Have you heard of the book Rich Dad, Poor Dad? The author, Robert Kiyosaki, was rejected by all the publishers he approached, so he published the book himself, selling the first copies out of a friend's gas station. Within two years Rich Dad, Poor Dad was on the New York Times Bestseller List, where it remains today.
AM Direct was created to help writers bypass the conventional gatekeepers - agents and publishers - and effectively publish their book themselves.
Where did we get our name? "AM" stands for Attitude Media, which is the publisher of books and websites . "Direct", because we create a web site to help you sell directly to consumers.
If you have a manuscript, we can supervise the entire process, including editing, printing, and marketing. If you already have a book, we can help you sell it by creating a sophisticated web site, and even providing distribution.
Most "vanity" or "subsidy" publishers help you print your book, but that's it. AM Direct is different because we help you with the hard parts - sales and promotion.
The first step is our analysis of your book or manuscript, and only costs $95. This includes basic production and marketing advice.
