WE KEEP IT SIMPLE

Author.ink offers two publication packages (as well as a third - file only - option.). Our regular publishing packages provide all the services listed below.

Our developmental package offers all the services of the regular package plus the services of a developmental editor.

Publication Packages Provide Authors:

*Proofreading of your manuscript (up to 100,000 words. We will work with you to either decrease the size of or split into multiple books manuscripts longer than 100,000 words.) Our proofreaders are professional editors and our proofreading will include content and story suggestions. Our proofreader will make an initial pass, return the manuscript to you for changes, and then make a second pass.

*Custom cover design with professional cover artist, including full wrap print cover.

*Customer interior design, which will include formatting of charts, maps, graphs, etc. (No color illustrations accepted at this time.)

*Library of marketing images, based on your cover, sized for Facebook, Instagram, Twitter.

*Options to publish ebooks either “wide” (including library distribution) or to Amazon Select only. All books are published in print.

*Management of keywords, Amazon categories, and sales blurb to maximize sales.

*Extensive marketing assistance and advice, based on what makes the most sense for your book. (Marketing a memoir is very different than marketing romance fiction.)

*The option to put all books up for preorder, again based on what makes the most sense for your book.

*Copyright registration.

*Ebook and print publication.

*Because we are affiliated with a traditional publisher, our authors are published on the same accounts as traditionally published titles. All our titles are eligible for reviews on Kirkus and Publisher’s Weekly, as well as other venues that do not allow self-published authors.

*Our developmental edit package includes all of the above as well as extensive story assistance with a developmental editor. We will not accept for publication under this program titles that we consider in need of so much work that we cannot ethically publish them.

What does it Cost?

Our basic package costs $3500.

Our developmental edit package costs $5000.

What about Audio?

At the present time we are not offering audio and our contracts allow authors to keep their audio rights. We are actively looking for good audio solutions and hope to offer an “audio included package” soon.

File Only - Self Publish Package:

We also offer a “file only” package for $1000. Under this package, we simply format your book (under 100,000 words) to industry standards (ebook and print), provide you with a professional cover, register copyright in your name, provide a package of marketing images. No proofreading or editing is included in this package, we do not provide ISBNS under this package, and your title will not be eligible for reviews from entities that do not accept “self-published” authors.. You may either publish to our accounts, (and receive 90% of the revenue as royalties - paid monthly beginning the month after publication), or receive the files and publish to your own accounts. If you publish to our accounts, you hold all rights and may remove your book from distribution with us at any point with 30 days notice.
