Our expert layout artists can help you with formatting solutions that will make your book accessible to your readers.

Distribution Strategy

More than half of all book sales (regardless of format) take place online. Self-published authors have the same access to online retail distribution as the major publishers. This access is also largely no upfront costs. Any author can sell their book at Amazon, the No. 1 retailer of books in both print and digital format. Generally this is achieved with a print-on-demand strategy, which means your book isn't printed until someone orders, and pays for it.

You do not have to hire an expensive distribution services to get your book distributed through Amazon and other online retailers; you can secure distribution on your own at little or no cost for both your ebook edition or print book edition. We can help you navigate this process at an affordable price.

MetaData Services

Metadata is data that describes other data. For example, a digital image's metadata can include information related to the image's resolution, size, color depth, and time of creation. This information can be used for data classification, labeling, organization, sorting, tracking, searching, and analysis. Why is this important? Metadata summarizes basic information about data, making finding and working with particular instances of data easier. It doesn't tell you what the content is, but instead describes the type of thing that it is. Essentially it helps find out what data is important to your success. Our experts know how to find this data and how to interpret it to help you drive book sales.
