Greenhood exposes the predatory practices of vanity publishing companies and shares how Black authors can avoid contract traps that steal their profits and ownership rights.• Vanity publishers like AuthorHouse and Exlibris offer publishing packages from $500-$15,000 that provide minimal value• These companies take up to 90% of royalties while charging authors triple the printing cost for their own books• When publishing with vanity companies, authors don't own their ISBN or often even their book cover• Authors should always read contracts carefully and understand what rights they're signing away• Self-publishing gives authors complete ownership and control over their intellectual property• Global distribution means your book is available worldwide, not just on Amazon• Marketing begins before you finish writing your book, not after publication• Being a New York Times bestseller only requires selling 6,000 books in the first weekFor marketing tips and strategies, download a free ebook at publishwithtiffany.com.
