Important Note:
While we have consistently produced professional books with successful launches on a variety of subjects, the nature of this work is such that we cannot guarantee specific results. Many factors beyond our control may positively or negatively influence a book’s performance. It may get picked up and promoted by a powerful influencer. There may be a competing book launched in the same week that has pumped tens of thousands of dollars into paid advertising.
The job of Identity Publications is to optimize your book’s chances of success using the information and resources we have available at the time that we work. Anyone who promises otherwise is lying to you. We focus on long-term success, intangible rewards, and lasting results. Everyone’s situation is unique, and are methods are tailored.
Your success is our success. We don’t take on projects that we don’t passionately believe in and foresee the rampant success of.
