Emerald Lake Books is committed to being the hybrid publisher authors can trust.

So we provide as many educational resources as possible, not just for authors who choose to publish with us,
but for any author who wants to ensure that their book is the best it can be!

To that end, we are the hosts and event sponsor for the Publish with Purpose virtual summit that takes place in October each year.

This multi-day event brings together well-known speakers and industry experts to share the information authors need to know in order to sell more books, build their platform, and create a lasting and successful author career.

To register for this year’s event, visit here.

Many times, the authors we speak with don’t know what questions to ask. As a result, they often don’t have a clear understanding of everything they should know before deciding on a publishing company to partner with. 

To help you gather more insightful information and compare apples to apples as you talk to different companies, we’ve created our free 61 Questions to Ask Before Choosing a Publisher workbook.

There are pros and cons to every publishing model

When it comes to publishing, the path to a completed book is varied and winding. What works for one author may not fit the needs and abilities of another. And we don’t claim to be right for everyone. No single publisher can be.

Every author and book has different needs and expectations. So it’s unreasonable to think that any publishing solution is “one size fits all.”

It’s important to understand the differences between traditional publishing, hybrid publishing and self-publishing, so you can confidently choose the right fit for you.

Generous Royalties

While we encourage our authors to focus more on revenue that’s generated beyond the book’s sales, our authors receive 50% of all royalties generated through our distribution channels.

Retain Rights

You’ve worked hard to develop your content. So it’s only right that you retain the rights to your intellectual property. That’s why we only require an exclusive license to publish your work.

Expanded Distribution

When we publish your book, it’s not just put on Amazon. We distribute your book through a variety of channels to ensure it’s available to bookstores, libraries and universities as well.

Author Discounts

We never require authors to purchase copies of their books. However, if you want copies of your own, we make them available to you for a 20% mark-up on the printing costs.
