Have you been an author in a collaborative book project? You know, those books where multiple authors each contribute a chapter or section to a book with a shared theme. These have been around for years and can be great business-builders for everyone involved. In fact, these have become so popular that many self-publishing companies are offering “special” packages for printing. Unfortunately, these specials come with minimum order requirements that end up with authors left with boxes of books taking up space in their garage and no idea what to do with them.

Here at Vervante, we love collaborative books! And we always want to make sure your publishing experience is both productive and profitable. So we're set it up to make it easy for every author to order as many copies they need, whenever they need them, from their own individual author accounts. No minimum orders required. Here’s how it works:

1. One author sends us the book files and cover art to create the book in our system.
2. We then add the finished book to that author’s account.
3. Next, the rest of the contributing authors create their own free Vervante accounts, then send us an email with their username and title of the book.
4. We add the book to their account, giving them to ability to log in and order how many they need, when they need it.
5. Each author is only charged the price of printing the book plus actual postage. Just the same as we do with all of our customers, for all of our products!

The same goes for information products. Or any other product you co-create with others as well. No matter what you’re creating, or how many authors are contributing to it, we know that flexibility and profitability are important to you. This is why we continue to offer customized solutions like these to ensure your publishing experience is exceptional.
