Frequently Asked Questions

If you decide to switch package before you commence the project, this may be possible as long as we have availability. If you’re not sure which package is right for you, please book a call first. If you’d like to upgrade your marketing later, this is fine. A lot of authors decide to increase their marketing activity once they better understand the publishing process.

This package is mainly designed for authors who already have an audience, network, or social media presence and feel comfortable doing more of the marketing themselves.

We still handle the professional publishing side (editing, design, production, and distribution) but the marketing support is lighter and works more as an additional boost alongside the author’s own platform.

Of course! That’s one of the most important parts of what we do. We specialise in producing high-quality books that genuinely rival traditional publishing standards in terms of editing, design, readability, and quality.

WHAT IT INCLUDES:

  • Hands-on editing (up to 50k words).
  • Cover design and formatting for print and e-book (includes 3 designs).
  • Interior typesetting design and formatting for print.
  • A simplified, reader-friendly e-book (epub3 format).
  • Proofreading in British English to our style guide.
  • 2 book shepherding calls and guidance via our project management software.
  • 100 paperbacks or 50 hardcover high-quality copies privately printed (subject to word count, print/colour options, and images).
  • Our bespoke project management software to track your project in real time.
  • Full project management by our project manager.
  • Managed publishing and distribution via Amazon print-on-demand and IngramSpark (up to 45,000 retailers), plus ISBNs and barcodes.
  • Our Side Quest marketing package, with the option to upgrade

VALUE PROPOSITION:
