Give-Me-The-Book Package
Do you want all the pieces done for your book, but want control over the publishing process? With this, you get to choose whether to go exclusive with Amazon, or kick Amazon to the curb or go “Wide” to publish your book everywhere. With our Give-Me-The-Book Package you’ll get developmental edits, line-by-line edits, formatting, proofreading, and a cover (ebook and paperback). This includes the blurb, barcodes, and the other items necessary to ensure your book is ready for publishing.
It will also include walk-throughs and 1:1 sessions about the various publishing distributors including Ingramspark, Draft2Digital, and KDP. This is perfect for those who want to be an indie-author, but don’t want to search and contract with an editor, cover artist and formatter.
Note: This package does NOT include ISBN numbers, as you need to purchase those yourself as YOU are publisher.
You get all of this for $3,000
Send an email to nobbpress@gmail.com to set up a 1:1 session to discuss whether this is the right fit for you.
Want just the editing, or the formatting? Read on.
