The Owl Package

You’re a serious writer confident in your manuscript. You’re sure you’ve addressed issues in the content and you have a story – whether it’s fiction or nonfiction – that’s tight and holds together cohesively. It’s a good book. But there are other requirements: the copy’s not the best, and you want a presence on the net. Your book will be copyedited and proofread, your book will be published…

The Raven Package

You want your book to be sleek and the copy professionally edited and designed. The Raven package will give you all you need to set yourself up for author success. You have your book and you want to publish, but you want more than that. Writing is something you take seriously, and you understand that there’s more to this publishing caper than simply getting a book printed. You want to build a presence. It’s not just about becoming an author but, in a way, becoming a brand. You want everybody to not only know about your book, but also about you, the author. You want to make a splash and give yourself the best chance possible of succeeding.

The Sparrow Package

So you have a book and want to get it out into the world, minus all the bells and whistles. You’ve had it edited. It’s polished. Or you’ve gone over and over and over it yourself. You don’t think you could get it any better. All you need are the very basics, those nitpicky administrative things that you’re not so good with, or that you’d simply like bundled. If only somebody could take care…

The most popular question we get is this: How much does it cost to publish a book? It’s an impossible question to answer because every book is different. What is the word count? What size book would the author like the publish? What sort of paper stock do they want to use? Do they have pictures? If so, how many? Are they colour or black & white? Does the author need structural editing?

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.

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.
