Our mission at GM Books is to provide a secure and supportive environment for either first-time or experienced authors who wish to see their manuscripts come to fruition rapidly and without the traditional delays or worse, abandonment of a property by a major publisher.
Founded in Los Angeles in 1983 by Anita and William Dorich, the company was formed to offer an alternative to hundreds of rejection letters, and the pitfalls of conventional publishing in which the author surrenders all creative and editing rights. Unlike the usual 10% royalty offered by major publishers, our authors receive more than 50% of the net proceeds from the sale of their book.
William Dorich brings to GM Books 20 years of printing experience and a background in commercial photography. As the author of 9 books, his own venture into Collaborative-publishing became the impetus for forming the company that has published over 500 titles receiving a Pulitzer and 7 Best Sellers. One of their titles has been optioned for a Television Series.
