Publishing services
Why has Tate Publishing become one of the most credible and successful publishers in the industry? Simple—we have the best authors (only 4 percent of manuscripts submitted make it through the acquisitions rigorous requirements), the most gifted production staff, and we market each book to see the highest potential of sales and royalties!
We are the publisher that others are striving to emulate because we offer the most author-friendly publishing service in America with the highest author royalties of anyone! When you become part of the exclusive Tate Publishing family, here are a few things you can expect:
- Beautiful custom cover designs created specifically for your book (our books stand out on any shelf!).
- Full professional editing and text layout in Adobe inDesign, registered ISBN, and author copyright also provided.
- Book is set up for nationwide distribution with the largest distributor in the world, Ingram/Spring Arbor. We guarantee product availability as Ingram has agreed to purchase and warehouse each book we release. Welcome to the big time—your book may be ordered anywhere in the world through Ingram! (See distribution agreement for distribution sales.)
- Author is assigned a personal marketing representative who follows a marketing plan for every book which includes sending press releases, book signing requests to bookstores, and monitoring availability of the book at all times. The marketing representative is the author's personal contact for any marketing requests and needs on-going. (You heard it right—our marketing staff remains at your service for the life of the book, and a book is forever!).
- Book is produced in paper format, audio book format and e-book format. Audio books are an $800 million/year business (and growing) and now constitute 10-15% of overall book sales in America. E-books are also quickly gaining popularity as technology now allows you to read books on your PDA, cell phone, computer or a stand-alone e-book reader.
- The highest royalty earnings! Authors receive 40 percent royalty from all direct sales while also benefiting from a 60 percent discount on their own personal book purchases—unbeatable in the industry! We also beat the usual 8 percent industry standard for distribution sales by offering our authors 15 percent.
- Author retains all rights to book as a partner for success in this exciting, unique and fulfilling Tate Publishing venture.
- In most cases authors are provided with free personal copies of their book at first printing. (These are great for family and friends eager to receive one of the first copies of the book!)
- Book is available for sales on Amazon.com, BarnesAndNoble.com, Target.com websites and many others. (Authors tell us this is often one of the most satisfying and rewarding experiences of being a published author when they first view their book listed and available for sales on numerous internet sites!)
- Book appears in Tate Publishing catalog presented to buyers of major chain bookstores nationwide by our marketing staff.
- Book featured in TatePublishing.com bookstore generating perpetual sales.
- Much, MUCH MORE!!!
