Why Alliance Book Company?

Experience- Founder and President, Leslie Burley, has been in the book business for over twenty years and has been working with several of the above above companies for nearly that long. Alliance Book Company celebrates its ten-year anniversary this year.

Getting results- As Sales Manager for an independent publisher, Mrs. Burley tripled their sales by acquiring major new accounts. With Alliance, she increased publisher clients' sales by getting their books into new markets that were previously unattainable.

Better understanding of publishers' needs- Having worked for an independent publisher for eleven years and been on the publishing end of distribution, Mrs. Burley has a unique perspective and a better understanding of publishers' needs, such as:

• Constant communication about publisher's sales and progress.
• Individualized attention. Publisher's titles will not be ignored in favor of those with a larger advertising budget.
• Timely payment! Also, we don't nickel and dime publishers with unnecessary fees and up front charges.
