Some writers plan to publish digitally only—to save money. This is a mistake.

If you publish an eBook, you are perceived as a writer.
If you publish a pBook (paper), you are regarded as an author.

Paper book are retained as review copies; PDFs disappear in a click.

Self-publishers should offer editions to fit any lifestyle: Paper, eBook, LARGE PRINT for the visually impaired, audiobook, etc.

Give the buying customer what he or she wants.

Letter from Ellen

Hello,

Please let me explain what I can do for you so that we can proceed with clarity and confidence, and you can enjoy the process of getting your book into print.

For over 12 years, I have been producing independently published books with authors who want to control their own imprint (and profit), and create a book of excellent quality.

How We Work

As your Book Producer, once we decide to work together, I talk with you, read your manuscript, and find out what you want your book to do for you. As I get to know you and understand your objectives, I begin to think about the best way to position and brand you. This includes hiring a select team of creative professionals, to work with me on your behalf.

These creatives include editors, copywriters (for title, back cover and the all important “about the book” and “about the author”), cover designers, book interior page designers, web designers, printers and those skilled in handling the myriad details that accompany each step. These experts are hand picked by me specifically based on the needs of your book.

As your Consultant, I have an array of resources and experience I can put behind your project. While I am not an artist, I have an excellent eye for design and layout. While I am not a copywriter, I have a keen sense for how to brand and direct the “sell” of you book. The details of my consulting services are described on the Book Consultant page of my website.

What You Get

I can take you from manuscript to print and advise regarding bookstore distribution, e-book and audio book creation and distribution. I also can work with you on your website; design, videos, and your professional author photo. All of these are very important components of your branding.

You have put your heart into your manuscript, I will work with you to “put your best book forward” and start your own imprint – and I can recommend other ways to get you published as well.

Time Matters

It’s my honor and pleasure to work with you to get your book out very quickly – in months, not years – so you can not only have a book of excellent quality, you can be proud of it and be ready to market hard and fast!

Call or email me and let’s talk about YOU!

Warmly,

ELLEN REID
