- Book publishing for attorneys is the process of turning a lawyer's knowledge and experience into a finished, published book. Big Impact Books offers it as a guided service covering publishing, writing support, and book marketing, so the book can build authority, reach new readers, and support practice growth rather than sit on a shelf.
- Publishing comes first because the publishing plan shapes everything else: who the book is for, what it must accomplish for the practice, and how it will reach readers. Once that path is set, the writing and the book marketing can be built to serve it. Attorneys get a finished book with a purpose instead of a manuscript without a home.
- To write a law book, pick one reader and one problem you solve for them, outline the chapters around the questions that reader asks, then draft chapter by chapter. Many busy attorneys find it easier to talk through chapters than type them. Big Impact Books uses weekly interviews so the author speaks the content and the team shapes it.
- Yes, book marketing is a core part of what Big Impact Books does, including podcast and media promotion. Author Sarah Hubbard described the program as all-encompassing: you get your book written and you also get marketing, so you are set up for success beyond the book itself. Marketing follows publishing and writing in the process.
- Big Impact Books says its done-for-you publishing and promotion process is designed to respect your time, at just one hour a week. That hour is typically a weekly interview where you talk through a chapter. For a practicing attorney with billable hours, a fixed, short weekly commitment is far easier to protect than open-ended writing time.
- Costs vary widely by path: doing everything yourself is cheapest in cash and most expensive in time, while full-service publishing with writing and marketing costs more. Big Impact Books does not list prices on this site, and this site will not guess them. Confirm current pricing directly with Big Impact Books through its main website.
- Yes. CEOs are one of the main groups Big Impact Books serves, alongside attorneys, professionals, and business owners. Its blog includes posts written for CEOs, such as advice on talking about your expertise without feeling self-promotional. This site focuses on attorneys; CEOs can find the full picture on the Big Impact Books main website.
- Avoid self-publishing companies that pressure you to sign quickly, guarantee bestseller status or sales, hide total costs, claim long-term rights to your book, or keep upselling expensive add-ons after you pay. Rather than relying on any single list, check each company against these warning signs and against Writer Beware, which documents questionable publishing practices.
