Phase One–Prepare and Proof

Write–Edit–Format

Manuscript Copy Editing

The process starts with a clear understanding of your goals and target market. Next, we outline the book before we start on the actual manuscript.

I help also you complete the front and back matter and anything else necessary to complete the book before we publish the book. 

Finally, we proofread the text to eliminate any visible or hidden errors.

Professional Cover Design

Our creative artist team designs attention-grabbing cover art that best captures the feel you want your book to emanate and represents the central idea of your book.

Professional Interior Design

Each option includes a professionally designed interior that will make your book look great!

Video Marketing

We will produce video trailers for your book. A video trailer is like a movie trailer. It’s a short, exciting promo for your book. Additional videos can be produced based on chapters, stories, reader testimonials etc… All of these will be posted to the YouTube channel we design and optimize for you.

Media Room and Press Release Marketing

Media Marketing

Every media appearance is an implied endorsement of you and your book. Nothing provides the “bang for your buck” as effective media marketing.

Our Media Marketing Program includes press release marketing, booking you on podcasts, speaking engagements, social media marketing, and more.
