are not rewarded with full royalties when you sell your books at conventions and conferences. We believe you should have as many copies as you want of your own book, earn 100% of the royalties from your personal sales, and decide where your book goes.

We believe in keeping it simple– after discussing the price for your book and working together to create your masterpiece, we send you as many copies of the book you want and you decide how much to charge your customers. If we charge you $3 per copy and you sell your book for $15, then you’ve made $12. And we’re proud of you. We can always print more copies when needed and you get to keep all the rights to your work. Therefore, if an agent from a mainstream publisher contacts you, you have the freedom to republish your work under their company title without violating our contract.

In traditional publishing companies, if they decide to stop printing your book, you must purchase back the rights of your own work in order to sell it to another company. We think that’s ridiculous.

With us, your book never goes out of print, and along with our counsel, you are always in control of your book’s design, publicity, production, you decide it’s price, where it goes, who reads it and you earn 100% royalties on all books other than the ones you want us to sell for you in our bookstore as well as our booth displayed at conferences and conventions.

What we offer

At your request, we will sell your books on Barnes and Noble Online bookstore, Ingram and Baker and Taylor book distributors, Amazon, AmazonKindle, Abebooks and Half.com.

Free marketing of your book on our bookstore page for the first year. After the first year, we charge $5 a month (or $50 a year).

If you would like to advertise your book on our homepage but sell the book yourself so that you may keep 100% of the royalties, we can provide a link to your personal web page or a link to a book order form with your mailing address so that people can order the books directly from you. (Sorry, we will not provide or build a web-page for you, but we would be glad to recommend a web-site host.)

Round-the-clock availability.

Counseling with our editors, our graphic designers and a personal representative to assist you through your publication process.

We keep your manuscript on file so we can re-print it for you upon your request at any time– even years after it’s first printing (print-on-demand).

We print black and white or full-color books and both paperback and hardback books with dust jackets.

We provide ISBN numbers and EAN barcodes at your request along with registration at The Library of Congress, Books in Print database, and US Copyright so no one can steal your work. (US Copyright office registration provides full protection for your lifetime plus 50 years. Notice of your copyright is sent to you some six months to a year following the completion of your publication process. The Library of Congress is used by the central library to keep record of their permanent collection. A card catalog number will be assigned to your work.)

We can provide you with a CD at your request that contains your completed manuscript in both Microsoft Word and PDF Adobe Acrobat format. Along with these files includes a high resolution Adobe Acrobat PDF copy of your book cover. This way, as years pass, you will always have both an original hard copy and a reusable file copy for revisions.

We are partners with a DVD and audio production company, a full-color and black-and-white printing company and a world Christian media ministry.

We publish and ship internationally.
