CONSULTING SERVICES
Got an idea for a book? Or a manuscript on your closet shelf?
Can't tell an ISBN from a LCCN? Don't know the difference between POD and B&T?
Don't know what to do next? We're here to help.
EquiLibrium offers consulting services for would-be authors in the three key phases of getting a book to its audience: planning; production; and marketing. Geared to your goals (and your book's profile), we will:
-
Give an insider's view of how the publishing business works. There's a lot you should know before plunging in.
-
Honestly discuss the merits and pitfalls of your book -- the unique factors that could help it sell . . . or leave it stacked in your garage. We'll give you our frank assessment up front, before you've spent a single dollar on production.
-
Help you choose the best route to publication: agent? book packager? large publisher? independent publisher? self-publishing?
-
Suggest resources for continuing your publishing education.
If you decide to self-publish:
-
Create a realistic production schedule to meet the various milestones that you must hit if your book is to have any chance of commercial success.
-
Help you retain top-notch editors, illustrators, cover designers, indexers, publicists, media coaches, and other professionals that you may require.
-
Advise you of the best ways to get your book distributed to the book trade, libraries, special sales, and other markets.
-
Help create a marketing and promotion plan designed to give your book a lasting life.
Sound good? We want to hear from you. Contact EquiLibrium for more information.
NOTE: We prefer to consult on nonfiction, but will consider fiction as well.
