They're just bigger is all. Seriously, Classic Day/Peanut Butter Publishing can offer to you nearly all the services that a large publishing house can provide. The big difference is that you will bear the financial risk instead of the publisher. The upside, however, is that you maintain the artistic and financial control that you would lose with a large publisher and reap a much higher return on book sales. If you have a solid plan, you can do very well for yourself. Classic Day/Peanut Butter Publishing can put its experience to work for you on such a plan. We can help you minimize the risks and maximize the opportunities.

According to the Association of American Publishers (AAP), the book publishing industry was a $23.7 billion industry last year and the number is growing every year. But despite the large number of books being published, the vast majority of them do not turn a profit. Simply put, there is a lot of competition and conventional publishers are unable or unwilling to take many chances on unknown or inexperienced authors. If you try to use a conventional publishing route you could find yourself going through a painfully long, frustrating process that may ultimately end up in rejection.

Very little, really. Classic Day/Peanut Butter Publishing fits all those descriptions. Sometimes the term "self-publisher" can apply to the person that writes a book and goes about independently finding designers, editors, printers, binders, etc.

According to Dan Poynter's Parapublishing, there are over 86,000 small/self publishers in the United States and each one publishes, on average, about seven books total. That's total, not in one year. Classic Day/Peanut Butter Publishing has published nearly 1,000 titles over the last 35 years. We have the experience and personalized services to help you make quality decisions and achieve your goals.
