Lincoln Square Books

Our service model is based on the author as publisher. We make it easy for entrepreneurial authors to succeed by helping them think and plan like traditional publishers, and by providing high-grade professional services at every step. Advantages of self-publishing include: speed to market, full creative control, higher earnings once revenue begins to be generated, and closer connection. Where many self-publishing ventures break down is that key processes are absent. There is insufficient strategic planning at the beginning (holding the end in mind), a lack of oversight of parallel processes (what needs to happen and when for things to run smoothly on every track), and too many choices (confusion). At LSB, we project manage (coordinating personnel and systems, and identifying appropriate resources for the client), consult (helping navigate the options in a way that is customized), and deliver hands-on, high-quality services. We assist author/publishers in producing their books in every format they want to sell: hardcover, paperback, digital, and even—if appropriate—audio. While we’re doing project “busy work,” our clients are freed to embody their role, which is being the face of their business, promoting, selling, and being on a mission.
