Let's face a very important fact - INDEPENDENT PUBLISHING (print on demand/self publishing) is absolutely a viable, affordable and potentially profitable way for you to become a published author - regardless of the genre.  As traditional publishing houses trim their catalogs to established, high-grossing authors or specialized titles, many authors are making the decision to delve into independent publishing or print-on-demand publishing.

Bestselling Irish Author AJ Davidson moved to independent publishing, as did bestselling African Amercan Author JJ Michaels and they did it because there was a definite shift in who's publishing who and even top authors could potentially be placed in limbo. 

Pecan Tree Publishing celebrates New Voices, New Styles, New Vision in the publishing industry. That's why we want to become the company you choose to publish your book with.  We will be perfectly honest (it works for Progressive Insurance), our rates in some instances may be slightly higher than other print-on-demand companies. We should probably also tell you that we are not a fan of template-designed covers and interiors, so our graphic attention is a bit more intense. We are also not fans of package offers, but prefer per project consideration.  We do however employ some traditional company amenities with the very best that the independent publishing world has to offer; and that makes us great to do business with.

Our difference is this, we offer, at no additional charge:

• Development of media kits and media materials
• Conceptualization and development of marketing collateral and promotional campaigns
• Assistance in securing signing and promotional opportunities
• Creative/editorial development of works presented for publishing
• Customized book cover and interior layouts
• Introduction of titles in a widely distributed interview prospect catalog
• Securing of potential distribution through independent and specialized bookstores
