Your Book. Your Goals.
The Right Publishing Partnership.
Every author brings a different story, audience, and purpose to publishing. At TruLife Books, we offer three main publishing contract styles—Traditional, Hybrid, and Self Publishing—to match your project with the right level of investment and support.
Whether you have an established audience, want to share the investment in your book, or are publishing to support your business, we’ll help you understand your options.
Traditional Publishing
Your platform. Our publishing investment.
Our Traditional Publishing option is designed for authors who have an established platform and an audience they can reach. That platform might include an engaged following, a speaking career, a professional network, or a community interested in the subject of their book.
Under this arrangement, TruLife Books covers the cost of publishing. We consider both the manuscript and the author’s ability to connect with readers when evaluating projects for a traditional publishing contract.
This option may be right for you if:
- You have an established audience interested in your work.
- You have a clear way to reach potential readers.
- You are ready to take an active role in promoting your book.
Traditional publishing opportunities are selective. Specific publishing commitments, author responsibilities, and compensation are outlined in the agreement.
Hybrid Publishing
A shared investment in bringing your book to readers.
Hybrid Publishing is a partnership between the author and TruLife Books. We cover certain expenses, and the author covers others, with each party’s contribution clearly defined before the project begins.
This approach allows us to invest together in a book we believe in while building a publishing plan around its needs and potential audience.
This option may be right for you if:
- You want a publishing partner and are prepared to contribute financially.
- You are building your audience or expanding your existing reach.
- You want a shared approach to the investment in your book.
The expenses covered by each party, included services, promotion responsibilities, and compensation are specified in the publishing agreement.
Self Publishing
Publish with a purpose—and professional support.
Our Self Publishing option is designed for authors who want to fund their publishing project and use their book to achieve a personal or professional goal. The author pays the cost of publishing and promotion, with services selected to fit the project.
This is often a good fit for business owners, consultants, speakers, and other professionals who want a book that communicates their expertise, supports their services, or creates new opportunities.
This option may be right for you if:
- You are using a book to promote your business or strengthen your professional reputation.
- You want to support speaking engagements, training, or client education.
- You have a specific business purpose or audience in mind.
- You are prepared to invest in publishing and promoting your book.
Your proposal and agreement will identify the services included, their costs, and each party’s responsibilities.
