| Having written and self-published eight books over the past three years, Mike Buchanan is now starting to hold discussions with writers seeking a publisher to help them with the elements of publishing which they don’t wish to carry out themselves; in some cases, because they don’t have the time available. |
 |
| While LPS currently only promotes Mike Buchanan’s books and doesn’t plan to promote other writers’ books, it can offer many of the other services which leading commercial publishers offer. The following services are offered on a contractual basis i.e. writers cover all the costs involved in the book publishing project as well as paying a management fee to LPS. A number of the services are provided by the same freelancers and suppliers Mike uses himself: |
