PUBLISHING
Welcome to Badman Publishing
A Publishing Home for Independent Authors
What we are NOT...
We are not one of the plethora of agencies promising to write, publish and market your books to make you a market-leading author generating untold sales and income. Obviously, they are good at what they do in order to exist, but at the end of the day they are commercial, and usually expensive.
What we ARE...
We are an independent, not-for-profit, publishing community of authors and web/graphic designers for independent and aspiring authors of novels, non-fiction, and screenplays. Members can join us and access our free resources without cost or commitment.
