You need a publishing partner who understands the latest technology, market realities, and marketing strategies.
With close to a million new titles published each year, competition for sales and exposure is tremendous. Traditional publishing doesn't work or isn't available for the vast majority of authors. Fewer than 5% of books are published this way. You spend months "pitching" your book before finally giving up and choosing another path. In the meantime, precious exposure and sales have been lost.
What about self-publishing? Most authors who go this route wind up with an inferior product with little to no real marketing strategy or support. A potentially great message gets improperly developed and, as a result, sales and impact are diminished.
Consider HigherLife's unique collaborative publishing model as the ideal balance between traditional and self-publishing. You retain your rights and benefit from a full team of gifted writers, editors, designers, and marketing strategists who know how to artfully craft your message. Our work is customized and tailored to help you achieve your specific goals and reach your unique audience.

The Key to Fixing Big Problems? – Think Small
This morning I read an email from a friend who is understandably concerned about the racial, political, social, and moral unrest and issues that divide us. Like so many of us, he has been watching various YouTube videos which present some aspect of the problem but offer little or no solutions. His email ended with, “So what are we[…]
6 Tips For Finding A Built-In Audience For Your Book
Before penning out your first draft, you should have a specific goal that you want to achieve through your writing. It could spread awareness on social issues like the negative impact of drugs, ADD medicine, or abuse of other addictive substances like alcohol and tobacco, etc. Firstly, determine whom you’re writing the message for and how[…]
Don’t get comfortable with mediocrity
When you purchase a new car, you probably pay attention to where you park, at least for a while, to avoid getting a door ding – OK, maybe this is just my issue. But I’m a “car guy” so the thought of having a ding in the smooth side of a new ride just drives[…]
Don’t think just outside the box – build one!
We’ve all heard the phrase, “Think outside the box.” It’s a great statement…a challenge really, to expand your thinking, to consider new options, new possibilities, new ways to approach a problem or opportunity. But there is a massive difference between a person who can think outside the box and one who can build a new box. New ideas, even good ones,[…]
The importance of your foundation and structure
When an earthquake hits, a building’s ability to stand, to survive the shaking, comes down to two key things: how strong is the foundation and how supported is the internal structure. If the foundation is deep, built on solid rock and not sand, that’s a good start. But engineers know that the supporting structure, the strength of the internal beams or[…]
Here’s the kind of double vision you need to have
I wear glasses – well I should say I HAVE glasses. I don’t wear them all that often. My lenses correct for two different things, reading up close and seeing things clearly at a distance. When it comes to interacting with people, let me suggest there are two different views, two different perspectives we need to have. We need[…]
Here’s a secret to mastering your fears
We all face fear. In many ways, fear is one of the most powerful influencers in your life. There’s the healthy kind of fear, like the kind that causes you to duck when you hear a loud bang, or you’re on the golf course, and someone shouts, “FORE!” Our built-in inclination for survival has given[…]
Why You’re More Prepared for a New Decade Then You Realize
My wife and I had the joy of spending Christmas in Atlanta with our oldest son David and his very pregnant wife Jeanna, along with our two other sons, their wives, and our three grandkids. We had a glorious, sometimes chaotic time together. It was awesome! David and JeJe (that’s what we affectionally call her), have a beautifully restored home built in 1930. One of[…]
