Independent Publishing, or "Vanity Publishing" is an exciting business used by authors who either do not want to or cannot publish their books through large publishing houses. It is rare for an unestablished author to have their work published by a major publisher. Therefore, these authors seek out independent or "Vanity Publishers." The independent publisher profits are derived by printing and binding the authors works. The independent publisher is responsible for coordinating the printing and binding of the books through traditional printing companies. There is no need for the independent publisher to have a journalistic background. Any editing or proofreading requested by the author can easily be outsourced. These added services are also a good source of additional revenues. Other than the actual printing, all work is done electronically or by phone. The skills needed for this business are computer and internet savvy, advertising, and marketing.

Facilities: Currently, the business is operated out of the owners home. All that is required is enough space for computers, printers and some storage. This business can easily be relocated anywhere the new owner desires.

Competition: This is a niche business and the competition is limited. The market for independent publishers such as this is growing rapidly. It is extremely difficult for unestablished authors to have a large publishing house publish their work. The growth potential is unlimited.

Growth/Expansion: The current owner has done very little marketing and advertising to increase business. The new owner could easily grow this business dramatically with a marketing and advertising effort. There is a huge number of authors seeking out independent publishers to print their books. Offering cover and back design, editing, and proofreading can increase revenues. These services can be easily be outsourced.
