About Us

Idea Creations Press assists writers from idea to creation, and even further if they choose. We help with writing, publishing and marketing efforts including, mentoring, editing, ghostwriting, book creation and future marketing efforts.

How We Got Started

I became the publisher I'd dreamt of finding. I wanted a publisher that cared about me over the money they were able to put into their own pockets. Today, I serve authors in the ways I always wanted to be served.

My first book was published in 2002. It's called A River of Stones. It seems like forever ago and just yesterday. (more) My first book was published in 2002. It's called A River of Stones. It seems like forever ago and just yesterday.

Things change once summer hits. I work at a school the rest of the year, so writing then is hit or miss.

During the summer I work on first drafts, book finalizations, new projects (where just an idea has come), marketing, or meeting with a client (I also have a publishing business). I also have time to answer questions like this one and to connect with the writing community online. I love summers for all of the time have to focus on what I love best!

As a publishing services company, it is important for us to be where the authors are. We give writing and marketing seminars throughout the year at local writer groups. While at these groups we leave information and give a short summary of our business.  (more) As a publishing services company, it is important for us to be where the authors are.

There are two of us that run our business, my wife and I. If one of us were incapacitated, we would struggle, but we could make it. Our business is not really physical.

I have taken on 'nightmare' clients before. This is what I've learned.  Your contract needs to be specific or some clients will take advantage of your good nature. Even after what you will and will not do is spelled out in a contract, 'nightmare' clients may still try to take advantage, but at... (more) I have taken on 'nightmare' clients before. This is what I've learned.  Your contract needs to be specific or some clients will take advantage of your good nature. Even after what you will and will not do is spelled out in a contract, 'nightmare' clients may still try to take advantage, but at least you have something in black and white to refer to. I would decide if the stress is worth the money before taking them on.

When I am a part of a writer's conference I am able to promote my books one-on-one in person. This seems to be the best promotion for me thus far. I make a connection and the person buys a book or takes a business card or both.  (more) When I am a part of a writer's conference I am able to promote my books one-on-one in person.
