Professionals & faculty
You're a professional looking for ways to build and promote your brand. Having a book with your name on it provides additional credibility as an expert and a leading authority in your field, opening new opportunities for speaking engagements, guest lectures for educational programs, and media appearances. Depending on the subject, faculty can adopt your book for their classes, providing an ongoing revenue stream. A beautifully crafted book is a powerful component at this stage of your career, plus by sharing your experience and expertise you are paying it forward for future generations of professionals following in your footsteps.
But you're not a professional book person—you may never have written a book, much less dealt with publishing and related matters. Just like you probably need to hire an architect to design your custom home, you don't want to go it alone and put a book out there that looks homemade. We can help you over the finish line.
Rivershore Press specializes in crafting bespoke books for the experience design industry, particularly educational programs. We're respected as a leader in this niche, not because we happened to pick a lane to operate in, but because we love this field. We're known in this industry and have a roster of other professionals just like you who decided to capture their knowledge and insight and share it with others. Educational programs and faculty look to our catalog for resources they adopt for their classes. This field has tremendous need for textbooks and other materials, so that's a major focus for us.
Along with your website, stationery, business cards, and myriad other pieces that make up your business and brand, investing in your own book can be one of the most powerful, effective options to promote your goals. Some authors use their book to garner speaking engagements, even paying back their investment in one or two events. All of them sell books at their events, website, wherever. What a book means to you will vary amongst individuals—but it will always represent you in a powerful way. If you believe in your message, it's worth it to make it happen.
