Upgrade To Hardcover Publishing With The Essential Package

Move to the next level of publishing with hardcover publishing, custom interior design, the Booksellers Return Program feature, and more! The Essential Package has all the features of the Essential Package but is for authors wishing for additional marketing and professional editing options.

Check For Manuscript Errors

Get another set of eyes on your manuscript with a feature called Editorial Assessment. We’ll edit a portion of your manuscript, check for errors far beyond grammar, and send it back with corrections and an opportunity for further editing services—an excellent option for authors who don’t want to spend the time editing.

Meet Bookseller Standards

In addition to online distribution, bookstore distribution is also essential. With the Booksellers Return Program, your books will be labeled as “returnable” for booksellers, lowering their financial risk and increasing your chance of a bookstore ordering and stocking your book.

Customize Your Book’s Interior

Enjoy a custom experience with our creative book designers to create interior page designs for your book. This is an added tailored feature perfect for a more hands-on author.

Formatting

• Electronic Galley - Also referred to as “galley proof,” this is your cover and manuscript in a book layout with chapters and pagination. To ensure the final book design is 100% to your liking, galleys are e-mailed to you for review and approval before the book is ready for purchase.
