You pay, we publish, and you are officially published.

There is a submission fee of $20 that is required when you submit content. After the content has been accepted the remaining fee is a one-time fee of $279. That's all you'll ever have to pay to have your book sold through major book retailers.

Additionally, books sold through the Expanded Distribution Channel will have a different payment schedule than those sold through The Leadership Publishing Team’s website or store. Payment for these sales will take place within 60 days after the end of the month in which the sales were made which allow lag time for possible returns.
