This award-winning author had been published by other houses in the past, but she wanted to work with someone who would be more involved with the writing and promotion of her newest book.
She signed a contract with us in which we paid all up-front costs of this book, and she received a royalty for every book sold. Many of her books, however, were sold by her at book fairs and personal appearances to libraries and other public and private venues. For these sales, we shared the profits on a 50-50 basis.
We also worked with her on getting reviews and helping her promote the book on-line, through her websites, at book fairs, and other personal appearances.

Here's an example of a book written for a specific purpose - to be handed out free to inmates in county jails and residents of alcoholic and drug rehab facilities.
More than 1,000 of these books are given out each year by True Freedom Ministries, which is funded by donations from churches and individuals.
Maybe you're a business or agency that would like to publish a book about the history of your company or one that tells the stories of successful employees or a hardcover of best practices in your market or catchment area.

This book was written by a Christian psychotherapist who uses it for workshops and seminars he gives in several states.
If you are a workshop presenter, a teacher who wants to publish his or her own book for classes, or someone who wants something to leave behind after a sales presentation (for example), a hardcover or paperback book may be just the thing.
Handouts are OK, but a printed book gives a much more professional image. The benefit of working with Pyramid Publishers is that you don't need to print a thousand copies of your book. We offer POD (Print on Demand) printing in which you can order exactly the number of books you need at any point and pay the same price for 10 books as you would for 1,000.

This author has a number of followers who are interested in his preaching and teaching. He publishes books for them but isn't much interested in promoting them to a larger audience. He had worked with self-publishing houses in the past, but they were not responsive, transparent, or forthcoming. Plus, they kept telling him they needed more money to print his book.
A minister in a local church told Allen's nephew that Pyramid Publishers would be a better fit because the owner was a committed Christian and would not rip him off. This was the first in a series of six books Allen Linn has had published with us. When we deliver the finished books to him, his response is generally something like, "This book turned out much better than I ever thought it would."

When Sue called me to to ask about my publishing an illustrated book on nature for her family, especially the grandchildren, she used terms like, "You probably can't help me; I don't know where to start; This is a crazy idea but I just wanted to check with you if there's any way you could pull this together." She sent me 26 water color illustrations and the copy she had written so far.
I called her back and said, "We can do this." She was beyond excited, and so we talked on the phone many times and exchanged a plethora of emails as I coached her on how to get me a jpeg copy of all the illustrations, changes needed in the copy (I helped with editing), and all the other pieces needed to publish a book. It was a we project.
The book is now published and she has 50 copies for her family. When she received her first 5 copies, she told me she wakes up every morning and looks at her book, amazed and proud that she now has a published book and her own ISBN number. This was a fun project for both of us.

This is an example of a family biography and genealogy. Ida Lantto Schroeder was the matriarch of a close-knit family. Her son promised himself he'd publish this book one day but never got around to it. Over a golf round with the owner of Pyramid Publishers, he came to realize we were the solution to his promise.
Because this was a labor of love, the son wanted only the best, which meant a hardcover book with a jacket cover. The genealogy pages were especially difficult to get everything to match up vertically in the right generation. It was a layout specialist's nightmare, but she was up to the task and everything lined up perfectly in the end.
When the book was ready for printing, he ordered 30 copies that he distributed to members of his family who proudly placed them in a their book-shelves of treasured books.
