Why Books are Good For Business
Writing and publishing a book is a great way of boosting your business.
Here are some benefits and ways to use your book:
- Build instant credibility – A book positions you as the expert in your field.
- Attract better clients – Pre-qualify and educate your ideal audience before they even speak to you.
- Open doors to new opportunities – Think speaking gigs, podcast interviews, media coverage and partnerships.
- Stand out in your industry – Especially in rural, regional or niche markets where not many have written a book.
- Leverage your existing knowledge – Turn your content, IP and experience into a tangible asset.
- Create a powerful lead magnet – Use your book to grow your email list or convert workshop attendees into clients.
- Offer extra value to customers – Give your book as a bonus, part of a package or client appreciation gift.
- Leave a lasting legacy – Document your insights, approach, or story for the next generation (and build brand trust while you’re at it).
- Scale your message – Reach more people without being in more places.
- Future-proof your business – Books can generate leads and build authority long after they’re launched.

F.A.Q.
Are there payment plans?
Yes, we can certainly offer payment plans, particularly for the larger packages.
We can split payments into two, three or even over 6 months or more.
Just email us to ask at hello@theruralpublishingcompany.com.au.
Do you take all authors and all works?
Not really! We still hand select authors and their manuscripts based on quality and what we believe has merit and will sell well.
We won’t publish anything derogratory or in poor taste – that’s for sure!
Our team assess manuscripts thoroughly before a publishing contract is offered.
Is there any marketing support?
Yes! As we also own The Rural Marketing Company – our team is well equipped to support you with marketing.
Some inclusions are provided – others can be an optional extra.
Why do you charge authors - rather than pay authors?
We are an assisted or supported self publishing company. Which means our team help you to turn your manuscript into a finished, printed book and eBook.
We are NOT a traditional publisher.
Traditional publishers do sometimes pay authors when they sign up an author. However, this is simply an upfront advance of your book sale royalties – and is getting far less common.
Traditional publishers also then OWN the rights to your work (so they control how it looks and reads) – and you only get a small percentage of your book sale profits.
Plus – it’s near impossible for new authors to get a traditional publishing contract, unless you have a huge audience and a literary agent.
With us, anyone with a quality manuscript can get published. Yes, you pay us to produce your book. We have a team of specialists who can get all the hard work done for you, with design, distribution, etc.
However, you retain the rights to your own work (you have final say over everything) AND you keep ALL of your book sale profits.
We do not take or keep any book sale commissions or charge any ongoing costs.
Will you get my book into bookstores?
Yes, and no.
We offer global distribution, which means we make your book available to bookstores globally.
This does not necessarily mean that every bookstore in the world will instantly choose to stock it however.
Yes, your book will feed out to Amazon, Booktopia, Barnes & Noble online and many other online services.
We can also provide guidance on further distribution and marketing avenues.
However, most newer authors will need to be prepared to do a lot of ‘leg work’ when it comes to marketing and getting your book stocked in stores.
Do I retain the rights to my own work?
Yes you do! Unlike a traditional publisher who essentially buys the rights to your work – meaning THEY have control over how it is published and what happens to it – with us as a hybrid publisher – YOU keep your rights and stay in full control.
Which also means, you get ALL of your book sale profits too!
The only thing our contracts stripulate is that we reserve the publishing rights for the first 12 months after publication.
How do I sell my finished book?
When publishing with us, we make your book available to bookstores globally, plus online services such as Amazon, Booktopia and Barnes & Noble online.
You can choose to only sell via these platforms OR you can also sell copies via your own website and social media.
We can assist with setting you up for success with all of this.
Just ask us how!
Do you produce audiobook versions of books too?
We can indeed. We have partnered up with a local audio company who can assist.
Feel free to get in touch with us for further information.
What happens if I have more or less words than the 60,000 in your packages?
That’s absolutely fine. The packages we list above are our standard packages that fit a lot of average sized books.
We do however customise packages to individual authors requirements.
If you have more than 60,000 words, then yes, we will adjust these packages to make sure our team can produce a quality result. Therefore, it might be a little more expensive to get through your editing and page layout.
If you have less than 60,000 words, then your package price may be slightly cheaper.
Make sure you chat to us first, to see what we can do for you.
What if I have several manuscripts or a series?
Get in touch with the team at hello@theruralpublishingcompany.com.au.
We can package up multiple manuscripts or a series into a more cost effective package.
Payment plans are available too.
