Publishing
Whether you're an established author or have just finished writing your first book, publishing is an important part of the process. It involves the creation, editing, and production of your book.
There are a number of different publishing models available to authors, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. We recommend that you do your research before deciding which route to take.
Trade or mainstream publishers publish books that are generally sold in bookstores and online retailers. They have the most control over book content and formatting, and can make major decisions about your book's appearance, price, and distribution.
The type of publisher you choose will depend on your needs and budget, so it's important to shop around and consider all the options. It's also wise to consider your goals for your book before committing to any publisher.
A good publishing company will offer guidance on how to best prepare your manuscript for submission. They may provide you with editing suggestions, cover design and other services, and they'll even help you with marketing your book once it's published.
However, many publishing companies are predatory hybrids that will ask you to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) before they'll release your manuscript or accept any payment for their services. If you are concerned about your publisher's business practices, you can check out consumer complaints on sites like the Better Business Bureau and Google Reviews.
You can also check for one-star reviews on Amazon and other sites to get a sense of how popular a publishing company is with readers. If you find a lot of negative reviews from a particular publisher, it's probably a sign that their services are subpar.
In addition to traditional publishing, there are also digital publications and self-publishing services. Electronic publications include e-books, e-magazines, and social media websites.
Publishing can be a long and complex process, but with the right tools, you can make it as easy as possible. New Book Authors offers a range of professional and affordable services to guide you through the publishing process, from editing to design to production.
Marketing
Marketing is a broad term that encompasses a number of different aspects of running a business. Some of these include product distribution, promotion, designing and creating materials like landing pages and social media content, and improving customer experience.
One of the most important aspects of marketing is understanding your target audience and what they want from a business. This allows you to figure out where to focus your efforts, what products to sell, and how to better serve your customers.
Another aspect of marketing that many people don’t realize is that it can be a relationship-driven discipline. It’s about forming connections with potential customers, figuring out how to help them solve their problems, and ultimately growing the credibility and authority of your company and its products.
To do this effectively, you need to know what makes your readers tick and understand how to reach them through various channels. For example, you might use a blog to reach your target audience, or you might create social media content to interact with your followers and encourage them to sign up for your mailing list.
Luckily, there are a variety of book marketing and PR companies to choose from that can help you achieve your goals. Some of these companies offer packages that include everything you need to promote your book and make it stand out from the crowd.
For example, Smith Publicity offers a range of services to boost your sales and build your expert brand. They can also help you create a press release, produce an endorsement video, and get your book featured on social media.
JKS Communications, based in Nashville, Tennessee, offers book marketing and publicity solutions to both traditionally published and self-published authors. They work closely with their clients to understand their budget, lifestyle, and comfort level. They then create a personalized strategy that will ensure that you meet your sales goals and maintain brand equity.
Cameron Publicity & Marketing is a London-based book publicity and marketing company that has been in business since 2006. They provide a wide range of services to help their clients promote their books through online marketing, blogs, television, and radio promotion.
Distribution
Distribution is the process of getting a book into bookstores, libraries and specialty stores. It involves a number of different services, including print-on-demand printing and wholesalers. It can also include marketing services, such as direct-to-retail sales and merchandising.
A few services offer complete book distribution: Ingram and Baker & Taylor are the largest US book distributors to bookstores, libraries and schools; they provide both online and offline distribution. They are mainly used by traditional publishers, but they can also be a good fit for self-published authors.
For authors who want to reach more markets, PublishDrive offers subscription pricing, which lets you keep all of your royalties. It also specializes in international distribution, enabling authors to reach new audiences that would otherwise be impossible.
Another distribution service that’s a great fit for some indie authors is BookBaby, which offers both print-on-demand and worldwide book distribution. Its pricing is a bit high, but it’s worth the investment for authors who can sell thousands of copies at a premium price point.
Authors who don’t want to pay a subscription fee can use a self-distribution service like Draft2Digital or IngramSpark, which offer all the benefits of an online publishing platform, with a single upload. They can then distribute your books to all major online book retailers and aggregators, as well as smaller ones.
The first step to book distribution is finding the right printer. Many self-publishers opt for POD, which is a digital book printing method that prints one copy at a time. This process is usually cheaper than offset printing, and it enables small print runs.
A POD printer can also help you create a print-on-demand inventory that you can use for direct-to-retail sales from your website, giveaways, and events. You can also use a POD printer to create a physical inventory of copies that you can take with you when speaking engagements or book signings occur.
If you’re interested in distributing your books to libraries, you have several options, including SELF-e Select, Statewide Indie Anthology, and Library Journal SELF-e. Each of these services has its own set of criteria for selecting authors and offering titles to libraries, so it’s important to choose a distribution option that works best for your territory, career goals, and marketing strategy.
