What's Your Next Step?



If you’re interested in moving forward with a publishing package, then you need to let me know which package you’d like and I can get the ball rolling.

These are the packages:

Package 1 : Print Published - $599.00
(chapter books or books with 5,000 words or more are quoted separately)
There's nothing like the feeling of holding your book for the very first time! It's something every author's dreamed of. The reality, however, is that the journey from your initial vision to the long-awaited book's arrival in the mail can be complicated.
I've worked with new authors for a long time, and I love helping authors move through the process of bringing their book to print. It's reassuring to have someone on your team who's successfully navigated the publishing industry before and knows what needs to happen to smooth out the process.

That moment you've been waiting for: It's closer than you think!

This Package Includes: Copy Editing of Text, Communication with illustrator, Formatting of images, Layout of Book, Creation of CreateSpace account, Free ISBN number, creation of proof copy of book, transfer of Createspace account to author upon completion, registration of book with all available distribution outlets provided by Createspace, registration of title on Amazon.com for sale. Professionally designed cover using an existing interior illustration and a final phone meeting with the author go over your Createspace account.


Package 2: Print and E-Book Published (Combo) - $649.00
(chapter books or books with 5,000 words or more are quoted separately)

Amazon just announced for the first time ever that sales of digital books, through their Kindle devices, have outsold physical copies of books through their website. There's several reasons for this, most importantly that because there are no printing costs with digital books, they can be offered at a cheaper cost and are more convenient to purchase.

The publishing world is changing fast! Every day Kindles are selling in stores, driving up sales of e-books. On the other hand, there are many people who still like to curl up on the couch with a good book. And while some people are anxious to try out the newest thing, there will likely always be those who love the feel of paper and ink.

This package is designed for the author that appreciates the traditional ways of doing things while still embracing the coming technologies. We understand that there's nothing like holding your book in your hand... even if it's on a Kindle, so we've put together a package for the savvy author who wants to make sure that they're not neglecting any avenue that might lead to a fan's ability to enjoy their newest book. That's why I  offer the "I want it all" package, which gives you a full arsenal of opportunities, both to sell your book and to promote it.

The world is waiting. Are you ready?

NOTES ON EBOOKS: PLEASE READ THIS:
These days there are an endless variety of devices that are available for ebooks and new ones seem to be coming out all the time. Some of the ebook devices do a better job at maintaining the look and feel of your book than others. We specifically work with Kindle for ebooks because their device provides the most consistent and best platform for enjoying your book as it was intended to be enjoyed. They work with the other major ebook devices and support them with free apps, so you don't have to own a Kindle to purchase and read your book. Your customers can now read their Kindle books on iPADs, iphones, MAC and PC computers and Blackberry's as well as Android and Windows Phone 7. It opens up a world of possibilities.

Authors also need to be aware, that ebook readers are smaller than most printed children's books, and they have more technical limitations. The devices have a smaller area to view the book, so books with larger amounts of text per page will be harder to read than books with a larger font sizes and fewer words. Not every children's book will work as well as a digital book as it will as a print book, so it's important to evaluate whether your title will be a good fit for the ebook package.
