By creating a non-profit publishing model, we want to provide the tools, resources, and support to authors who otherwise would not have access to them, to tell the stories that otherwise would not be told.
As a non-profit publisher we are creating a model that is first and foremost dedicated to helping authors be successful. Successful in their writing. Successful in their publishing process, from editing to book cover design to layout, and finally to publication and distribution.
With this model we will embrace authors at the beginning of their writing journey, enrolling them in a writing workshop to receive tools, guidance, and support as they take their story/idea from concept to paper.
We will continue to provide support and engagement from our author community to surround the author as they navigate the challenges and hurdles that all authors face.
Finally, we will work closely and collaboratively with each author throughout the publishing process.
While the distribution channels take a large part of a books purchase price, the bulk of what remains is traditionally siphoned off by the publisher to help recoup the cost of publishing. This means the smallest amount is left over for the authors.
Our model will disrupt the current ‘sales-funnel' model for authors to reach readers with their books by working in tandem with our Journey Institute Voices Speakers Bureau to help them find creative and proven ways to engage their audience, get the message and stories of their books told.
