Producing your book isn't a solo sport

A book is an act of collaboration. You need a team and input from others to complete it. It's a delicate balance to have everyone on the same page.

The content and format of your book matters

You need to understand the goal of the book, the foundation, what the end-user value is, and how it will be arranged.

Connecting the resources to create your book

Production includes many detailed steps to turn a book idea into an actual product.

Creating value for your book

Marketing is an important aspect of publishing. The author participates in the marketing process from start to end.

Brigitte Cutshall

Hi ya'll! I'm an author, a media solutions and production expert. For the past 25+ years, I’ve been helping content creators with production solutions.


I've worked with the large traditional publishers, indie-publishers, small and large businesses - including non-profits. That experience adds up to over 200 million copies of book production I've been a part of.


It's common to take our knowledge for granted and I've been in those shoes too. Authors who have been down the publishing path before convinced me to share my wisdom and experience to help others.


Publishing a book is a great endeavor yet can be hard. You need a plan. There are a lot of a steps to write, design, produce, and market a book. No matter which method you choose to publish and distribute, you want to have a quality book at the end.
