STRONGPrint PUBLISHING is a best-in-class book publishing imprint formed after Amber Vilhauer and her colleagues watched long-standing traditional and hybrid publishing companies dissolve quickly, leaving their authors with no publishing next steps and a financial loss. We knew there had to be a better way.
What we all have in common: Unwavering excellence in service, we take NO royalties, require NO print minimums, and agree YOU should own full rights to your content.
Leading By Our Core Values
The two things that will sell your book long-term include ongoing, strategic marketing and “excellent” book content. You can’t sacrifice quality, ever, in this market.
We have long craved authors protecting their unique voice and vision and publishing the book they want to get out into the world (vs. many companies shape production to fit their production needs).
When you onboard, you aren’t just getting an Account Manager to guide you through a cookie-cutter process. You get the security of the top publishing and launch strategists in the country, backing your customized workflow with a high degree of dedication and intentionality.
