Work With Us
What makes us different
We’re writers too
We know that book ideas are rarely fully formed at the start. The path from first spark to finished publication can be winding and, at times, overwhelming, especially if this is your first book. We’ve been there ourselves, and we understand what it takes to keep going.
Collaboration comes first
We publish books with authors, not for them. Our process is collaborative, transparent, and jargon-free. It is designed to meet you where you are ensure you’re always part of the conversation and never left guessing about what comes next.
We walk with you
Our background spans decades of editorial and publishing work, giving us a clear understanding of the process. We help you navigate each step, from early drafts to publication, including the messy middle. Our role is to guide, support, and steady the process, so it leads to a book you’re proud to share.
Fairness & trust
We offer a generous profit share that reflects the value of your work. You retain control of your story, and we succeed only when your book does. A win-win that is simple, transparent, and aligned.
FAQ
Publishing a book can feel overwhelming, and every author’s journey is different. Here are answers to some of the questions we get asked most often.
Publishing Your Book with Enthusiasts of Life
How long does it take to publish a book with Enthusiasts of Life?
The timeline for publishing a book varies depending on factors like manuscript readiness, editing, and design.
On average, the process from a final manuscript to a print-on-demand published book takes 1-3 months.
We work closely with you at every step to ensure a smooth and efficient journey, prioritizing quality and care.
Why does Enthusiasts of Life focus on Print-on-Demand (POD) publishing?
Print-on-demand (POD) books are physical copies that are printed one by one as they’re ordered, offering the traditional tactile reading experience.
E-books are digital versions readable on devices like tablets, phones, and e-readers, providing instant global access and convenience.
We can help you publish your book in both formats to reach the widest possible audience.
What's the difference between publishing a print-on-demand book and an e-book?
We believe POD offers incredible benefits for independent authors:
- it eliminates large upfront printing costs and inventory storage fees, making publishing more accessible and cost-effective.
- it also reduces waste by printing books only when they’re ordered.
- it offers fantastic flexibility for updates or revisions without needing large new print runs.
Print on demand is a sustainable and author-friendly model.
Do I need to obtain an ISBN for my book?
Yes, an ISBN (International Standard Book Number) is essential for your book to be catalogued and sold through major retailers. If you plan to publish both a print-on-demand book and an e-book, you’ll need a separate ISBN for each format.
We can handle the entire ISBN acquisition process for you, ensuring your book is correctly registered and ready for distribution across all platforms, so you don’t have to worry about the technical details.
Is professional editing required before submitting my manuscript?
While not strictly required for initial submission, professional editing significantly enhances the quality, clarity, and impact of your manuscript.
Our experienced editorial team offers developmental, line, and proofreading services.
If your manuscript isn’t quite ready for publishing, we can guide you through the necessary editing process to ensure your story shines.
Why is book layout and design so important?
A professional book layout and design are crucial for an enjoyable and engaging reading experience. From thoughtful font choices and comfortable spacing to compelling cover art, design impacts how readers connect with your story.
Our team provides professional layout, typesetting, and cover design services to ensure your book looks polished, professional, and captures its essence.
What if I want to revise or update my book after it's been published?
One of the significant advantages of print-on-demand is the ease of revisions. If you need to update your book’s content, we can help you revise the manuscript, reformat it, and get the new version printed quickly and efficiently, without the significant additional costs associated with large traditional print runs.
