Questions I Get

What is Negus.Leo Publishing?

It’s my publishing company and the home of my books. I’ve written and published eight of them, and this is where they all live. I only publish my own work here, organized in series where the books connect. It’s also where I share what I’m learning about getting those books into readers’ hands.

What books have you published?

My books are Adversity Intelligence, Fueled with Purpose, The Whole Life, Manipulating the Barriers to Personal Wellness, the Becoming An Exceptional Communicator series, Mastering Productivity, The Ultimate Guide to Working From Home, and Story Architecture. They cover adversity, purpose, wellness, communication, productivity, and storytelling. Each one came out of something I was working through in my own life. You can find all of them in the store.

Where can I buy your books?

The best place is right here in my store. When you buy here, your purchase comes straight to me, and I can help you directly if anything goes wrong with your order. My books are also on Amazon if that’s easier for you. Either way, thank you for reading.

Why does the store have journals and other items too?

Everything I create lives in one store, so it’s easy to find. That includes the communication journals and eBooks that go along with the Becoming An Exceptional Communicator series. If I make something new that fits, it’ll show up here. If a section of the store is empty, I keep it hidden until there’s something real in it.

My download isn’t working. What do I do?

Send me a message using the form below and choose “Book or order question.” Include your order number, the date you bought it, and which book and format you bought. That helps me find your order fast. I’ll get it sorted out as soon as I can.

What is Getting Books Read?

It’s a blog series where I learn how to get my books read, starting from zero, in public. Each post shares what I tried, what happened, and what I’m testing next. Some tests will work, and some will flop, and I’ll share both. It starts in November, and each post picks up where the last one left off.

Do you publish other authors?

No. Negus.Leo Publishing only publishes my own work, so I’m not accepting manuscripts or book drafts. I also don’t offer editing, coaching, or publishing services right now. My focus is on learning, and I’d rather get good at getting my own books read before I try to help anyone else with theirs.

Are your posts about copyright and estate planning legal advice?

No. I write about those topics because I’m learning how to protect my own work, and I share what I find along the way. I’m a learner, not a lawyer. For decisions about your own work, rights, or estate, talk to an attorney who can look at your situation.

I’m working on my own book. Can I talk to you about it?

Yes, I’d like to hear what you’re working on. I can’t review manuscripts or give feedback on drafts, but I’m always glad to hear what other authors are trying. Tell me what you’re testing, what’s working, or where you’re stuck. Sometimes the best ideas for my own work come from hearing about someone else’s.

How can I follow along?

Join my newsletter to get new posts as they come out, or check back on the blog. The Getting Books Read series is the best place to start once it begins. To see the bigger picture of what I’m building, visit The Canty Effect.
