We know how much the world has changed.
The process of producing and selling a creative work is massively different than it was when we began our publishing careers. “Success” is no longer defined by securing a “publishing deal.” Traditional publishers offer less and less support to new and breakthrough authors, and ever-evolving mediums for reaching target audiences empower alternative avenues to promotion and sales, making “independence” an appealing and achievable option.
Dirt Roads LLC was begun in order to provide independent authors access to the kind of editing, design, and production that has long been out of reach without a traditional publishing deal. We are here to listen to your vision and then help you bring it to life, all while sharing expert guidance for making wise investment choices. We’ll help you get the results you want in look, feel, and quality, while advising a sensible path toward break-even and profit.
The hardest part about publishing a book today,
whether independently or with the support of a traditional publisher, is navigating a space that has become more and more impersonal and driven by technology, and less about the relationships that have long ensured a vibrant industry with reliable standards of quality and exciting investment in creative talent.
At Dirt Roads LLC, we don’t rely on automated responses and AI-generated emails to do the work we deeply care about. We believe in being available to promptly respond to questions and to answer with honesty and recommendations based on experience. When you reach out to find out more about our process, or next steps, or what to consider when making a monetary decision, we will be there with the information you need to move forward with confidence.
We are excited to meet you and learn about your project. And we are ready to help you make the decisions that will shape your book and your experience sharing it with the world.
