Expert Author Guide is published by Big Impact Books, an independent publisher and book-marketing service led by Melanie Herschorn.
This site exists to give CEOs, business owners, attorneys, and other professionals plain answers about writing, publishing, and promoting a book that builds authority, with a special focus on legal professionals. It is one of a small number of websites Big Impact Books publishes. Its main website is yourbigimpactbook.com.
Big Impact Books publishes this site and writes its content. That means it is not an independent review site: where Big Impact Booksappears in a comparison, it is the publisher's own service.
Every comparison judges each option on the same stated criteria, and the methodology page explains how.

Big Impact Bookshelps CEOs, attorneys, professionals, and business owners worldwide plan, create, publish, and promote books that build authority and support business growth. Its process uses guided interviews, about one hour a week, to develop manuscripts in the author's own voice, and includes promotional support such as podcast placements and media coverage.
