Ethics Statement

B4Deadline is owned by Janet Musick, Publisher and Senior Editor of Tigress Press, LLC. As a matter of record, Tigress Press, LLC is NOT a subsidy press. All services related to publication of books are provided as part of the publishing package at no charge to authors.

B4Deadline will not accept for editing any manuscripts rejected by Tigress Press, LLC. We will also not accept for publication manuscripts we edit, but we will be more than happy to suggest publishers who might have an interest in your book.

If you want to self-publish your book, click on the Book Packaging link to get to Cinnamon Hill Publishing Company. Through this company, we can provide everything necessary to take your book from raw manuscript to printed product.

Why self-publish?

Just because you decide to self-publish your book, that doesn’t mean you couldn’t sell the book to a publisher. There are a number of reasons to publish yourself.

You have a compelling reason to get the book published in a certain timeframe and don’t want to wait the two plus years it can sometimes take to go the traditional route.
You have a built-in audience for your book, or want to use it for teaching purposes or workshops. Why not pay the upfront costs for the book, then you only pay printing and shipping costs and sell the books for the price you set. The profit is all yours, and you don’t have to wait for royalties.
You want to be in charge of the process. Even though we edit the book, you’ll find that your ideas, narrative and dialog are yours to control. We correct grammar, spelling, and point of view switches, but we won’t change your storyline. However, we will make suggestions for changes if we think they will make your book more marketable. You can also make cover suggestions or even have us use your artwork.
