PUBLISHING MENTORING SERVICES

Do you dream of publishing your own book? We’d like to help! 

Over the past 5 years, we have gained experience in each facet of self-publishing from book idea through prepress to publication and marketing.

Our first children’s picture book, Norbert: What Can Little Me Do?, released in November 2013, has won 9 book awards—three of them international awards. Our book will be launched nationally on August 1, 2014 by Greenleaf Book Group, and it will be released in Europe this fall.
 

MENTORING OFFERINGS

Book Concept Planning / Manuscript Writing

We will help you organize your book idea, taking into consideration the theme, audience, style, and more. Create a good foundation for your book project with a sound plan and vision. We are here to help guide you through the initial stages of your book. You set the pace, but accountability and support provide you with valuable incentive. 

Book & Cover Design

The design of your book should add to the overall idea of your work. Size, layout, fonts, color, embellishments, illustrations, photographs, pacing, etc. work in harmony to make each book unique and dynamic. We will help you creatively plan the design of your book.

Prepress & Printing

Preparing your book for publication is the most technical part of the process. Knowing the specifications required for publication and creating a professional presentation requires technological knowledge using both hardware and software. There are an almost endless array of choices and combinations when organizing your book for printing. We can help.

Marketing

Once your book is published, you will want others to know about it, purchase it, and read it! Perhaps you want to build a fan base, or present publicly. We specialize in Internet and Social Media marketing as well as face-to-face and traditional marketing.
