What do you say about the negative comments that Solstice
Publishing is some kind of book mill that gives anyone a contract?
I would say that there isn’t
anything I can do about bad things said about Solstice Publishing by negative
people. What I can say are the facts. Solstice Publishing was created the
beginning of 2010. After 15 years, Solstice currently only has 138 authors. To
take that fact a step further; out of those 138 authors 40 of them only have 1
book each. That doesn’t really sound like a book mill to me. I know for a fact,
because I read the submissions, that Solstice rejects more submissions than are
accepted.
Does Solstice Publishing do any
marketing for the authors?
Yes, we do. However, we do no
work as a personal daily publicist for an author. We teach our authors how to
market and give them the tools they need to help brand their names as authors.
We make trailers for books, do author interviews, blog posts, newsletters,
press releases, and much more. We just can’t do it all for them. Authors have
to put in a lot of time and work into being an author.
What advice would you give to new
authors?
I would say that the competition
is fierce. Don’t expect to do nothing at all and have the sales come pouring
in. As an author you have to be willing
to put in the time and work it takes to be an author.
How do you respond to people that
say and post online negative untrue things about Solstice?
Nothing at all. There is no
reason to give that person any attention for their behavior. I would rather
focus my time and energy working with authors who want to be authors not help
spread lies about a company that I am proud of.
