MENU * Apply Now * Store * Contact Us MENU * Apply Now * Store * Contact Us THERE ARE THREE MAIN PUBLISHING MODELS. DO YOU KNOW WHICH ONE IS RIGHT FOR YOU? TAKE OUR 12-STEP QUIZ TO FIND OUT! Take the Quiz EMERALD LAKE BOOKS IS COMMITTED TO BEING THE HYBRID PUBLISHER AUTHORS CAN TRUST. So we provide as many educational resources as possible, not just for authors who choose to publish with us, but for any author who wants to ensure that their book is the best it can be! THE ART OF SELF-EDITING To that end, we periodically host a 5-day challenge called “The Art of Self-Editing.” Its main purpose is to help authors improve their writing techniques and avoid the common problems we see writers make regularly. Not only does that make it easier (and potentially cheaper) to work with your editor when the time comes, but self-editing also demonstrates to agents, publishers and readers that you take your work seriously. To register for the next challenge, visit theartofselfediting.com. PUBLISH WITH PURPOSE We are also the host and producer for the Publish with Purpose virtual summit that takes place in October each year. This multi-day event brings together well-known speakers and industry experts to share the information authors need to know in order to sell more books, build their platform, and create a lasting and successful author career. To register for this year’s event, visit here. We also host a 5-day challenge periodically called The Art of Self-Editing. Its main purpose is to help authors improve their writing techniques and avoid the common problems we see writers make regularly. 61 QUESTIONS TO ASK BEFORE CHOOSING A PUBLISHER Many times, the authors we speak with don’t know what questions to ask. As a result, they often don’t have a clear understanding of everything they should know before deciding on a publishing company to partner with. To help you gather more insightful information and compare apples to apples as you talk to different companies, we’ve created our free 61 Questions to Ask Before Choosing a Publisher workbook.

They give personal attention that has not been seen in the publishing world since the mid '90s, and see to it that the result is high quality, satisfying to the author, and still makes it into online retailers like Barnes and Noble. Although self-publishing is not for everyone, if there is a reason to do so, Emerald Lake Books is the place to go." Esther Wallace star-alt star-alt star-alt star-alt star-alt "Indispensible!! Emerald Lake Books is a professional, high-class operation. They have shepherded me seamlessly through the publishing process and now continue to guide me through the complications and challenges of marketing my book. It's not an exaggeration for me to say, I couldn't have done it without them. I sing their praises to everyone." Susanna Liller Ruby Slippers LLC star-alt star-alt star-alt star-alt star-alt "A full service book and business support system. Amazing and Supportive insight for anyone writing, rewriting or reinventing their book and their business. You and your Team are some of the most resourceful people in the industry, looking out for the entire business of your customers and not just the one time book opportunity. You address issues and concerns for your clients in a proactive way which is quite powerful and why I also keep referring people to you." Cheryl Marks Young Creative Blueprints for Leaders star-alt star-alt star-alt star-alt star-alt "Iceberg deep level knowledge and integrity. Tara is the smartest person I've ever met in the industry, I refer people to her because she knows what is going on and she can think strategically about how to get a book and brand out into the world. Her knowledge runs Iceberg deep." Patty Lennon Patty Lennon, Intuitive Entrepreneur star-alt star-alt star-alt star-alt star-alt "I'm so glad I met Tara at the 2019 Florida Authors and Publishers Assn conference. Her presentation was clear evidence of her abilities, knowledge, contacts, and concern as an author's representative. With thousands of new books vying for attention each year she provided the edge that got my new book "Welcome to the Zipper Club" noticed on Amazon. I thought I had a winning idea for my book cover. Mark took that idea and created an outstanding attention-grabbing cover. Thank YOU, Tara and Mark!" Bruce Ballister Ballister Books star-alt star-alt star-alt star-alt star-alt "Personalized treatment for a professional product. Emerald Lake Books worked hard to not only make sure my book looked and sounded professional, but they also met my publishing timeline and have been great to work with since the release of my book." John Suscovich Farm Marketing Solutions star-alt star-alt star-alt star-alt star-alt "Tara Alemany is what every author needs in an editor and publisher: patient, detailed, and incredibly knowledgeable about every nuance of good writing and publishing. Mark Gerber, in the imaginative leap of faith, listens, spins and creates the perfect image that cuts to essence of the author’s intent. Together, Tara and Mark are a dynamic duo. Work with them. They are the best. Mark