Synopsis

Climb Out of the Cubicle is Amber’s story about quitting her life to travel the world. Even after she honorably served in the military, graduated from college, earning a prestigious government job everyone envied, and getting accepted into The Johns Hopkins University for grad school, Amber longed for something more untraditional. So, she became a “digital nomad,” someone who travels the world while running their businesses from their laptop. Two years in, Amber had a mental breakdown. She moved back to her hometown and figured out life all over again.

Similar titles

  • You Are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life by Jen Sincero (Perseus Books, 2013) Sincero approaches self-help with humor, personal stories, and encouragement. Her stories show you that you, too, can make changes in your life, even when it’s messy. Climb Out of The Cubicle uses many of these same techniques, most focusing on anecdotes and humor to show the reader my personal journey of personal development via making bold changes in my life.
  • The Crossroads of Should and Must by Elle Luna (Workman Publishing Company, 2015) Luna expresses her creativity through art and design. While I won’t be using handmade sketches in my book, thematically, both Climb Out of The Cubicle and Luna’s book align. There are two choices to make: either you continue down the road of what you’ve been doing your whole life and following society’s expectation, or you create a path and follow your gut.

Audience

This book is targeted towards millennials and Gen-Xers who have done “all the right things:” went to college, got a job, and waited to have the happiness and fulfillment promised in childhood and still want to make a change in their lives.

Cranthorpe Millner

250 copies • Partial manuscript.
Cranthorpe Millner operates a hybrid publishing model. This means, should an author pass our editors’ strict filtering system, we can offer different kinds of agreements depending on the author and the manuscript. With some authors, we work under a ‘traditional’ model, whereby we cover the full cost of publication and the author is offered industry-standard royalties (8-10%). To some authors, we offer what we call a partnership or contributory agreement, whereby the author is asked for a financial contribution so that we may share the risk and enter into a partnership together to publish the author’s book. In this case, the author receives around 60-75% royalties.

1106 Design, LLC

Dear Author,

You worked hard to write your manuscript; finally, it's ready to release. You know that expert assistance is needed, but perhaps you didn’t realize that working with a publisher is no longer necessary—especially publishers who charge fees to produce your book upfront and "share" more of your revenue whenever a book is sold.

1106 Design is an author services company. We offer all the editorial and design services you’d expect from a publisher, transforming your manuscript into a market-ready book. But here's the difference: we help you secure print-on-demand printing and worldwide distribution in your name. This means you earn several dollars more for every book sold instead of a meager “royalty.”

We understand that your book is not just a passion project but also a potential source of income. That's why we offer a range of services tailored to your needs at affordable prices. Depending on your manuscript's word count and complexity, our packages range from $4,000 to $10,000. And here's the best part: after this one-time investment, every penny of net revenue from book sales goes directly to you, never to us.

If this sounds like a better way to publish your book, I invite you to browse our services, design samples, no-surprises pricing, outstanding customer reviews, and educational articles at https://1106design.com. You can download a free PDF of my book, "Publish Like the Pros: A Brief Guide to Quality Self-Publishing and an Insider's Look at a Misunderstood Industry," and request a free, no-obligation consultation.

1106 Design has been in business since 2001 and is rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau. We are a “Highly Recommended Expert” at IngramSpark.com and rated "Excellent" at Alli, The Alliance for Independent Authors, at SelfPublishingAdvice.org, where you can find a "watchdog list" of the best and worst publishing services companies.

How can we serve you today?

Sincerely,
Michele DeFilippo, owner
