IMPRINT TESTIMONIAL:

“When my publisher retired, two of my storytelling books suddenly went out of print. Although I had book contracts with traditional publishing houses for new releases, I dreaded the long process of finding a publisher to put my older books back into print. Then an author friend recommended that I get in touch with Nancy Cleary. I did, and felt immediately comfortable with Nancy, who answered all of my many questions, sometimes twice, with warmth and infinite patience.

Nancy walked me through every step of the way. Not only did she help me create my Appleboat Press imprint, she used her considerable skill as a graphic artist to brand me as an author, and help me design my logo, stationery, and business cards. She even helped me get my website up and running. This I considered a small miracle, as I had already spent hundreds of dollars, several years, and made several false starts that did not result in a working website. But Nancy is someone who gets things done, and done well.

Nancy Cleary is a whirlwind of positive energy, completing every promised task brilliantly, professionally, and in record time. Since signing with her, she has patiently walked me through any process that I needed help with. She is consistently cheerful and good-natured, patient, and genuine, yet underneath all that Warm and Fuzzy is an extremely accomplished and talented professional with business savvy that astounds. She possesses the boundless energy to make and meet any goal. Now I not only have books to sell at my performances and workshops, I get to sit back and collect checks for books that Nancy has marketed for me.”

Wyatt-MacKenzie Imprint

A unique publishing option - a revolutionary transparent consulting model for authors and entrepreneurs who want more than “self-publishing”

Wyatt-MacKenzie Imprints are writers and entrepreneurs who have found a powerful step above self-publishing.

What is an imprint? An imprint is a smaller publishing company under the umbrella of a larger publishing company. Random House has lots of them, ours is set up for independent publishing entities.

We teach our Imprint authors the importance of branding yourself as an Imprint – they are not self-publishing, they are launching their own small independent publishing companies under the Wyatt-MacKenzie umbrella. We help Imprints create your own publishing entity named for... your niche, your passion, your kids... however you want to leave your legacy or launch your career. We work with Imprints to create an identity for their imprint, and to build a bigger brand.

Wyatt-MacKenzie has been assisting authors for two decades. What we offer is unique, absolutely transparent, and our assistance and perspective is unparalleled.

We set up Imprints with their own accounts with the printer/distributor: view this page for author service companies which act as middlemen for this company, LightningSource. With your own account you will be able to order your books directly, at cost. You will be able to check your own sales, instead of waiting for reports. You will collect 100% of the profit, directly from the source.

Wyatt-MacKenzie publisher, Nancy Cleary, has 25+ years of book packaging and author branding experience. Nancy art directs the cover design of all Imprint books, providing as much assistance as needed. If Imprints also need professional interior layout, there is a package available, or we can provide templates and all the printer specifications.

With 12 years experience as an indie publisher herself, Nancy teaches Imprints insider secrets about the book industry and provides a marketing overview and priceless publicity advice.

We handle everything for you, and provide all the publishing and marketing information you don't even know you need yet.

Imprints keep 100% of royalties

Imprints keep 100% of rights and Wyatt-MacKenzie wil represent Imprint titles – if we attract interest, or an offer, from foreign rights agents, producers, larger publishers, and/or literary agents, we will present offers for a flat commission, just as an agent would.

Imprints can add additional support: marketing, publicity, author branding, platform-building and business consulting, with optional packages.