Smutny, Author, Thrive: The Facilitator’s Guide to Radically Inclusive Meetings, 2nd ed." Mark Smutny Civic Reinventions Inc., star-alt star-alt star-alt star-alt star-alt "Having worked with Tara and Mark for the past several years I have felt more like part of a team than a client. Helpful hints, suggestions and unsolicited help to improve my books and boost sales are a reminder of the team effort." Marc Youngquist Swamp Dog Hollow star-alt star-alt star-alt star-alt star-alt "Tara provides the perspective and attention to detail that an author needs as it pertains to her written word. When you have spent months, even years, on a project, an author needs the objective professional who is an expert in her field and holds your best interests at heart. I found this and more with Emerald Lake Books. I wholeheartedly recommend these folks to anyone seeking a publisher. Thank you for all you've done and continue to do now that my book is out in the world. I'm so grateful." Greta Muller Greta Muller star-alt star-alt star-alt star-alt star-alt "Broad and deep understanding of publishing and superb attention to detail. Emerald Lake Books did excellent work for me in publishing my first book. They are highly experienced in the the process of writing and publishing and bring a broad and deep understanding to this complex and personal process. From planning the goals of writing, to editing, cover and interior layout and launching and marketing the book, attention to all details and personal attention and responsiveness were outstanding. You are in very good hands with Emerald Lake Books." Lionel Binnie Msource Ideas star-alt star-alt star-alt star-alt star-alt "Working with Tara and Mark has been such a pleasure. They are brilliant, efficient, and on top of the latest author and publishing tools. Emerald Lake Books took what would have been a daunting and overwhelming process and streamlined all the tasks. The homework that they have already done for you, helps you to become the best author you can be." marie ruggles Marie Ruggles star-alt star-alt star-alt star-alt star-alt "From my very first chat or email with Tara, I knew she was what I needed. She's the best. Extremely knowledgeable and professional, and gives 110%. She truly is a business partner and made my publishing journey so much easier than it would have been with any other publisher that I can imagine. And while I didn't have the day-to-day contact with Mark, he was superb (as evidenced in my profile cover photo). He seemed to intuit exactly what I needed--and was an outstanding listener, hearing what I may not have said as well. Beyond the book cover, I felt Mark contributed in many ways, and I trusted his opinions and feedback were valuable. Most importantly, my book became a best-seller in three categories because Emerald Lake Books really knows what they're doing, and is wonderful at guiding and steering their family of authors. " deborah charnes From the Boxing Ring to the Ashram star-alt star-alt star-alt star-alt star-alt "Great Publishing Team at Emerald Lake Books. Tara and her publishing team are true professionals in every way. Her knowledge, passion and dedication are readily apparent from the beginning. I am truly blessed to have published my new book with Emerald Lake Books and recommend to all fellow authors to do the same." Dennis C. Miller Experts in Nonprofit Leadership star-alt star-alt star-alt star-alt star-alt "Having never published or authored a book previously, I was a complete fish out of water. From my first video call with Tara and Mark at Emerald Lake Books I knew this was the team to trust my life's vision to. They walked me through each step of the way with patience, encouragement, and amazing expertise. Whether you are a newbie like me or have published before, I would highly recommend Emerald Lake Books for your project." Tom Bloomer Bloomer Associates star-alt star-alt star-alt star-alt star-alt "After spending a year submitting proposals for my book Enlighten Up! and filing the rejections from traditional publishers, I met Tara at a writers workshop and was impressed with her knowledge and presentation. I did my research and submitted my proposal. My experience with Tara and Mark was everything I hoped for and more. They listened! They were and remain supportive partners. Publishing a book is a huge undertaking and having excellent support and advice is absolutely necessary." Beth Gibbs ProYoga Therapeutics star-alt star-alt star-alt star-alt star-alt There are pros and cons to every publishing model When it comes to publishing, the path to a completed book is varied and winding. What works for one author may not fit the needs and abilities of another. And we don’t claim to be right for everyone. No single publisher can be. Every author and book has different needs and expectations. So it’s unreasonable to think that any publishing solution is “one size fits all.” It’s important to understand the differences between traditional publishing, hybrid publishing and self-publishing, so you can confidently choose the right fit for you. learn more ARE WE A GOOD FIT FOR EACH OTHER?
