Frequently asked questions
- 01
We are looking to publish books related to project management that are accessible, practical, fun, and innovative. We are NOT looking to publish academic theory filled with jargon and ten dollar words, rigid one-size-fits all processes, or methods that Albert Einstein would struggle with. We would like our books to be immediately useful and helpful for those new to the world of projects. Therefore, plain, simple language is best. Humor can't hurt. Handy "real world" tips and techniques are awesome.
Our product lines are:
Standalone full length books and ebooks
Project Guru Playbooks (short, action-oriented guides focused on a specific topic)
Project Guru Insight Guides (short guides filled with tips and techniques from a unique perspective)
Project Guru Case Studies (short case study examples that highlight a problem, solution, challenges, approaches, lessons, and results)

Once we are open to submissions, we will post more information here. For now, suffice it to say we will require a one-page query letter, and if interested we will ask for a full proposal, including an overview, platform/audience, author biography, chapter outline, and two sample chapters.
- 03
We do not charge fees to publish books. Like all traditional book publishing companies, we earn a profit when we sell books to readers through our distribution channels and marketing campaigns. Likewise, the author is expected to participate in helping to market and publicize the book if they wish it to be successful.

We do not currently offer advances on royalties.

We offer royalties consistent with traditional business publishers. More information will be posted when we are open for submissions.
