Stature for Your Success

If you want to be seen as a thought leader in your field—a person of outstanding authority whose observations are accorded instant respect, whose pieces of advice are almost treated as commands—then you need to make it clearly known. And one of the most powerful ways to achieve this rare stature is through book authorship. Bottom line: people have to know you’re there. And your book is the way to do it.

All we need from you is your idea and the same passion you bring to everything you do. Most importantly, your book is YOUR story, and we like it that way. As the author, you retain 100% of the rights to your work and your intellectual property.

The Author-Centered Difference

Top leaders know that branding is not a luxury, it’s a necessity. Becoming an authority means that you and your brand are synonymous with trust and confidence. And your growing brand equity translates to greater pricing power and the ability to reduce marketing costs. The single greatest accelerator for increasing your authority starts with authorship. However, the true power of publishing your book is only realized with a proven media strategy that leverages your status as an author and places you in a category of one with your growing audience.
