Who owns the copyright?
You do.

Do you publish all books that come to you?
No, we are very selective, working only on books we feel have a good chance of success. 

Will my book be sold in all stores?
Your book will be available to order in all stores that sell books. We post your eBook to Amazon for Kindle and your audiobook to Amazon for ACX. Yes, there are other platforms, but we haven’t found them to be sales beneficial. 

How many books will I sell?
Because they aren’t properly promoted, 90 percent of books published in the United States sell fewer than 100 copies. We will work with you to create your best book; we will create Bright Communications Publishing Tools for your book to help you sell your book; and we will provide you with valuable connections to one of our Launch Partners, who will help you to accelerate your sales. 

How much money will I make?
It depends upon where the books are sold:

 

• • If you sell a book personally to a friend or at an event, you can charge the cover price.

• • If a book sells to a store, library, or website, you are paid a percentage of the cover price.

How do I get paid?
We help you to set up accounts with Amazon or Ingram Spark to sell your print, eBook, and audiobook. Amazon or Ingram Spark sends your payments directly to your bank. Your book will also be also available to order at stores nationwide.

How do you promote the book?
No matter whether you publish with us, a traditional publisher, or self-publish, promotion is the responsibility of the author. We create Bright Communications Publishing Tools for you to use. We can connect you with our Launch Partners, whom you can hire to help you to accelerate your sales, usually a few months before and/or a few months after your book releases.
