Welcome to Eckhart Aurelius Publishing
Eckhart Aurelius Publishing is a premium author-owned book publishing company known for its ultra-strict high-quality standards that ensure all books published under its brand are of utmost quality. We focus on thorough professional editing to polish all books before release, along with extensive beta-reading and pre-release editorial reviews to ensure we only release top-notch, thoroughly vetted books.
We use only the absolute best cover designers, audiobook producers, and book formatters to ensure each and every single we book we release is of award-winning, one-in-a-billion quality.
Millions of new books are published each year alone. In this new world in which anyone can self-publish anything and call it a book, Eckhart Aurelius Publishing prides itself on being known as a luxury brand you can trust.
99% of marketing is product development, but we also do not cut corners on the other 1% either. We invest heavily in advertising and promoting the amazing books we publish before they even release to ensure every single book we publish quickly becomes a massive bestseller.
In addition to publishing books, we also offer à la carte premium services to other publishing companies and self-publishing authors so they can release books under their own brands but still with our extreme premium quality. Services include:
- High-Quality Professional Editing
- Premium Book Cover Design
- Beta-Reading and Beta-Review Services
- Pre-Release Editorial Reviews
- High-Quality Luxurious Book Design and Formatting
- Assistance with Printing and Distribution
Join & Get Published
Eckhart Aurelius Publishing functions in practice as a non-profit author co-op. All would-be profits are distributed as royalties to the authors whose books we publish, enabling us to pay much higher royalties than traditional publishers. All authors whose books we publish get an equal vote in the running of the company and are eligible to be elected to the Board of Advisors. To have your book published by us, you must buy-in at a rate of either $30,000 USD (economy), $50,000 USD (standard), or $250,000 USD (diamond).
All buy-in levels include ultra-premium cover design, multiple rounds of professional editing, beta reviews, editorial reviews, audiobook production, book formatting, and intense marketing and promotion.
The $50k Standard Level also includes Book of the Month at our partner site, OnlineBookClub.org, and a homepage feature at EckhartAurelius.org.
The $250k Diamond Level includes everything in Standard and Economy as well as one year of management, consultation, and personal assistance from Eckhart Aurelius Hughes (a.k.a. Scott Hughes) and an international book tour with Eckhart Aurelius Hughes to destinations of your choosing. This will involve Eckhart Aurelius Hughes himself helping plan and promote your book tour and overall book marketing strategy. He will read your book and work with you one-on-one both in-person and over the phone to plan, advise, partner, and cooperate to make your book a success. Please note, for the book tour, you will be responsible for arranging and paying for your own flights and lodging, but we can also do that for you for an extra fee if you don't want to deal with the hassle of booking flights and hotels. If you do not want to do a tour at all, that is also fine, and we can do the in-person promotion ourselves without you, such as having Eckhart Aurelius Hughes go to book stores and book expos on your behalf to promote the book.
The Economy option is limited to only 100 authors per year. The Standard option is limited to only 12 authors per year. And the Diamond option is limited to only 3 authors per year max.
To buy in, you must first pay a non-refundable $1,000 downpayment to reserve your spot. Then, the remaining balance can be sent via wire transfer, cashier's check or money order. The remaining balance must be paid within 90 days to be guaranteed to keep your spot reserved.
