Our Services

Once your book copy is ready, email it to us and we will format your book to industry standards for publishing. (Copy ready meaning you have completed the book to your liking, and you are satisfied that's how you want to see it in print.)

We will design the front and back covers of the book. (Your input is more than welcome as to design ideas.) We supply you with an email proof of the final cover, for your approval. If changes are desired, you then get to see and approve the finished cover.

(All along the process, we will make suggestions, with the final product being what YOU decide.)

Within several weeks we will then supply you with a professional proof copy of your book. You review and make any corrections you wish. You return those changes via email, and, within two weeks we will send you a second professional final proof copy.

If you are satisfied that all changes are properly made, you give us your final approval for the book to be "set & printed." The book is then ready for publication, copywritten in your name, complete with the UPC bar code for pricing identification.

You decide on the retail price of the book. (Our experience can be helpful with this.) The retail price determines the royalty you receive for each sale through Amazon.com, as well as the profit you make on each book you sell directly.

(It's important to know that the book remains your exclusive property — 100%. If you are ever able to interest a publishing house in adding your book to their offerings, you are free to deal with them -- totally free and clear of any restrictions.)

Your Cost

A flat fee of $280 covers all the following services;

• One-on-one phone and email personalized guidance through your book publishing experience.

      • Full Color Cover Design — Front and Back.

      • Formatting your straight-text copy to industry standards for up to 200 pages.

      • Downloading and transmitting to the printing company.

      •When your book is ready for printing, you will receive a proof copy from the printer for your review. After receiving your corrections, the printer will send a final proof copy of your book for your review and final approval.

      • Marketing Ideas and Suggestions.

      Several weeks after your final approval, your book is available for:

      1) You to order directly from the printing company if you wish to purchase copies to direct-sell or give as gifts. (Depending upon book size, usually your cost per copy is as little as several dollars each.) No minimum orders necessary. You may order one at a time or one hundred.

      2) Automatic placement on Amazon.com for which you receive a royalty per book sold, again, depending on the retail price you decide upon.

      (We will also write the promotional blurb for display on Amazon.com.)

    (For books over 200 pages, add $1 per page.)

Any special requests/needs/copy changes — add $25 per hour of actual time involved.

(Examples — After approving your cover, you'd like to change your mind and you have an idea for a different cover, or, after approving the copy of your book, you decide to add a chapter or two or decide something needs rewriting.)

There's no financial investment on your part beyond the above.
