Publishing Programs

Our Independent Publishing Model

Independent publishing offers a customizable, flexible alternative to traditional publishing, putting you in the driver’s seat. From rights to your book to creative control, Entrepreneur Books authors control their own narrative while benefitting from dedicated support of our publishing and media experts.

 

What is the Independent Publishing Model?

Your book represents your story and hard-earned insights, yet not all publishing models give you full creative or legal control of your work. As an Entrepreneur Books author, you retain 100% of the rights to your work and your intellectual property—unlike traditional publishing agreements.

Our authors are successful entrepreneurs, business owners, and thought leaders. Our ghostwriting matching services allow you to tell your story without even picking up a pen. As your partner, we bring your vision to life with a compelling cover design and distribute your book to over 25,000 online and offline retailers.

Additionally, we pair our publishing offerings with media services to amplify your message at an even greater scale. While traditional publishers can offer promotional services, they get to decide which authors receive this support and how much they receive. Our independent service allows you to customize your journey and for further, faster.
