Hello Terence Kuch,

Indeed, most indie publishers do not have the means to promote their authors. However, PDMI does just that. We love promoting and marketing our authors. We believe that it is 50/50 on both parties to accomplish greatness. This is why we have a full marketing staff team and we (Authors included) gather to discuss ideas and implement new strategies. We are sorry you have been disappointed by other Indie presses.

That’s pretty normal from all publishers, however. It pretty much doesn’t matter what publisher you work with – unless you got a six+ figure advance, count on doing all your own promotion!

To be honest, I could do all this stuff myself on Lulu or CreateSpace (except a great cover). What I mostly value is being acknowledged as a writer by people who (I hope!) know more about this business than I ever will. My biggest disappointment: not even an attempt at promotion, no matter how slight.

I’m starting my publishing exploration process, and it’s helpful to know what should be expected from an ‘indie publisher.” For how can you vet a company, if you don’t even know the baseline?
