What kind of author is Simon Publishing best suited for?
Simon Publishing LLC is for the author that prefers the flexibility of self-publishing without waiting two or three years for a traditional book deal to make it from contract to publication. Simon Publishing LLC will get your book in your hands and out to the public in a few months or less, depending on the work needed on it. We are also the alternative to those that would like to self-publish, but don't have the technological skills or desire to learn them.
What experience do you have in editing and publishing?
Having studied the craft of writing and publishing for over ten years, I have edited, formatted and published over two dozen books for clients as well as ghost written two books and published six books of my own. I am constantly learning new techniques and striving to improve my craft.
What about the cover?
Robin will work with you to design the perfect cover for you. First step is to fill out a form that describes the book and your wishes. Then you will have a phone conversation with her and have several opportunities to preview her mock-up before it is published.
How is the work published?
Simon Publishing LLC offers publication from two Print-on-Demand printing companies, KDP/Amazon and Ingram Spark. I would be glad to discuss the differences with you. Both feature your books on Amazon.com and Barnes &Noble.com in print and ebook.
How much input do I get as the author?
100%. Prior to final edit or publication, the author will have multiple chances to review and add input or ideas into the text, formatting, or design of the book.
How much do your services cost?
There are essentially two main services offered: Editing and Publication. You will receive a written quote and a contract to be signed prior to any work done. Editing services are charged by the hour, publication in packages of service needed. We are always here to discuss your needs.
