Subject: Need help publishing your book or manuscript?

First of all Hi. My name is Steve Zellers...I'm a writer and owner a small publishing company. I love writing and spent years as probably most of you did trying to get my work published. After a lot of rejection and hard work I have begun to see a payoff. Now I want to grow my company. I want to help you if you have a book or manuscript you need help getting published with.

Yes I want to make money off your work. I'm not going to lie to you about that. We live in a money driven world. But guess what...If I make money off your work then you will too.

This is no joke...If you are a writer and have not had any luck getting published...i can help. I am a legitimate publishing company with real books and real distribution. I am looking for 4-6 more titles this year. Any genre. However there are rules. read carefully and please follow the instructions.

1. I must accept your manuscript for publishing before any money changes hands and before you sign your contract. I will only accept the highest quality material.

2. You must first email or snail mail your manuscript for approval.

3 If accepted you must provide a digital copy for set up and ebook sales.

4. If accepted you must sign a contract agreeing to publishing and "right to sell" and financial terms.

5. You must prove that you are the author and you own the material. If your material is not yet copyrighted I can help with that...the fee is $45 usd.

The price is a one time fee of $1200.00

Why am I charging money and offering this on this site? Two reasons; printing and setup is very expensive. Even if you've written the best book in the world it still costs money to produce and market. And this is a great place for creative marketing and networking. I am looking for serious writers who want to make it. I did...so can you.

This is what you will get for your investment

50 copies of your book. (up to 200 pages text only on white or creme paper. Soft cover 4 color, 6x9 or 5.5x8.5 perfect bound)

You retain ALL rights.

A regestered ISBN and bar code.

You can sell and market your book any way you wish.

I will also sell and market your book. You will get ALL profits from every copy of your book that I sell except $1.00. All this will be in your contract.

If you want to buy more books I will sell them to you at my printing cost plus $1.00 per book. (again...in the contract)

I have written and published three books myself. I am now a legitamate registered publishing company and want to grow my business. I have many contacts and much experience in the business. I am looking for talented ambitious writers who want to succeed. Please feel free to call me me if you have any questions. My cell is 615-336-6017. My email is wordshurt7@yahoo.com.

Keep writing and lets do this.

Steve Zellers

Ive been getting a lot of questions so here is my reply to one of them..I hope this helps.

Hi...and thanks for your reply. Any yes what I'm offering is a good deal. I am not into scams or spam or anything like that. Basically I tried for years and years to get my work published and finally just did it myself. My publishing company Wordwizard Publishing is small and new. I have a very good distribution set up. Your book will be offered to over 17,000 booksellers.

Basically it works like this. I have a POD (print on demand) printer, I can order my titles 1 at a time or 10,000 at a time complete with drop ship. My titles are listed in Advance magazine which is the catalog from which book stores order thier books from. Advance reaches around 20,000 book sellers. My company is small but profitable and growing. I want a few ambitious and talented writers to help put me on the map.

My thinking is this. I have two great titles. The Truth about Trucking (I'm a truck driver..lol) and the EYES of evil. (pics attached) I wrote both books and really believe in both. But I have the ISBNs and distribution in place. So why not help other writers and at the same time make my publishing co a real company? I've already done the hard part. I plan on writing many more books and publishing many more titles. I hope to publish 4-6 more titles this year but obviously I can't write that many.

My books are already available all over the internet (links below) and in a few days will also be on amazon and barns and nobles website in both soft cover and ebook. The long and short of it is yes its a good deal. It's good for me and for any writer who has good material and enough insight to see a great oportunity. I work hard to promote my books and I would for you too.

Example: Lets say your book was set up and retailed for $10.00 and cost $2.00 to print.

I use the standard wholesale rate of 55% off to booksellers.

Retail $10.00
holesale discount - 5.50
printing -2.00
wordwizard publishing - 1.00
_______
Profit for you $1.50 per book.

The same is true for ebooks. I would also set you up in the ebook markets/

Also you can buy your books at from me at $1 over printing whether you buy 1 or 10,000. And you can sell them however you wish. The book is yours. I will help promote it but I would expect you as a writer to promote your product as well. The big publishing companies want to buy your rights if you are lucky enough to get accepted. by a big publisher. You have no rights and they offer very small royalties.

Also the big publishing companies can take up to a year to produce a book. I will have a finished book in your hands within 45 days of your payment and a signed contract.

Yes I want to make money from you. But I still insist on approving your work before I'll accept your money or contract. It must be 'top shelf' before I'll put my name on it. I'll accept almost any subject but only the highest quality.

Whether you decide to work with me or not I appreciate your questions. Also even if I don't publish your work and you need help or feedback.....don't be afraid to ask. I'll be happy to help if I can. I hope to hear from you again. Thank you .
