Your Book. Your Vision. Your Way.


step 1: review our process

Production process for our Deluxe Self-Publishing Package w/ Bestseller Launch:

  • We’ll begin with a complimentary publishing consultation to ensure we’re a good fit. If so, you’ll receive a quote based on the scope of your project, and your agreement will be generated. For your convenience, all of our forms can be completed and signed electronically.

  • Once signed, you’ll receive an invoice for either your initial deposit or full payment (full pay saves you 3% off the package price). Your deposit or full payment secures your spot in our publishing queue. If necessary, a payment plan will be created for the balance.

  • Next, you’ll receive a Book Components Checklist to help you compile your manuscript for content editing. Once you submit your completed manuscript, one of our editors will perform a content edit and return your manuscript with changes and notes for you to review via Track Changes.

  • While your book is in editing, our cover designers will get started on the front cover concepts. Once a concept is selected by you, you’ll have the opportunity to make three rounds of changes to get it exactly to your liking.

  • You’ll make any necessary changes to your manuscript and return it for a second pass/copy edit.

  • After you review your fully edited manuscript, you’ll sign your Manuscript Submission Form, fill out an Interior Design Questionnaire, and submit your final draft for interior formatting and design, where we’ll lay it out for paperback print publishing.

  • Once formatting is completed, you’ll receive a PDF proof copy to review, and you’ll compile a list of any last-minute changes. We’ll make those changes and supply a revised proof. This process will be repeated for a total of three interior proofs to ensure you are happy with your book before it goes to print.

  • Our proofreader will review the PDF print-ready file as a final set of eyes.

  • Once the paperback interior is finalized, we’ll create an .epub file for eBook publishing as well.

  • At this point, we’ll ask for your back cover copy (i.e., blurb, short bio, headshot, optional endorsement) and create the full print-ready cover that wraps the paperback (front, back, and spine).

  • Once you sign off on the interior and cover files, we’ll guide you to create your own print-on-demand publishing accounts with KDP and IngramSpark. Once you have those set up, you’ll allow us temporary access in order to upload the files on your behalf, add the book’s metadata, optimize the keywords and categories for ranking and searchability, and schedule your bestseller book launch.

  • We’ll have our 60-minute launch meeting via phone or Zoom, where we’ll plan out the details of your launch, including the presale for author-signed copies, compiling your book review team, and the Amazon bestseller launch activities. After the launch meeting, you’ll receive a detailed recap that outlines the exact dates to execute each step of the plan.

  • You’ll also receive email swipe files and social media graphics you can use to host a cover reveal, announce your presale, and announce the publication on your scheduled launch day.

  • Leading up to the launch, we’ll work with Amazon to get your book added to relevant categories optimized for ranking and searchability. We’ll also schedule paid features/advertising with our book promoters, who will feature your book to their list of readers on your launch day.

  • By the end of the launch, you’ll have a high-quality book published on Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, and other online retailers. You’ll have the opportunity to purchase wholesale copies directly from your print-on-demand printers and resell them on your website and at live events for the retail rate, earning a nice profit.

  • Additionally, your book will reach #1 bestseller on Amazon, sometimes in multiple categories, and have glowing reviews. The goal of the bestseller launch is to ignite Amazon’s sales algorithm so they begin cross-promoting your book to potential readers on your behalf and, of course, to earn the title of bestselling author!

    • NOTE: Wall Street Journal bestseller launches are also available, but please be advised they require a premium investment due to the ad budget needed to generate the number of sales required for the list.

  • Finally, you’ll receive all of your print-ready files, cover graphics, and source files in a Google Drive folder.

  • NOTE: Average timeline for our complete package from start to finish is three months, but the timeline also depends on how quickly the author completes revisions and proofing.

    • You’ll work with a dedicated project manager who will guide you through each step of the process, from start to finish!

Step 2: rEview our work

NOTE: At this time, we do not publish children’s books. All other genres are considered.

step 3: complete the “get started” form

We’ll be happy to offer a quote but first we need to learn about your project and needs. Our quotes are based on the genre and style of book, word count, extent of design, timeline, etc.

You’ll receive a response within 1-3 business days.
