Hybrid Model: Greenleaf operates on a model where authors pay a fee for publishing services (editorial, design, printing, marketing, and distribution), typically ranging from $10,000 to $250,000, while retaining all rights to their book.
Strong Distribution: The company is a master distributor to major bookstores, airports, and specialty retailers across the US, with international distribution partners as well.
Key Partnerships: Greenleaf has established notable imprints, including “Fast Company Press” in partnership with Fast Company magazine, and “An Inc. Original” with Inc. magazine.
Success Metrics: Many books published by Greenleaf have become New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestsellers.
Submission Process
Authors can submit proposals or manuscripts via the company’s website. The selection process is highly competitive, as Greenleaf accepts less than 10 percent of the submissions it receives.
