Low Down Publishing presents an exclusive, 2-Day live virtual event:
Even with millions of books to choose from... finding the right book to use can be a tall order.
Perhaps you rely on the same method books year-after-year, even though you're not fully satisfied with them.
Instead of picking up the book with inspiration, there's always a caveat:
"This is the most thorough book, but WOW is it dry!"
You're the flexible type who can get by with it, but that doesn't stop you from providing supplements, writing in new fingerings, or even using the book in a different order.
Or maybe, the book just doesn't exist.
Instead, you've got a mountain of notes and Sibelius handouts because you've needed to create the resources from scratch.
You'd like to organize them all into one central book — someday — but who has the time for that?
(Or perhaps you're not there yet... but you're sure ready to write!)
Either way, you have a vision.
On multiple occasions, you have definitely thought, "I've got an idea that can definitely help people!"
And if only people would see your ideas, they'd love them.
...so what's holding you back from publishing?
Maybe it's a lack of time and energy.
Teaching and performing is already taxing enough. Create additional stress by trying to publish a great book?
Who has time for that?
And then there's the actual process:
Brainstorming, drafting, multiple rounds of editing, layout design, artwork, notation engraving, proofs, copyright registrations, distribution, advertising, getting reviews, press releases, sending out promo copies...
Where do you even begin with so many steps? And what if you skip a step and make a mistake? How do you know you're going through the process the most efficient way?
And when it's done, how do people find out about it? It's not just as simple as putting a post on Social Media — you need a comprehensive strategy.
(In other words, if you've finished your book and then started thinking about marketing, you are already way behind the ball.)
While the thought of seeing your name on a book is awesome, it's easy to get discouraged and end up back at square one...
Using books you don't fully love, or lugging around your mountain of handouts.
But what if you could find a way to actually make your book idea a reality... not just something that lives in your head?
A book that could lead to:
... you gaining ideal private students
... collaboration opportunities
... increased credibility in your area of expertise
What if you could finally create the book that you know will help serve your musical community... with a clear path from the initial concept to creation?
Would you give yourself that chance?
While we formally established our business in 2019, CEO Danny Ziemann first started publishing in 2014 with his book The Low Down (originally published by the Institute for Creative Music).
After years of navigating the self-publishing space, Danny realized how few resources were available for musicians looking to put their ideas into print.
Thus, Low Down Publishing was born — a publishing resource created for musicians, by musicians.
And we're excited to share more about what your publication could do for your and your career.
Why should you trust us to help you?⤵
We've been self-publishing for the last seven years and coaching authors through the publishing process. And truthfully, there aren't as many musicians who actively teach, perform, and publish. Here's a shortlist of our qualifications...
Most important, we know what authors need to create successful books...
And we've done it A LOT of times.
In our Publishing Intensive, we'll guide you through the steps so you can be on the way to sharing your ideas with the world.
→ You think books are outdated tools (even though book sales continue to be at an all-time high, especially in academic settings)
→ You're satisfied with the status-quo and have nothing to contribute to the conversation
→ You've already a NY Times best-selling author
