IMPRINT TESTIMONIAL:

“When my publisher retired, two of my storytelling books suddenly went out of print. Although I had book contracts with traditional publishing houses for new releases, I dreaded the long process of finding a publisher to put my older books back into print. Then an author friend recommended that I get in touch with Nancy Cleary. I did, and felt immediately comfortable with Nancy, who answered all of my many questions, sometimes twice, with warmth and infinite patience.

Nancy walked me through every step of the way. Not only did she help me create my Appleboat Press imprint, she used her considerable skill as a graphic artist to brand me as an author, and help me design my logo, stationery, and business cards. She even helped me get my website up and running. This I considered a small miracle, as I had already spent hundreds of dollars, several years, and made several false starts that did not result in a working website. But Nancy is someone who gets things done, and done well.

Nancy Cleary is a whirlwind of positive energy, completing every promised task brilliantly, professionally, and in record time. She is consistently cheerful and good-natured, patient, and genuine, yet underneath all that is an extremely accomplished and talented professional with business savvy that astounds. She possesses the boundless energy to make and meet any goal. Now I not only have books to sell at my performances and workshops, I get to sit back and collect checks for books that Nancy has even helped market for me.”

“DIY Rescue” & our IMPRINT PROGRAM

We now offer DIY ASSISTANCE PACKAGES, and our empowering IMPRINT PROGRAM celebrates 5 years, 56 successful Imprints, and 95 Imprint products to date!

Wyatt-MacKenzie has been assisting authors for over two decades. What we offer is unique, absolutely transparent, and our assistance and perspective is unparalleled.

LEVEL #1 — “DIY RESCUE” PACKAGES

We can create a custom package to help authors: 1.) Choose from the many self-publishing and e-publishing options, 2.) Receive professional assistance for individual aspects of the publishing process, or 3.) Be rescued from a DIY dilemma. E-MAIL your specific publishing needs and we will provide a custom quote.

LEVEL #2 — IMPRINT PROGRAM

Wyatt-MacKenzie Imprints are writers and entrepreneurs who have found a powerful step above self-publishing. What is an imprint? An imprint is YOUR OWN small publishing company under the umbrella, assistance, and experience of a larger publishing company.

We take care of everything — all of the publishing and packaging details; distribution direction; access to our in-house editor, proofreader, and indexer; plus give Imprints all of the marketing, publicity, and industry information they need, plus branding packages unlike any in the industry.

With an Imprint, authors are not self-publishing with a pay-for-publishing author service company, or even a middleman third party distributor — it is their Imprint name as the publisher, and their accounts with the distributor(s).

We set up Imprints with their own accounts: for printed books plus international distribution to ALL BOOK RESELLERS (not just Amazon) with Lightning Source (and CreateSpace), and for eBooks with Kindle, B&N for Nook, and iTunes for iBooks. With your own accounts you will always be in control, no matter what changes in the future. You will always be able to check your own sales, instead of waiting for reports. And you will always collect 100% of the profit, directly from the source. E-MAIL FOR INFO

Wyatt-MacKenzie publisher, Nancy Cleary, has 25+ years of book packaging and branding experience. Nancy creates all of the covers, interior layouts, branding, and promotional materials.

And, with 13 years experience as an indie publisher herself, Nancy can teach Imprints about the book industry, provide a book marketing plan overview, plus give priceless advice on distribution and publicity.

Imprints keep 100% of royalties and can set their own discount*. (*Ask us how much more money per book you will make versus other services.)

Imprints order books at cost, directly from the printer*. (*Plus discounts if you purchase in quantity, get the lowest possible production costs.)

Imprints are paid royalties directly from the distributor(s) (*there will never be delayed payment, or concern of stability of a middleman.)

Imprints can check their sales at any time (through the distributor directly—see exactly how the sales rankings compare to number of books sold that day).

Imprints keep 100% of rights, and Wyatt-MacKenzie can represent imprint titles for a flat commission, just as an agent would, for any opportunities we can bring to the table.

Being under the Wyatt-MacKenzie umbrella provides Imprints industry support when needed, and a transparent knowledge base to go-it-alone when wanted.
