About Independent Publishing Assistance
"Our hearts and souls are in the books we produce." Jessica Bell
By hiring a team of experienced and successful publishing professionals through Independent Publishing Assistance, your book is going to have the best chance of survival in today's saturated market. With a professionally produced quality product, your book will not only hold its own alongside its traditionally published competitors, but it will be your first real stepping stone into launching your career as an independent author, sustaining your business, and gaining the trust of your readers.
We want to help you shine the way you deserve to shine.
Combined, our team of thirty publishing experts have over 300 years of publishing experience from the 21st century. That's a helluvalotta modern-day publishing expertise. And the best part about us is ... we're all authors too. This means we 'get' you.
The core members of our team are hybrid authors. This means that we know all about traditional publishing and self-publishing and we are advocates of both. Some members of our team are published by Simon & Schuster, Zondervan, Pen and Sword, and Hodder. But we believe there is no taking sides in this business. We are all authors no matter what. Let's support all publishing paths.
