Complete Publishing Package

Rates - $7,850.00 flat fee   (FINANCING OPTIONS AVAILABLE!)

Our complete publishing package includes everything you need to get your manuscript published -- from properly formatting your manuscript to marketing your book. Simply send us your completed work, and we will do the rest.

As the author of the text, you will be involved in the process each step of the way. After we complete each step, we will send you the manuscript to review and approve before moving on to the next step. The entire process typically takes between 9 and 12 months to complete.

Following is a detailed list of everything that is included in this service.

Manuscript Formatting and Typesetting

Your manuscript will be properly formatted and typeset to prepare it for the printing process. The actual style of formatting will depend on what type of text it is. For instance, poetry collections are formatted differently than fictional novels. Your work will also be typeset according to the publisher's specifications.

Professional Editing

Your manuscript will be professionally edited to ensure that there are no typos, spelling errors, punctuation errors, or other errors in standard written English, while maintaining your unique tone and style of writing. The level of editing performed will depend on the manuscript. Two levels are included in the price of this package: basic proofreading and content editing. If your work needs our blend of content editing and ghostwriting, we charge an additional $2.00/manuscript formatted page.

Secured Official Copyright

Once your manuscript has been formatted and edited, we will obtain a copyright form from the U.S. Library of Congress, fill in the form with the necessary information, attach the requested copies, and mail it to you for your signature. Once you have reviewed and signed the form, you can mail it directly to the Library of Congress with a request for an official copyright in your name.

Publisher Submission

We will submit your properly formatted and professionally edited manuscript to reputable Internet-based publishing houses. There are many to choose from, and we will submit your work to all who are actively seeking the genre of your work.

These houses offer excellent royalty percentages and generally work on a print-on-demand basis. They will prepare a professional cover, including artwork for the front and an author's photo on the back. They use a "perfect binding" technique so that your book looks professionally bound, and they will even include illustrations or art work within the text if you wish. There may, however, be a small additional fee for including in-text photos or illustrations.

Once your manuscript has been accepted for publication, we will forward the publisher's contract for your review and signature. Then, your book will be printed and ready for marketing. It will be available for sale on the web, as well as to bookstore buyers across the nation.

Expert Marketing

Once your book is printed and available for sale, we will contract with a professional literary marketing firm to advertise and promote your book to bookstores, libraries, schools, and other appropriate vendors.
