How to Get Published with Book Packagers
A Golden Opportunity for Writers
Book Packagers:
The most exciting publishing opportunity you've never heard of.
Can we let you in on a secret?
Many of the books being published today aren't really the product of the publishing company listed on the spine. They're actually written, researched, edited, illustrated, and sometimes even printed via a third party company.
That company? The book packager.
Few writers have any idea who these book packagers are, let alone how they can be a vibrant and ongoing source of opportunity for authors looking to get published.
In this comprehensive workshop, author, educator and successful book packager Lionel Bender will teach you exactly how to take advantage of this incredible opportunity.
Here's the reality:
In these days of shrinking budgets and staff cutbacks, publishers often find themselves unable to create and publish new books on their own. So, they outsource these tasks to companies known as book packagers.
But these book packagers are far more than just helping hands. Book packagers are actively working to find new authors, book ideas, fiction series and more to sell directly to publishers.
If writers know who these companies are, what they're looking for and how to approach them the right way, the publishing opportunities are limitless.
But here's the problem: there are very few experts on the subject of book packagers, and even fewer with the skills to teach authors how to take full advantage of these opportunities.
Luckily, we happen to know the expert on the subject: Lionel Bender.
Now, in one powerful teaching session, Lionel will teach you everything you need to take full advantage of the fantastic opportunities available to you.
Lionel isn't just a successful author of more than 70 books. He's the editorial partner in Bender Richardson White, a major book packaging company that has created more than 1,000 books.
Lionel is a widely known and respected player in this market and one of the most knowledgeable people on this subject you could possibly meet.
In this workshop, he'll provide clear, actionable direction that will help you connect with book packagers, discover opportunities, understand contracts and much more.
It's a goldmine of information that, until now, has been very, very hard to come by.
Imagine a writing career in which the work comes to you. Instead of chasing editors and agents, you'll be doing what you love: writing.
How to Get Published with Book Packagers will teach you exactly what you need to start working directly with book packagers:
- The origins of book packagers and why publishers use them
- The range and diversity of books and educational materials book packagers produce—both fiction and nonfiction, children’s and adult, trade, school-and-library, educational, novelty products and branded products
