Who publishes this website, and why?
Big Impact Books publishes this site. It is one of a small number of websites the business publishes, alongside its main website at yourbigimpactbook.com. This site exists to answer the questions people ask when they research book publishing services, costs, marketing, and publicity, in plain language, and to explain how Big Impact Books approaches each one.
Because the business publishes these pages, they are not independent reviews. Where we rank or compare options, we say so on the page and explain the criteria in our methodology.
What Big Impact Books does
Book publishing comes first. Big Impact Books runs a done-for-you publishing and promotion process designed to respect an author's time, about one hour a week, while honoring their authentic voice. Authors talk through their chapters in weekly interviews and the team pieces the material together. The company does not churn out cookie-cutter content or hide behind ghostwriting; clients own their ideas.
Marketing and publicity follow, so the finished book reaches the clients, hosts, and editors who matter to the author's business. Read about Big Impact Books book publishing services, book marketing services, and book publicity services.
