SERVICES 

New Book Authors will make your book available and on sale via major retailers Like Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Books-a-Million, Walmart, Powells, Indiebound, and more. We will format, edit, and publish your book in paperback, eBook (hardcover is an option) formats. We also provide much needed consultation and feedback for authors seeking advice on their books. Our process is collaborative. We work as a team with the author. This includes bringing the author’s ideas and concepts to fruition or offering feedback in areas where some ideas may not be in the best interest of the book. We specialize in empowering authors who want to publish their book with a great publisher while retaining all of their rights and full control of their work.

You may read some of our reviews on Google Reviews.

What we do:

  3. Provide consultation as needed throughout the process.
  4. Make your book available for sale and distribution through book stores such as Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Books-a-Million and many other fine retailers.
  5. Obtain an ISBN (OPTIONAL – You have the option of using a free ISBN or some authors prefer to purchase and own their own ISBN. We’ll consult on the the pros and cons and both options).
  6. Submit your book to the Library of Congress for applicable numbers that will help facilitate your book to local libraries where your book may be accepted.
  7. Design your marketing outline, sell sheet, and flyers for marketing purposes and presentation to book retailers and the public (included in $550)
  8. Set up a basic author’s web page (OPTIONAL – $175 or no fee for authors with a direct marketing plan.)
  9. Design a marketing strategy (for authors enrolled in our direct marketing program).
  10. Create your book cover (authors have input on the design, and also have the option of providing their own book cover.)
  11. Fill out your copyright forms (Author responsible for $65 copyright registration fee, which is paid directly to the U.S. Copyright Office).
  12. Children books: Authors can provide their own artwork/illustrations or we can pair the author with an illustrator who will work directly (with the author) to create illustrations for the book. There is a separate, very nominal fee per illustration paid to the illustrator that can be negotiated based on type of illustrations needed.

OUR FEE:  Total (including editing and consulting is $550)

At the end of this process, for approximately $550, you will have an attractive and beautifully formatted print and eBook that customers can buy from bookstores and retailers.  All other fees outlined on this page or on our marketing page are 100% optional and are not included on your invoice unless requested. *Note: If you are publishing an academic textbook with hundreds of graphics, tables, etc. (i.e. a biology book, chemistry, math, history) or a book over 200,000 words, it is $750 as textbooks are significantly more complex than a novel, nonfiction, or children’s book.

OPTIONAL SERVICES: The following services are 100% optional. You do not need to pubish a book with New Book Authors Publishing to request the services below:

Don’t just publish. Marketing a book is critically important. Visit our marketing page (click here) for more information.

Retailers and bookstores don’t advertise your book, so it can be difficult to reach potential readers in an industry where over a million books are published annually. Our objective is to get your book in front of the public, to give your book the visibility and exposure it needs to reach potential readers. We offer marketing services whether you have published your book with us, or an outside publisher.

Publishing a book is not enough to be successful. Our authors have two options. Some of our tech savvy authors who have an established platform, media coverage, or a large social media following may prefer to handle their own marketing. New Book Authors will provide a marketing outline, a handy guide for our tech savvy authors, and other materials to assist with your marketing. However, we also provide direct marketing services to authors who prefer to have us market their books for them due to lack of media coverage, social media followers, or visibility. Sometimes our tech savvy authors prefer both options. We offer marketing services whether you have published your book with us, or an outside publisher. Please visit our marketing page for more information. With a million books published annually, it is very easy for a book to disappear without many sales without if there is no marketing for the book.  Authors can decide which option works best for their individual needs.

Writing and story development: Learn how to write a novel. We help authors learn how to write by teaching you how structure your narration, characterization, and how to write more efficiently and professionally. We help you avoid mistakes like overwriting or purple prose, excessive commas or other common punctuation issues. We show you how to avoid run-on sentences, on the nose narration or dialogue, passive voice, and other mistakes that can make the execution of a great story look amateurish. We’ll offer feedback on your story and provide much needed input on what works and what doesn’t without altering the author’s creative voice. There is a fee for this writing development consultation and service as it can take many weeks of consultation and lessons to help authors learn how to write a manuscript. Visit this page for details and information on how to get started Writing and story development (Click here).

TURNAROUND

Turnaround time can vary, depending on the length of the book, type of editing, number of corrections, or number of clients. The average turnaround for completion is two and a half to three months, but again, this depends on the amount of revisions and edits for the book.

We also offer marketing. Hardcover is also an option. Book covers are always designed based on general ideas provided to us by the author.

What are the benefits of publishing with New Book Authors?
