Résumé to Serve KodelParty.us
Oregon 2nd District
We are an exclusive publishing house with a global reach & personal touch. As an elegant, independent (indie) publisher, we only sign a few blue ribbon authors a year covering most genres.
Going forward, we are now increasing this number, somewhat. We are adopting a case-by-case basis.
Read the Universal desire page.
We've been in business for 20+ years. We currently have 22 authors under contract with nearly 200 titles under the Kodel umbrella in print, e-books & audiobooks.
Most clients have multiple books with us.
We endeavor to bridge the gap between self-publishing and mainstream publishing, by offering highly rewarding & affordable services.
The key of course, is to get your book out there. If no one knows your book even exists, however will they buy it?
If you don't understand this basic concept, please move along. We're not the right fit.
We work hard to find your global readership. That's where our true expense is focused. We maximize your marketing budget with our expertise & micro-targeting. Just know, we can work with any ad budget, but it MUST BE CONSISTENT: WEEKLY, MONTHLY, QUATERLY, or, ANNUALLY.
There are no guarantees. We haven't any idea if your tipping point will ever materialize. But it's never inappropriate to invest in yourself, to a point.
OUR GLOBAL REACH COST MONEY!
We are a for profit business.
It is not our business model to fund your dreams!
Make Sense?
We will only share in your royalties once we reach equilibrium. This means if you spend $1500 in marketing, which allows us to help find your global readership, once sales generate royalties, of $1500, only then will we share. Our ad/royality rate is 20% leaving you 80%! Main Street publishing houses only give you scraps, usually 7% of gross receipts.
Scholastic gave a destitute J.K. Rowling a slick check for $1500! She's now the richest woman in the UK, worth billions!!
As an example: 10 top countries x $5 a day, per country, x 30 days = $1500. We have access to hundreds of countries. Baby steps. We hope to let your royalties fund your marketing reinvestments, as we grow your audience.
Please open a Zelle account with your bank. This is how we pay out royalties and receive your ad dollars. It's FREE service!

KodelEmpire.com namely The Kodel Publishing Group, LLC (Oregon) charges $0.00 to publish your work as both, a printed book AND an eBook, but we only accept quality manuscripts (MS) in final print-ready format (Microsoft WORD) and you damn well best come with a committed ongoing advertising budget, or don't bother.
Have your editing complete. Print ready means PRINT READY.
Of course, if you require a cover, formatting, we will charge you! Time is money. Nothing gets published with our TKG logo on it, unless it's perfect, and an excellent read.
Face it, you're not Hemingway. So don't get in your own way. And don't get in ours. We have an entire section on how we manage divas!
But we do publish work if the message warrants. Read Addicted to Dimes by Catherine Lyon, for example. We did not polish it up by design. Her story of gambling addiction & recovery, was best told in her own unvarnished truths! We did however, make a disclaimer on her back jacket. Readers really appreciated this caliber of honesty.
Doesn't matter how good you "think" your book is, if nobody knows it even exists. Making this point again, so you understand how necessary advertising is. Make sense?
You have to commit to our serious efforts!
Otherwise, don't bother dreaming of ever becoming a celebrated author.
Period. FULL Stop.
