From your original story, we’ll help you thread all those needles to a finished book. We love memoirs, autobiographies, as well as short stories and simple posts (yep, we’ll publish a good post on our website). But let’s focus on the books right now. We’ve outlined five general action steps here.
Your story may be just an idea, or it may be cached here and there on scraps of paper or in notes you’ve written or recorded. Whatever the format, we can help you take it from concept to a finished product, the book you’ve always said you’d write someday. It’s time to take the first step let us know how we can help.
We’ll handle getting your ideas all together from the information you give us, i.e. we’ll line up all the ducks. Next, we’ll begin helping you write your book along with the editing process.
If you’ve already completed steps 1 and 2, congratulations! You’re ready to move on to layout, cover design, publishing requirements (those necessary bits of information on the verso or copyright page), and those myriad small details (such as bibliography and index) that take a writer from concept to publication.
This is a wonderful step up from concept to completion. Finally, after all this time, you can see an almost finished book! We know what’s required to complete your vision in eBook, paperback, and hardcover formats! Nice.
It’s called grunt work because it’s tedious because we’re threading all those needles we talked about earlier. Besides your beautiful cover and eye-pleasing content layout, these needles are prickly and require timely attention. You’ll need ISBNs and LCCNs, Barcodes and BISACs, as well as all the little decisions that crop up along the way. Not to be discouraged, however—we’ve threaded all these needles before.
We upload your finished work to either Amazon KDP or IngramSpark. As Indie (Independent) Publishers we have more flexibility to offer, and work closely with you from the beginning to completed project. You control the direction of the work and what steps you need the most help with.
