About Biographical
Publishing Company
(BPC).
Biographical Publishing was founded in 1991. We at BPC are dedicated
to providing ways for writers to get their works published . . . easily and
quickly. We offer a unique approach
which allows authors to control the entire production and marketing of their
work. Plus . . . authors can reap the maximum profit from the sale
of their books.
Most book publishers generally fall into two categories:
-
Vanity - Publisher really only prints your book. The author is left
with finding ways to market the book. The author bears all the cost of printing
and marketing. The author receives all of the profits (or losses) after expenses
. . . if the book ever makes it to the marketplace.
-
Royalty - The publisher bears the cost of printing and marketing.
The author receives a royalty (usually small) for books sold. The publisher
receives most of the profits (or losses) after expenses. Royalty publishers
are very selective as to the books and authors they will accept.
-
 Biographical
Publishing works this way:
-
BPC does book layout and design, proof reading, assigns ISBN, arranges for
printing of books, provides promotional services and offers advice on all
aspect of book creation. BPC can help promote your book through its
extensive network of wholesaler, distributors, and major bookstore chains
including: Baker & Taylor, Amazon.com, Borders/Waldenbooks, Barnes & Noble, and more.
-
BPC does not pay on a royalty basis. We charge on a service basis - as few
or as many services as you want.
-
The author pays for the printing of books at cost. BPC recommends low cost,
high quality printers and will arrange for books
to be printed.
-
The author can inventory books, or we can perform this service.
-
The author receives all of the profits (or losses) after expenses.
-
BPC offers a complete library of books to help you in publishing your book
through our association with Amazon.com. Some books will help you be
a better writer. Others will help you to
get published. And there are books geared
to entrepreneurs who would like to self-publish their
work.
-
BPC accepts all books for publication which meet its standards for
quality and decency.
-
Not for everyone.
BPC puts the author in control of all aspects of his or her work - from design
to distribution. But our unique method of operation is not suited for everyone.
In order to be successful, the author must have sufficient financial resources
to pay for the initial production and marketing of books. If the author
is able to provide this investment, then the potential for success is high.
