About Brian Schwartz

Our mission: To bridge the gap between self-publishers and traditional publishing by applying proven strategies and techniques of successful independent publishers.Our measure of success is determined by the success of our clients. Established in 2009, we leverage our experience to produce a result that rivals or surpasses the quality of the majority of books self-published today. As the competition grows, the bar on quality continues to rise. Our Bestseller Blueprint is a framework we’ve been continually refining. It’s the ‘secret sauce’ that allows our authors to publish bestsellers, garner rave reader reviews, and in some cases produce 6-figure incomes. The cornerstone of our evidence-based practice is AuthorDock, a web-based project accelerator designed to put a strategic plan into action and turn your vision into reality. More than just an issues tracker, it contains the core elements of accomplishment; deadlines, ownership, processes, metrics, and transparency. Everything is contained in searchable tool that provides instant access the data you need when you need it.Building your platform and expanding your visibility online is accomplished through PubWriter, a search-engine optimized website digital publishing framework that allows you to write locally and publish globally. As an author, you have an advantage over most businesses: a treasure trove of content. PubWriter helps you leverage that content to drive more for a dynamic digital publishing expert to speak to your group on the topic of publishing?“The book business is changing dramatically and exponentially and Brian is ahead of the curve. He was very generous in sharing his expertise and he alerted us about pitfalls to avoid. As an author and publisher he is a shining example of someone who knew what he wanted to do and then did it, expeditiously, successfully and efficiently.” – Nancy Mills, Past President, Colorado Independent Publishers AssociationI have been speaking professionally and teaching workshops on digital publishing since 2009.
