font-weight: 700"><font size="4"> Traditional Publishers – How they think</font></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.25in">Although some books have wide appeal, you as an author must realize that not everybody in the world wants to read the story you’ve written.  If you’re not one of the jurors on a high profile case, or Bill Clinton, the story of your life, may not have mass appeal.  You must face this fact.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Publishers are in the business to make money.  When a publisher takes on a title, they must believe that your title has the marketability to sell enough copies to recoup their costs, as well as make the publishing house a profit.  That’s a fact, and you must realize, understand, and accept this fact.  </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Following up on the last point, if a publisher rejects your title, it probably doesn’t have anything to do with the merit of your work, or how good the story.  It’s all about profit, and making money on your work.  </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Large publishing houses, get inundated with queries, and simply do not have the time to evaluate all of them.  Your chance of getting in the door with these publishers is almost as bad as winning the lottery.  </p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Vanity Publishers – How they think</font></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal">These publishers will generally not evaluate your work.  They are not dubious organizations, however, the probably won't give you an honest assessment of the marketability of your work.   </p> <p class="MsoNormal">They are in the business of making money.  They ask you to pay for publishing your book, regardless of the marketability of your work.  They make money, regardless of sales of your work.  </p> <p class="MsoNormal">They may tell you that you will get a royalty on sales of your book, but will not supply you with copies of your work to market with, unless you pay extra.  No matter what these publishers say, they are not very motivated to sell your book.  It is evidenced by the fact that you have to pay extra for marketing services, and they offer no guarantee of sales.  Basically their ‘paid marketing’ scheme is nothing more than another profit center for them, because YOU’RE paying for it.  </p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Western Star Publishing – How we think</font></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Our first principle of business is to be <b>HONEST</b> in all our business dealings.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">We will <b>HONESTLY</b> evaluate your work.  We will tell you if we believe your work has wide scale marketability, or not.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">If we believe it does, we will not charge you to publish your title; we will assume all costs of publishing.  We will market the book as best we can, and at our discretion.  You will be paid a royalty on sales of the book.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">If we believe that your book does NOT have wide scale marketability, we will be honest with you.  We will still encourage you to publish your book, but we will tell you the options available to you, without stroking your ego, and robbing your pocketbook.  </p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Western Star Publishing has been in business for 15 years, and in all that time, we believe in HONEST, dealings in all our business transactions.  </p> <p class="MsoNormal">We can, and do offer vanity publishing.  </p> <p class="MsoNormal">We can, and do offer print on demand publishing.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">We can, and do take on titles without asking the author to pay for publishing the work.  </p> <p class="MsoNormal">We can, and do provide fulfillment services for self published authors.  </p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">We will give you the best service in the business.  And above all, we will give you honesty.  And when it comes right down to it, why let a vanity publisher stroke your ego, rob your pocketbook, and tell you things you want to hear, when facts and truth are what you need.  </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Send us your work today for a no-cost evaluation.  We promise to send you a personal response of our thoughts on your work.  In particular, the marketability of your work, and how we may be able to help you publish your work.  </p> <p class="MsoNormal" align="center">START YOUR JOURNEY HERE</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <h5>Send mail to <a href="mailto:info@westernstarpublishing.com">scott@westernstarpublishing.com </a>with questions or comments about this web site.<br> Copyright © 2002 Western Star Publishing LLC<br> Last modified: January 27, 2010 </h5> </td></tr></table></body>
