Welcome to the book production source for Self Publishing

LOST IN THE SELF-PUBLISHING MAZE? 
 

Don’t fall for glitzy websites with claims to do all the work for you – and then have them “own” your book by registering it in their name! Fortunately there is a better, safer way: Our personal, hands-on service will provide individual attention that those automated Net Vanity sites, who just want you to “upload material” so their pre-programmed computers can do the work, don’t offer – and we’ll register the book in your name.

We’ll produce a book just the way you want it, with phone and email contact throughout the process. With us, you’re not just another number (one of those sites brags about having printed over 100 million books, while another, which boasts of owning most of the competition, has a homepage introduction that’s loaded with typos and grammatical glitches!), rather, we grammatically fine-tune your book with individual care. You don’t have to settle for cookie-cutter choices, when you can be personally involved in the production of your book – with a company that’s been producing books for more than 40 years, over 17 on the Internet…long before those Net Vanity “publishers” were active and making most of their money selling books to their own authors. A popular clothier used to advertise, “An educated consumer is our best customer.” So, even – especially – with producing your book, don’t fall for the glitziest sales pitch until you’ve done sufficient research. Your finished book will reflect that choice.

Our publishing services start with basic info on how to Self Publish your own book (What We Provide), then the right method to choose (Why NOT Choose Internet Vanity?), and a cost comparison between Self Publishing and Print On Demand (Book Biz). Our book production starts and ends with your involvement, which may include your cover idea developed into art. Basic editing is built-in, with advanced edit available if required, and any submitted art is scanned, with illustrations available if needed, then typesetting, formatting with text & cover design, and internal proofreading complete the pre-press work, as you receive 1st Galleys for proofing, then Final Proofs prior to printing. Also, shipping and free ISBN (registered in your name) are included.

That last item is usually the main difference between Net Vanity and genuine Self Publishing – because ISBN registration determines who owns your book. Most of the former register it in their corporate names – we register it in yours, so you own the book 100%.  But beyond that, our difference is the personal attention your book gets. Another advertising claim by a coffee shop chain about its handling of your food was, “Untouched by human hand.” That could be the slogan for most of those Net Vanity sites.

For further info on Self Publishing and our relatively unique, personal process, we suggest perusing some of our illuminating Newsletter editorials (Book Biz), so you can make that educated consumer’s decision. Considering all the time and effort you’ve put into your manuscript, isn’t it worth that special attention to produce the book you want…rather than one decided by a pre-programmed computer?
