\"LPCLPC Books is<\/strong><\/em> Lighthouse Publishing of the Carolinas. Because Lighthouse Publishing of the Carolinas\u00a0is a mouthful to say and because there are several Lighthouse Publishing<\/a> firms<\/a>, we are\u00a0slowly trying to rebrand our\u00a0name. \u00a0LPC Books is short and defines what we do – publish books.<\/p>\n

Many\u00a0authors may not realize that LPC is\u00a0a ministry <\/strong><\/em>and affiliated with Christian Devotions Ministries<\/a>. Book publishing is not<\/strong> a gold mine. I’m reminded of what my friend Ron Benrey told me years ago. “Want to know how to make a little money in the publishing business?” he asked. “Start with a lot of money.”<\/p>\n

Some authors\u00a0assume that their\u00a0publisher makes a ton of money off their book, but that simply is not the case. At least not with LPC. Our authors and editors receive the first\u00a075% of all revenue. Of\u00a0the remaining 25%, we\u00a0pay for design, marketing, and general overhead, (web hosting, domain names, production manager’s\u00a0salary, etc). If I, as the publisher, end up with 10% of the revenue at the end of any given month I feel blessed.<\/p>\n

Why launch\u00a0a\u00a0Go Fund Me campaign?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Finding qualified managing editors is difficult. They don’t just fall out of the sky. Especially given our business model. (Editors and MEs earn their salary on royalty\u00a0sales, just like our authors. For this reason, our MEs and editors must be confident\u00a0that the title on which they work\u00a0will sell — and sell well. : ) To find qualified managing editors we need to advertise\u00a0on job sites.<\/p>\n

Launching new imprints takes money. New imprints need:\u00a0domain names, web site development, branding, logos, marketing help, etc.<\/p>\n

Dr. Dennis Hensley<\/a>, Professor of Professional Writing at Taylor University, will often recommend\u00a0his students to serve as interns with LPC. We’re trying to help college students gain experience within the book publishing\u00a0industry, and it’s unfair to Doc’s students to run a slip-shod internship program. Much better to have a professional in charge. We don’t make money training interns, but it’s one way we give back to the industry and try to make positive\u00a0changes.<\/p>\n

Finally, we would\u00a0still like to build a street-level sales team. We are unsure of how large an investment\u00a0this may require, but as with making films, we know it will cost more than we expect.<\/p>\n

Our 2017 goals are:<\/span><\/p>\n

* Launch\u00a0three new fiction imprints
\n* Add\u00a0four\u00a0new managing editors<\/a>
\n* Grow\u00a0our editor internship program
\n* Build a\u00a0street-level sales team<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0that works\u00a0independent of Amazon’s shadow
\n* Begin production of our first film<\/p>\n
