Startups
Ideapress currently has three imprints and has published more than 50 titles over the past five years, including multiple bestsellers from widely known authors. Our titles have also earned more than 70 industry awards and been translated into over twenty languages. We are always considering new titles, and selectively publish only books that we truly believe in.
Why We Exist
The problem with big publishers is they never offer the level of support authors are hoping for. The problem with self publishing is that authors must handle time consuming logistics and struggle with perceptions that they haven't published a "real book."
We believe that a small boutique publisher can solve these problems.
Ideapress Publishing was founded by best selling author Rohit Bhargava and Chhavi Arya to offer an alternative to self publishing or working with a large publisher. Our vision is to bring the logistical support of a big publisher together with the proven real time advice authors need to launch a successful business book.
We treat every project like a startup by sharing equity in every project and only charging a fair commission to cover all the services that we provide.
In particular, we aim to solve these four frustrations of modern publishing:
1. SPEED
We have built a team of preferred vendors that know how to work quickly to help get your book edited, printed and into the market without traditional publishing delays.
2. EXPERTISE
Thanks to our collective experience publishing dozens of books, we test new ideas on our own projects and have earned our knowledge of what to do (and what to avoid).
3. MONEY
We are authors ourselves, and we believe the author should keep most of the revenue from a book - so we aim to minimize costs and keep our fees reasonable.
4. QUALITY
The ease of publishing today means lots of bad books get published. The good news is, that means quality matters more than ever - from writing to editing to printing.
