I'm currently writing a book due out in September. Unlike my previous book, where I had a traditional publisher who took care of everything (financially and otherwise) but left me a minuscule royalty on my books that sold, I went a different route this time. I hired a "Book Shepherd".
Follow me on this because I'm going to get to the tie in with real estate in just a moment. My "shepherd" acted as my editor and manager of the process. I paid him by the hour to edit my manuscript and then guide me as to what needed to be done. While I am publishing my book myself, I am certainly not doing this by myself. My shepherd has provided excellent recommendations for an interior designer and cover designer. He has advised me where to get my ISBN numbers. I have paid for each of these experts as they provide the service and am getting great results because I each of these experts (including my book shepherd) were compensated very well for their time and talents.
When the book is published, I will only pay for the costs to print them. The difference between the printing costs and the jacket price goes into my pocket.
