One author in San Diego submitted his book to 238 publishers over 18 months before he finally got accepted. That's a year-and-a-half of lost revenue and data matter that was out of date and replicated by scores of others. Lost time in the publishing industry is lost revenue.

An associate of mine wrote a book on verbally abusive relationships of which I provided a communications technique for one of her chapters. When her publicist booked her on the Oprah Show it was her entry into the the best seller's club. There are 150,000 books published in the United States every year and only 1% sell more than 5,000 books. That is the designation of the best sellers club. 

My first book was released in 2007 I sell about 1,000 books a year only while speaking. Patricia Evans has sold about 400,000 of her verbally abusive series of books. She makes 36 cents per book. That's $144,000 over 17 years compared to my $17 profit per book or $127,500 over 7 1/2 years. Patricia also gets fees upfront from the publisher and it's usually around $10,000. She has 7 books so that's about $70,000 in advances plus her $144,000 which is $214,000 divided by 17 years is $12,588 a year.

Patricia has to do her own marketing, book speaking and interview engagements.

I met an author in San Francisco a couple of weeks ago who spent years researching and interviewing peace makers around the world. His publisher is being less than cooperative and as hard as he works, the author has not been able to make enough money to survive. 

creative impressions press will give authors more control over their intellectual property and provide them with the income they deserve.
