There are a lot of companies that assist authors in preparing manuscripts for publication that rivals the quality of any major book publisher. These companies also help distribute your book to bookstores and will assist you in selling your book on their subsites, much like Amazon KDP. – BE WARNED! There are many companies out there that appear to be legitimate but are actually scams! They will steal ownership of your book, including most, if not all, of its profits.

Here is a list of 17 publishing companies that have good reputations: The 17 BEST Self-Publishing Companies of 2021.

How do book promotion companies work?

When using a book promotion company’s service, either you will pay that company a percentage per book sold, or you pay a minimal fee to reserve an advertising slot with them. This slot might be on their website, newsletter, or both. Some companies will even advertise your book in social media posts to their Facebook page and more. By advertising this way, you will tap into an entirely new reader audience simply by utilizing that company’s email list.

Are book promotion sites worth it?

Our short answer… YES! We have found that promoting your book with one of these services can be highly effective and launch your title to success.

Should You Pay for Self-Publishing Services? There are several Publishing houses that will publish your book and take care of such services as these and more for a hefty price, which often includes a percentage of every book sold. — (One you might look at is Ingram (https://www.ingramcontent.com/publishers/publisher-services). – This is a sample of the services offered by such book publishing, distribution and marketing companies.

About The Author
Mark Baird

Hello, I'm Mark Baird and I founded Hire Patriots. My wife and I are 'helpers.' We are concerned about meeting the practical needs of our US veterans and their families. We began a job board for local residents to post chores that they need help with. It has been very successful. Thousands of local US Military and veterans partially or entirely support themselves from our website. We are looking for others near US Military bases who would also like to have a HirePatriots.com website for their location. Find more information about our military programs at PatrioticHearts.org. And please make a contribution of any kind. Thank you.
