Bella Tulip Publishing @BellaTulipPubs

When I decided to ghostwrite my deceased husband’s stories, I wanted to go with a publisher. But, from past experience, I knew it would be impossible to go with a traditional publisher. So, I was very fortunate to find Creativia Publishing. I’ve been with them for several years now, and it was the best choice I made. I’ve even referred some of my author friends to them. I feel, in this day and age, a small, independent publisher is where indie authors need to go. Unfortunately, they have temporarily quit taking submission from new authors.

Not to fret. I just heard about a new independent publisher called Bella Tulip Publishing. Since I have never tried them, I cannot endorse them, but you can find out about them below.

Bella Tulip Publishing is now live and accepting submissions for contemporary literature, romance, paranormal, sci-fi, and fantasy.

Hi Sahara Foley

I read how you became introduced to the publishing world with great interest.

Just to be totally clear, is Creativa Publishers a self-publishing business or do they offer publishing services ie editing, publicity promotions?

I came across your piece while researching Bella Tulip Publishing for my own work. I read that you’ve not worked with them personally but you consider them reputable. Is that still the case? It was not clear (to me, at least) if Bella Tulip Pub is a self- publishing company or a publisher that accepts manuscripts.

I do hope that you can make time to drop me a line, however brief.

Like your husband, I have a dozen novels in the basement.

Thanks, Sahara,

  Hello Christian,
  
  Creativia is an indie press. They do state they edit books, but they really don’t. I found out the hard way I had to pay for my own editing. A lot of their books that depend on Creativia for editing had lots of proofreading errors. But, they will do promotions. Their problem is they are not transparent with your royalities. Towards the end, they cheated me out of money. So, I left.
  
  As for Bella, I’ve still never dealt with them, so I can’t vouch for how they treat their authors. Self-publishing is a hard road with lots to learn. But, it can also be very fulfilling.
  
  If you hang around on FB, look into the 20booksto50K group. You will learn tons of stuff about marketing and quite a few of the members make 6 figures a year. It can be done.
  
  Good luck in your publishing career.
