Lucid Interface Publishing

Publishing Nonfiction

Today you can have the right credentials, the right set of experiences, be a truly gifted writer, work hard - and come up empty. Without a marketing platform, meaning some form of preexisting public visibility, it is no longer possible for an author to submit his or her proposal for a work of general interest nonfiction with a realistic expectation that it will be read.

Publishing houses that began as family businesses interested in books as well as profit have undergone growth and merger, coming out the other side with eyes only on the bottom line. There is industry-wide unwillingness to take the occasional chance on a book by an unknown author. One of the most respected reference guides for writers today bluntly states that nonfiction authors who submit book proposals without a marketing platform are wasting their time.

At Lucid Interface, we challenge the traditional notions of the trade publishing industry. We bring to market the most exceptional works by the best authors, regardless of their pre-existing visibility in the marketplace.
