So what is Voxie Media, exactly?

Voxie Media is a small publishing company built on the premise that a beautiful book is the ultimate calling card. A short, professionally-edited and stylishly designed book can lead you down many paths. These include speaking, consulting, more clients, an online program. And maybe a complete reinvention of what your work is now.

Why Voxie Media? Because vox means voice in Latin. Our goal is to help first-time nonfiction authors spread important ideas. Hence the idea of amplifying your voice. A book can provoke your readers to think and act and it can make the world a better place. Generally, the goal of authors we work with is not book sales, per se, but the results of being a published author.

A new kind of publishing company

Voxie Media is part of a new breed of publishing companies. We offer select nonfiction authors an appealing option that falls in between traditional publishing and self-publishing.

The old way

In the old model, an author who was chosen by a Big Six publisher gave away her rights (and royalties) to a multinational conglomerate in exchange for editorial, design, marketing and publicity support.

Note the first hurdle: you have to get chosen. As for marketing or publicity support, for most mid-list authors it is nonexistent these days. You don’t get it.

Going with a traditional publisher also means no control over the publication process and a wait as long as 18 months from book idea to publication.

The new way

The other alternative is to self-publish, meaning to do everything entirely yourself, from writing, editing, proofreading and book design to marketing, publicity and distribution.

The downside is that there is no editorial curation (is it really a kick-ass book idea??) and there is no quality control over the book design. These are two of the most important services offered by traditional publishers.

In self-publishing, the author gets all proceeds from sales of the book (minus the distribution fees charged by Amazon, etc.). But frankly, unless your book is a thriller or paranormal romance, this does not add up to significant revenue.

The Voxie Media option

Voxie Media represents a new option for nonfiction business authors: We provide curation of your book idea including professional editing and cutting edge design. We offer support and guidance (and in most cases, “do it for you”) at every step of the publishing process. Debbie Weil is the curator,  uber editor, producer, critic and cheerleader behind your book.

We also help you launch your book through smart use of social media. Our authors retain rights to their books and keep all proceeds from sales.
