We Believe in Indie Publishing.
*** Fraud notice: We never send unsolicited emails to authors. If one arrives using our name or Shaun Loftus’s, it is not from us — please forward it to authors@bookwhisperer.ink and read our Fraud & Scam Notice. ***
Indie publishing has opened up the industry in ways that weren’t possible ten years ago. More voices, more genres, more readers finding books they actually want. We think that’s a good thing, and we’ve been part of it since 2017.
A Hybrid Worth Considering.
We’ve published over a thousand books for roughly a hundred authors. Many are established authors managing long lists and growing catalogues. Some are mid-list authors building steadily. Occasionally we take on a debut — when the project is right.
In practical terms, we do as much as — and often more than — many traditional publishers do: editing, covers, formatting, metadata, distribution, ARCs, advertising, marketing. The difference is that you keep your royalties, your accounts, and your rights. We charge a fee for the work. No royalty split. No rights negotiation. We don’t sit between you and your platforms.
We’re a small team. We like it that way. We take on work we believe in, and we don’t take on more than we can do well.
Featured Titles
My partnership with The Book Whisperer has been one of my favorite publishing (ad)ventures. Planning, execution, and communication have all been flawless, and the proof is in the sales numbers. Most importantly, it’s been much more fun than working with Hachette and HarperCollins. Shaun and her team are the best.
