When choosing the name of my new publishing company I decided right from the start to insert a word that defines ordinary to extraordinary.
Elite. The word elite is defined in the dictionary as : pick, cream, la crime de la crime, flower, nonpareil, elect; high society, jet set, beautiful people, beau mode, Haut monde, glitterati; aristocracy, nobility, upper class.
I myself wasn’t looking to snub my nose at people but rather choose the best of the best in my search for a great writer who wants to become an author.
Someone who knows that I will value their work in the highest regard and will back the work and help them on the journey to solidify there dreams of becoming an author.
My publishing company is in no way shape or form competition with my current employer and my publisher of several other books I’ve published with them and am in contracted with. Rather it is a separate union all together. So let’s make that crystal clear.
My company will be targeting Canadians for the most part and if I come across a gem I will consider publishing them regardless of their location. But this would mean that they have something I’ve never ever come across before. A gem is definitely the best way in which to describe it.
People are asking in what capacity as a publisher am I offering my services. Well I am as I said helping Canadians get a leg up on publishing. Either traditional or indie or self publishing. So they have options and control over their outcome.
Let me better explain, if I come across a submission and it’s something I stand behind I will add the offer to publish traditionally as I feel it will sell and is in conjunction with my brand of authors books I would love to work with.
My company is not even a week old and already people are reaching out and I am overwhelmed with gratitude for those who’ve wanted to help me spread my wings ad get this business off the ground.
I want to especially send a special thank you to the publishing company Hear Our Voice, who emailed me and gave me exceptional information to help market our authors here in Canada and shared knowledge of the business. I can’t thank them enough. And it was freely given.
So this is it, I don’t have any fall back plan or other thing I’m working on. I’ve decided to put 110 percent all in to making this work.
I honestly love helping people making there dreams of becoming an author come true. In every capacity, whether its illustrations or formatting it for them so they can upload it themselves, whatever it is. I am more than happy to help I’ve always loved seeing and hearing the joy that comes from it and it will continue to push me to help those who wish to help themselves.
So by now I hope you are good and curious as to what I’ve named it lol. My company is called: The Elite Lizzard Publishing Company.
And we are now open for business. Please feel free to send me an email even if you aren’t from Canada. I can help you find a company in the USA that is taking on submissions.
