![]() ![]() Some authors I talk with are excited about the prospect of a hands-off publisher-because then the book can come out exactly as you intend without “interference.” But this undercuts from the start the whole reason for working with a publisher in the first place. While experienced authors might be able to do such work or at least source it, a new author typically needs some guidance on best practices. They may lean on authors to come up with the best title and write the marketing copy for their own work. Some small presses put a lot of burden on the author to get the book right, and offer limited editing in-house. Without sufficient effort to get the product (book) right, neither author nor publisher has much hope of selling and marketing it successfully. If the publisher isn’t fully invested in producing the best-quality book, that causes trouble immediately for what comes afterward.
