Kickstarter

If you’re just embarking on your self-publishing journey, this bundle will kickstart you on the journey.

We’ll start by working with you on a plan for your book (in person, Skype/Zoom or phone). This session will help you sort out the publishing timeline and ideas for promotion.

Having a mock-up of your cover means that you can start pre-selling your book and funding your project. You can also send out the media release or book blurb to start getting some media attention or book store orders.

Original price was: $1,200.00.Current price is: $695.00.

Marketing

You can have the most spectacular content and a professional book that has great value to a reader, but how do they know it exists?

Promotion is advertising a product or brand, generating sales, and creating brand loyalty. It’s one of the four elements of your marketing mix and important in terms of getting your book into people’s hands. Promotion covers the methods of communication used to provide information about a product. Information can be both verbal and visual.

Don’t let your book sit unseen on some shelf. Strive to create awareness for your book, as well as yourself as an author.

Fees are calculated for manuscripts up to 50,000 words. Extra charges may apply for longer manuscripts. Each package comes with one proof copy of your book. Print runs are charged separately, as unit costs vary depending on the type of book produced. However, we do not commit authors to unnecessary big print runs, and will often use print-on-demand, printing only as many books as an author needs at any given time. Please note: Almost all our authors will customise packages, choosing what they need from our wide range of services, and dismissing what they don’t. We use these packages as templates to give you an idea what we offer.
