Influence Publishing

Do you have the capacity to influence change in the world with your book?

Do you think outside the box?

Are your ideas and content unique to you?

Why does it matter that YOU matter to Influence Publishing?

Traditional Publishers do not want original thinking.  They want subject matter that fits into nice neat boxes and catergories.  They treat books like a fast moving consumer good.  If the publisher can adapt your book to make it FIT into the consumer market, AND they can change your words and content to fit that, you may have a chance of being given a contract to be told you no longer have any say in what is actually published!

Why is Influence different?

Because we ONLY want authors that don’t fit into the box!  We want your original thinking!  In all areas of Non-fiction except Religion, Poetry, Personal attacks/politics, Racially biased books etc
Sorry, no fiction books.

So how do I get published with Influence?

If you are willing to educate yourself to give voice to your purpose, you’re already half way to winning a publishing contract.  The first step to being published with us is to attend a Mastermind Publishing Circle (Only 8 people qualify each month)

The Mastermind Publishing circle is facilitated by the publisher and designed to mastermind critical thinking to shift your paradigm of the real PURPOSE of your book.  A Book gives voice to your purpose, the Mastermind empowers you to understand how important your message is!  It helps you clarify and crystalize the purpose of your book.  See InspireABook tab for more info.
