All profits of the book will go to a charity of our choice. The book itself is not a revenue-sharing collaboration for the authors.Book #1 was 9.99 paperback and $14.99 hardcover. Amazon is responsible for the majority of book sales in America today and they have over 300 million active credit cards on file.Amazon determines the price based on the number of pages, shipping costs and other factors. Our intention is to price the book as close to wholesale as possible so that every author can order copies for near cost. Authors have to pay shipping costs unless they have the Amazon Prime free shipping program.

In general, what we learned in 28 years of teaching publishing and business strategy to authors is that collectors in America are only impressed with bestsellers from America. And collectors on other continents are not all that impressed with locally published books by local residents. BUT they do pay attention when told that the author was selected and became a bestseller with a publisher in America.Please DM us with your specific country if you have questions on how this works for international authors. We may do a global edition as well if there are enough authors.**Note: Book 1 took bestseller in 5 different countries

Each author retains copyright to their own contribution. You may publish your Creativity Hack on your blog, in your newsletter etc. Jess Hughes Media retains copyright to the anthology book as a whole and will be the publisher of record. You may not offer a pdf of the entire book for free as this violates Amazon’s terms of service because they are investing a lot of resources with every publisher and will take the book down when they discover that this is going on. (This does not include advance, unpublished proof copies to book reviewers and show producers). Amazon does not own your copyright, they are a printer and distributor.

No worries, you will by the time the book goes to press. One of your awesome bonuses are weekly trainings on “How to create income with your book” and we will walk you through it. The goal is that your chapter will have a working link that readers can go to by the time we go to press even if you don't have one now. If you are not interested in having a link at all, it is not necessary or required.

A professionally created, produced, formatted, and marketed book costs in the tens of thousands of dollars for labor, team members, outreach etc.Even a wildly amazing book, when sold at .99 (Kindle price for bestselling book launch), will not have all that much profit and we are not mailing checks for .39 cents or whatever every 30 days for years to 60+ different co-authors.It would be very silly and require a full time team member, which means we wouldn't be able to do this project at all.This is a labor of love for those of you who couldn’t join Illuminate full time and asked if you could at least have the creativity book part of it for a minimal cost.

Please DM Jess Hughes directly to book a 30 minute zoom chat to see if the Media Accelerator or Illuminate will give you the support you need.Media Accelerator is a 14 module self-guided course complete with templates, trainings, and everything you need to effectively pitch yourself to newspapers, TV, radio, podcasts, print magazines, and digital sources for the rest of your career.illuminate is Jess's 12 month close-knit group coaching mastermind that provides the ninja online business organic lead generation + marketing + strategy + media/pr training that Jess has created to go from zero to nearly a half million in revenue in 2 years (including well over 6 figures in art sales alone).This also includes Jess's super powerful ONEBizly software and the funnels, landing pages, automations, digital course hosting, CRM, and email campaigns that Jess uses in her own business.

Nope, this project is a personal development self-help book in black and white with a color cover like you see in bookstores.There will also be a Kindle reader version.The purpose of this book is to get out into the world as thought leaders that art collectors and future clients can respect.It will be published by Illuminated Publishing/Jess Hughes Media in order to help you get booked on podcasts, radio, TV, speaking stages, publications and other venues where you can build your fanbase and promote your art.Show producers do not care about your art. Producers and Show hosts care about interviewing published authors who can teach their audience something of value. And of course when thousands of people visit your website someone will sign up for your newsletter and buy your art.
