SPONSORED CONTENT: Coming Soon to a Bookstore Near You
Authors with larger followings are beginning to replace traditional publishers, working with a digital print provider for production and dealing directly with book distributors and sellers. The BradyBrady series, a successful children’s series in Canada is entirely self-published and poised for expansion to the U.S. and even international markets. The book is produced digitally and printed--often with custom covers--based on demand. Jay Conrad Levinson, author of the successful Guerilla Marketing series also shifted to self publishing and digital printing. In each case, and others like them, the margin that once went to the publisher now increases the bank accounts of the authors.
