We try to be as transparent and clear as possible. Here are some of the most common questions we receive from executives, social entrepreneurs, and brilliant writers who approach us.
How does the publishing partnership work?
We collaborate to make the best book possible, providing support on the entire editorial process, marketing strategy, book design and production, and distribution.
We are the experts, but you are the CEO. Nothing is published without your full approval.
What’s the investment level?
Personalized proposals are based on status of the manuscript, market opportunities, and goals. However, most authors should expect a minimum investment of $30,000.
What formats do you offer?
All our books are put out in paperback and e-book formats. Most will also include hardcover and audiobooks. We’ll strategize about what formats work best for you.
What books do you publish?
We are focused on non-fiction, business books and memoirs that present a compelling message, have market potential, or can be leveraged to generate a high ROI for the author.
Do you accept fiction books?
At this time, Lucent Book Group is not accepting fiction. If you have a novel, we recommend looking at Luminare Press platinum package, which offers publishing using print on demand. Though some fiction books do well with hybrid, self-publishing assist offers a better chance at a positive ROI.
Do you help sell my book?
Yes, we have a strong distribution partner that reaches out to retailers (from Barnes & Noble to airport retail stores) who will carry your book.
