PUBLISHING YOUR WORK ON YOUR OWN TERMS

Have you been querying your work for awhile, or had a work that was slated for publication get cancelled? Perhaps your work is better suited for indie publishing (also called self-publishing). Schedule in an initial call with Britta to talk over your options and to ensure this is the path you’re ready to enter. It’s an exciting time where there are more publishing options than ever, but it’s still territory that you want to feel fully informed about.

What are your main publishing paths today? (See this article from Jane Friedman’s website).

What publishing assistance does The Writing Consultancy offer?

• Developmental Editing, Copy Editing and Proofreading –you will have different editors for each stage of editorial work, should you decide to engage with us for professional editing.
• Layout –for fiction and select non-fiction (exportable to paperback, hardback and e-book interiors required by Ingram Spark and Draft2Digital).
• Book Production Assistance— managing production and marketing deadlines, cover design concepts (we do not do cover design, but can advise you), writing and editing your blurb, uploading your book to Ingram Spark or Draft2Digital, and planning your launch.

Will the Writing Consultancy publish my work under Murasaki Press LLC’s imprint?

• Although Britta does own a micro press, Murasaki Press, she only publishes a limited amount of books per year and is not open to submissions currently.
