About Us

Founder BJ Dowlen started her writing career as a ghost-writer, writing blogs, magazine articles, social media content, and eventually books for her Bodywork clients while she was on location with them.

After sitting in on numerous publishing house negotiations, watching her clients receive only 10-12% of the book profits. At the same time, requiring clients (even high-profile clients) to create their own marketing plans to sell books, BJ set out to create a publishing house where the book clients receive 50% of the profits. Her first step was to streamline the process and cut out the excess costs, no more paying “Madison Avenue” price tags for office spaces and salaries. 

Instead, BJ met with and interviewed clients in person and on location: in their homes, on the beach, at hotel pools, wherever was convenient for the client, and assumed all the upfront costs.

Hamptons Book Publishing is the first publishing house to be selected by the Made in America Movement as the American Publishing House.

Her previous business ventures include inventing and distributing multi-award-winning, American Made, wellness products, which have been featured in Oprah’s O List, L.A. Times, MSNBC, FOX News, Today Show, Bravo TV, The Doctor’s TV, The Fab Life, The View, Inc. Magazine, USA Today, Home Shopping Network and more. 

She used her vast experience of drop shipping thousands of orders of her wellness products to reduce the cost of shipping books. Simultaneously, this experience allowed her to eliminate the “need” to ship via Amazon, allowing more revenue to go directly into the pockets of her book clients.

Hamptons Book Publishing is an indie publishing house. We write & publish FASCINATING books & split profits 50/50 with our clients.
