TEALBEND PUBLISHING
ABOUT US
Tealbend Publishing is a cooperative effort between independent authors. It works by encouraging them to act as editors, proofreaders, and advertisers for one another. We help each other by editing the books written by our fellow writers. And once books are published, every member shares the announcement on their own social media accounts, increasing visibility. We hype each other up, and keep costs down for those of us who can’t afford to hire editors or pay for Facebook ads.
For authors who wish to make audiobook version of their published novels, we have our very own voice-over artist, Vesper Hayes. In exchange for a small share of the royalties of the audiobooks through ACX, she creates a narrative experience for listeners. With the ever-growing popularity of audiobooks, it is a market that writers should not dismiss. And though Vesper’s expertise is in romance, especially the steamy kind, she has experience recording fantasy novels as well, and is always willing to try new genres.
We welcome authors who are struggling to turn their passion for writing into a viable career. We are not a big publishing house that does all the editing, artwork, and marketing. We are a community, and everyone does their part to lift each other up. In exchange, our writers get a support network while they write and share their work with the world. Since Tealbend takes none of the royalties, the authors keep all their earnings. The only cost is returning the favour by editing and hyping up another member’s book.
