Biographical Publishing Company Partners with Pathway Book Service to Expand Marketing

Dec. 9, 2012 - PRLog -- Biographical Publishing Company (BPC) is a family-run business that prides itself on personal service. Authors can always count of prompt and thoughtful answers to any questions they may have about the publishing process.

BPC does not accept books on a royalty basis. Rather, they provide services to get books published and to help market and sell them. The author must pay the costs of these services and of printing books -- but the author will also receive all of the profits from the sale of books after expenses -- not just a royalty payment. It is a system that is not suited to everyone, but may be ideal for some authors.

BPC typically markets books to these major markets: Books in Print (resource for many booksellers), Ingram Book Company (the largest book wholesaler), Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Baker & Taylor (library/bookstore wholesaler), and Canadian booksellers Chapters and Indigo. BPC may also select other booksellers based on the subject matter of a particular book.

The whole publishing process typically takes about 8 weeks - four weeks to do the preparation and four weeks to do the printing proofs and final books.  Each book is unique and these figures will vary.  The publicity phase is an ongoing process which begins during the book formatting stage and continues long after the book is printed.

Biographical Publishing Company has also positioned itself to help authors publish on Kindle, Nook, and other eBooks.  These electronic versions are certainly a bright light in the publishing industry.  There will always be paper and ink books, but eBooks are gaining in popularity at a rapid rate.  They now outsell print books on Amazon.  With printing and shipping costs at zero, the profit potential for authors with eBooks is higher than with traditional printed books.
