Introducing Sports Business Journal Publishing, a joint venture between Sports Business Journal and premier hybrid publisher Amplify Publishing Group.
About
Sports Business Journal
Publishing
Since its launch in 1998, Sports Business Journal has been recognized as the undisputed authority on the business of sports, producing award-winning daily and weekly content and hosting can’t-miss annual events for the industry’s top executives and thought leaders.
With the launch of its hybrid book publishing venture with partner Amplify Publishing Group, SBJ is giving its readers, contributors and followers the opportunity to amplify their ideas and tap into the network of one of the most iconic brands in the world of sports.
The SBJ Author Advantage
The Sports Business Journal publishing model combines the best elements of traditional and self-publishing. Authors publishing under the imprint will finance the editorial, design, printing and production and promotion of their books. In return, they retain all intellectual property and creative control of their work—and keep 85% of the revenue from sales.
SBJ authors also benefit from faster speed-to-market, allowing them to write and publish more timely and far-reaching content than they otherwise could.
The SBJ Publishing Process
Step 1: Submission Review
Whether it’s a working idea, formal book proposal or complete manuscript, SBJ’s publishing committee reviews every submission it receives within two weeks. If the concept brings a new idea, perspective or spin to the table, our team will be in touch to discuss opportunities. And if not, we’ll be in touch to point you in another direction.
Step 2: Publishing Services
If your book is accepted for publication, our team will work with you to develop a publishing plan that fits your content, goals and priorities. Because we adhere to a hybrid publishing model, each publishing agreement includes the following:
- Production Services
- Licensing Fee to Sports Business Journal
- Book Distribution
- Premium, Unparalleled Access to SBJ's Audience
Step 3: Customization
In addition to the basic elements, SBJ authors will have the opportunity to select from a list of additional publishing and book marketing-related services, including:
- Editorial Support: Concept development, developmental editing and ghostwriting.
- Book Marketing: From author platform development to pay-per-click advertising, book marketing ensures your launch is as seamless as possible.
- Book Publicity: A robust PR campaign designed to complement the SBJ marketing program and position your book for maximum exposure.
