At Lighthouse Publisher, we understand that most self-published and first-time authors are either on tight budgets, or don't know how to get their books in print, or perhaps both.

Through our very own publishing journeys we've learned the dos and the don'ts of the self-publishing industry and have a genuine interest in passing our experiences on to our fellow authors.

We use the latest Industry-standard software for all our publishing, graphic design, and ebook conversions, but we offer old-school service at realistic prices.

We do not use ready-made templates for any of our formatting and designs, all of our books are designed individually with the complete cooperation and input of our authors; and we produce bookstore and library quality books of the highest standard.

Literary AgentLiterary agents are in the business of finding literary talent, like book editors, only earlier in the process. Literary agents find promising authors, sell their books to book editors, and then take a cut of the proceeds. A sense of how to sell and package a writer — along with a sense of what kind of books will sell in the marketplace — is key to success in this career.

PublicistPublicists usually work directly with authors and agencies while pitching books and building relationships with reviewers, websites, media outlets, and literary scenes. Publicists may also have to demonstrate exceptional skills in crisis management and damage control if an author or publishing house gets themselves in some hot water with the press or the public. Working in book publishing, a publicist tries to get press attention for the books and authors that Lighthouse publishes.

Marketing ManagerMarketers are often good writers themselves as they get to put their writing skills to use in creating press releases, media kits, and catalogues, often writing copy that highlights the great features of an author, a book, or a publishing house campaign. A position in marketing for a publishing house can be a grueling job, as it is a fast paced job and our marketing manager is expected to manage the expectations of editors, authors, and publicists with ease and efficiency.
