Promoting White Bird Publications
In the early days of writing my book, I researched and followed agent blogs. I expected to submit my synopsis and the first five pages to one, and then wait three months for the traditional non-reply rejection.
However, during the course of the revision process, I’ve learned that the publishing business has changed. Many writers self-publish to keep more of the profits, but I didn’t want to take another year to learn all the pros and cons.
I joined a local writers group and discovered White Bird Publications, an independently owned, traditional publisher who didn’t require an agent, and wasn’t a vanity publisher.
I’m pleased with my decision to add Defiance on Indian Creek to White Bird Publications growing number of quality books available from fiction and non-fiction genres.
Are you still happy with your decision to go with White Bird? Were you impressed with their editing process?

I am. White Bird has a three editor process, but occasionally errors are missed.

Modern publishers, even large press, leave marketing to the authors. White Bird is a small independently owned publisher busy with actual publishing. I’m happy with that.

but they do make effort to sell to book stores and book buyers?

Distribution is through Ingram to any book seller as Print on demand. This is all my publisher does.

A person can walk into any bookstore and order my books. Amazon does a pre-order before my newest book release. What exactly do you want? Lol
