Self Pub Services

Alacrity House Publishing LLC

Self-Publishing Services There are many things involved in self-publishing a book. Although self-publishing is becoming more acceptable in the book world, there is a stigma that lingers because of the poor, unprofessional quality of too many self-published books. Your book can rise above the rest and make sales if you approach its publication with the same professionalism that big publishers use.

Consulting

You may be asking yourself a few questions. Is self-publishing right for me? How to best plan such a project? What are the pitfalls to be avoided? What is an ISBN and do I need one? Can I afford to self-publish? How can I market my book? A consultation can answer these and many other questions in a fraction of the time it would take you to figure it all out on your own. We know-- we've been there! Our consulting services will save you time and money in the long run.

Content Editing

No matter how talented you are, it is a good idea to have a knowledgeable person review your book and make suggestions. Our editors can help you take your book from good to great.

Copy Editing

Make sure your final product is free of typos and other small errors that make a book look amateurish. Like content editing, this is something you cannot do well yourself, no matter how talented or detail-oriented you are. You are just too close to your own book to see the mistakes.

Cover Design

It is a truism that people do judge a book by its cover. Cover design is about more than just pasting up a catchy title. A good cover will draw in potential readers. We've bought countless books simply because the covers convinced us that what was inside was fantastic.

Book Layout and Design

A book designer makes sure that the look of your book is in step with its genre, theme, and overall feel. Little details like margin sizes, font choice, and front matter make a huge difference in the professional look and marketability of your book. In addition, most book printers have very specific guidelines about formatting for the content of your book. Unless you are eager to spend a great deal of time dealing with technical details of this sort, it makes sense to have someone with experience help with your layout and design.
