For the writer, it all starts with a dream... For many writers, "getting published" seems like the biggest hurdle. And it's no wonder! Roughly 1 in 14,000 manuscripts submitted to traditional publishers actually gets published. When a writer gets accepted, instead of rejected, oh, the joy. It's a dream come true. The disappointment comes later. See, nine out of ten traditionally published books fail to pay back production costs. About 10% are actually profitable. So, the author needs to take on promotion of their book. That's a lot of work (and cost) for the standard 5-15% royalty that traditional publishers offer new authors.

In ancient Polynesia, "Tikis" were the huts where the people met with the chiefs, oracles and gods to discuss and solve problems. A little "help from the gods" so to speak. Tiki gods, that is. Given the state of the traditional publishing industry, we felt a spell in the Tiki was desperately in order. Thus, TikiBooks was born. A small Indie Publisher, we strive to be the clearing in the jungle where sanity prevails, and books are mystical and magical once again. Mostly, we publish our own hand selected titles. But if you're a brand new author, we'll help if we can, and where we can. Of our readers, we ask only this; Trust in our imprint. We hand pick our authors, not by their name, but by the heart, skill & talent they put into their writing. Read our books. We think you'll be glad you did. Of writers, we ask only this; Write good books!
