Message from the CEO
Dear Esteemed Authors,
I am filled with immense pride to address each of you, the talented and aspiring authors within our cherished community. As the CEO of McGilligan Publishing—and a dedicated writer myself—I understand the profound journey each of you embarks upon when crafting your literary works.
Writing is not merely a profession; it is a calling, a passion igniting within us the fervent desire to share narratives that resonate with the world. I, too, have walked the path of uncertainty, faced the daunting blank page, and navigated the intricate tapestry of words to weave together compelling stories. It is within these moments of creative exploration that we find our true voices and harness the power of words to captivate readers worldwide.
Fellow writers, you understand the power of storytelling. You grasp the importance of crafting narratives that captivate, inspire, and provoke thought. At McGilligan Publishing, we share your passion for the written word and are committed to nurturing tomorrow's literary luminaries.
As an Irish American biographer and writer, I have dedicated my life to chronicling the stories of individuals who have left an indelible mark on history. From Alfred Hitchcock to countless others, I have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of storytelling. Each book, each page, is a testament to the human spirit and our boundless capacity for connection.
I am reminded of Alfred Hitchcock's words: "To make a great film, you need three things—the script, the script, and the script." While he spoke specifically of cinema, his sentiment resonates deeply within literature.
At McGilligan Publishing, we are committed to supporting you every step of the way. From editorial guidance to marketing strategies, we are dedicated to helping you bring your vision to life and sharing it with the world.
In closing, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to each of you for daring to dream, create, and share your stories. Together, let us embark on this literary adventure and leave an indelible mark on the tapestry of human experience.
With warmest regards,
Patrick McGilligan

Yes, if you have signed up for a Marketing Plan for your book, McGilligan Publishing has a dedicated marketing and publicity department that will help promote your book. They may assist with creating a marketing plan, arranging author events, securing media coverage, and leveraging digital platforms. However, it's also important for authors to actively participate in promoting their own books and building their author brand.
McGilligan Publishing value author input and the final decision regarding cover design is often a collaborative effort between the publisher, the author, and the design team. Publishers have experience in creating covers that appeal to their target audience and fit within market trends. However, authors can share their ideas and preferences, and the publisher will strive to create a cover that represents the essence of the book while meeting market standards.
Royalties are a percentage of the book's sales that authors receive as compensation. All the royalties go directly to the author; McGilligan Publishing would never ask its author for a percentage in their royalties.
Efficiency is key. Navigate the intricate world of publishing a book seamlesslys with our streamlined processes that make your journey from manuscript to bookshelf a breeze.
