The world of publishing is constantly changing. Here at Bluewater Publications we make it our goal to adapt with it in order for us to be of the highest quality for our authors and their work. With our new system at Bluewater Publications, the author invests in their work from the beginning. Who believes in your work more than you? Because you’re investing upfront, you’ll retain 50% of the net profits on printed books as well as 50% of the net profits on ebooks. At a traditional publisher, you could expect to retain no more than 8-10% of the net profits.
This isn’t self-publishing. Unlike self-publishing, at Bluewater Publications, quality matters. We review all of our books thoroughly for the quality of the writing. Once you’re work has gone through our submission process, we will separate it into one of three different tracks. If you’ve already worked with an editor and your work is up to our standard, we’ll put you in Track 1 where we will move forward with the publishing process. If you’re book has yet to be edited we’ll put you in either Track 2 or Track 3. You’ll work with one of our editors to fine tune each page and bring it up to Bluewater standards.
Bluewater Publications differs from the traditional big name publishers by allowing you to keep the majority stake in your book. While other publishing houses will buy a large stake in your book they often don’t deliver the help authors need to edit and market your finished product. Here at Bluewater, we help to make sure your work is of the highest standard. By partnering with Bluewater, you’ll always own the copyright and allow Bluewater Publications the publishing rights.
As a hybrid publisher, we work extremely hard to help you reach your publishing goals, but without the same resources as a traditional publisher, we need our authors to be fully invested in the path to get there. Bluewater Publications has one primary publishing package which allows our authors to breathe easy and gives you a step-by-step guide through the publishing process. This package costs $5900.
