Authors invited to publish with ForbesBooks will benefit from the brand’s authority and unique co-marketing and content opportunities, allowing them to reach a global and multi-faceted audience of executives, business owners, and decision makers.
  • Authors retain ownership of rights. ForbesBooks Authors are entrepreneurs, CEOs, and business owners who control and own their content and intellectual property. Unlike traditional publishers, ForbesBooks Authors retain full ownership and have full control of all rights to their book.
