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.

“Having worked with more than five traditional publishing houses in the publication of more than ten of my books, I decided to take the leap into the hybrid publishing model offered by HigherLife. I have been blown away by their service, their attention to detail, and their rapid response to questions … it will be hard to ever expect anything less. Likewise, the active role they took in the marketing and design of the book, from start to finish, has exceeded my expectations.”
“I have been working with HigherLife for several years. They have done an exceptional job with the creative work of all of my publications. I am very pleased with the work, the care, the follow-up, and the response time. If you need creative help for your job, whatever it might be, I would strongly recommend HigherLife!”
“I am so grateful to have been able to work with the team at Higher Life. They really went the extra mile to ensure my project was completed with the greatest quality and attention to detail.

"I want all to know just how amazing the HigherLife team is. As a first-time author, I was masterfully led through uncharted territory into a place of confidence and success for both my book and the necessary re-branding of our non-profit. HigherLife was committed to our success on every front, challenging us to “think outside the box” and creatively flourish. We listened and we did!"
“The thought of developing a new image and website for my business was daunting. HigherLife gave me suggestions and ideas that lead to a new, professionally-designed website, and a new identity and look for marketing my business. The HigherLife team is gifted with insight and ideas that helped my business move to the next level.”
“Thanks to your help, I am inundated with invitations to sell and sign books. I am learning Facebook and Twitter…imagine that at my age! People are coming out of the woodwork and I am asking them to share their friends list…AND THEY ARE! THIS IS EXCITING! I feel like a kid in a candy store.”
“David Welday’s marketing assistance gives our books the sales boost we need. His partnership not only significantly generates author sales, but collaterally increases trade sales as well. A win all the way around!”
