FIVE Press has revolutionized book publishing - from the
author's standpoint. Our Entrepreneurial Publishing™ model
enriches authors as well as the company.
Actively working with authors to help them not only maximize revenue from their book royalties, but also build new business and increase their revenue substantially through follow-on sales to their readers.
Why FIVE Press?
There are many skills and talents required to become a successful business, leadership, or motivational speaker. When coaching athletes, executives and professional speakers, we talk about building their brand, presentation skill, working with speaker bureaus and running it like a business. And if you were going to start a professional speaking career tomorrow, the very first thing we would recommend is to write a book. Why? Because a book does five specific things for a speaking career:
Why are we doing an imprint vs. starting our own publishing company?
Over the years we have worked with many fine publishing companies (and occasionally some that were not so fine…). We have listened to our speakers/authors and our own experiences. We came to the conclusion that the time was now and the company to partner with was Morgan James Publishing. This process will engage with you, our client, in ways you didn’t think was possible.
This is how publishing should work and we are thrilled to be able to bring a new wave of talent to an established publishing partner.

Because a book does five specific things for a speaking career:
- It increases your credibility. You become an expert when you are an author.
- It focuses your brand. Most professional speakers are not well-positioned in the marketplace. Books help create your position.
- It enables real behavior change. Integrating your ideas into the lives of the audience happens more effectively with repetition. The book creates that opportunity.
- It creates professional speaking opportunities. They may forget your name, but if they have a book they are dramatically more likely to remember you when they’re hiring a keynote speaker in the future.
- Oh yeah, you generate more revenue! If you could make more money in the same amount of time, wouldn’t you want to do that?
