I Got Into Book Publishing By Accident

Many people don’t know I got into book publishing by accident.

I was a successful publisher of Alaska Outdoors magazine, I’d hosted a fun radio talk show, and produced a television show on the same topic.

Then, in 1990, my wife brought my attention to a dear friend of hers who’d written a book, Udder Confusion, a memoir of her homesteading years in the Mat-Su Valley near Anchorage.

Mrs. Elverda Lincoln didn’t know any company in Alaska that published books, and figured that publishing magazines was pretty close to book publishing, wasn’t it? So there we were.

We never thought we’d become a book publishing company.

We just worked on doing the best we could do for Elverda, and her first book was published in 1992.

She went on to do a second book with us, Alaska Animal Antics.

Elverda’s happiness with her books spread by word of mouth.

We did more books, many different kinds of books, and got better with each book, learning as we went.

And now, almost 30 years later, we share in the success and happiness of our many authors, more than 300 worldwide.

In addition to being an author and a book publisher, I’m also the developer of Author Masterminds.

To assist authors in understanding how to work with Publication Consultants, we put together a free book: Bringing Your Book to Market; A Writer’s Guide to Becoming a Published Author.

We also produced a free video for authors who want to self-publish their book and avoid the pitfalls encountered by unknowledgeable and uninformed writers.

If you have any questions, just send me an e-mail, or give me a phone call and let’s talk.

As you move from being a writer to becoming a published author, kindly keep in touch.

I’d like to hear from you.
