Why Pay For Publishing?

The answer is no. While traditional publishers pay authors, the author must sign over all rights to their book, and there is no guaranteed timeframe on if or when the book will be published and released to the public. If the book ever sells, the royalty percentage to the author is usually very low. With independent publishing, authors retain all rights to their book, and the more the book is promoted and sold, the more the author benefits through royalty compensation.

Because LifeVest Publishing offers complete book order processing and fulfillment to its author’s customers through an easy click of the mouse or toll-free call, the author is then free to expend time with book signings, library appearances and other promotional events. In the end the author not only receives the satisfaction that comes from becoming a published author, but they also have the pleasure of watching their book sales increase over time. Independent publishing creates a partnership between the author and the publisher where everyone can succeed, not just the publisher!
