No Matter How Far Along You Are on Your Self-Publishing Journey, We Can Help
Quick Question About Self Publishing
We aim to follow up within 2–6 hours on weekdays, but sometimes we get so caught up in what we’re working on … or eating … or doggie walking … that it can take longer. But no matter what, we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.
Your information is confidential and will not be shared. We follow best practices for client privacy.
Filling in this form or texting will get you a faster response than calling, but if you just can’t help yourself and want to call, heads up that we screen calls and you’ll need to state your name and leave a message anyway.
We’ll email back with a list of questions about your book, your goals for book publishing, and what stage of your book writing you’re in, including whether you are looking for book publishers, considering self-publishing options, or seeking marketing support.
We’ll also ask about the genre—such as literary fiction, contemporary fiction, women’s fiction, children’s books, or nonfiction—and whether you are a local author or interested in boutique press or translated works.
Then we’ll schedule a call, so you can see if you like our vibe.
If you need additional services, like professional book editing to help authors prepare their manuscripts for manuscript acceptance, or would rather work with someone else, we’ll give you names of peers whose work we love, including published authors and publishers listed in reputable directories (and remind you to verify submission details directly from the publisher’s official website). No matter what, we’ll do our best to help you.
Developing Your Book Idea
Every great book starts with a powerful idea, and developing that idea is the foundation of your publishing journey. Whether you’re an experienced writer or just beginning to explore your first book, taking the time to shape your concept is essential for success in today’s competitive market. A well-crafted book idea not only fuels your creativity but also helps you stand out—whether you’re aiming for traditional publishing, self-publishing, or working with a hybrid publisher like Atmosphere Press or Greenleaf Book Group.
Start by considering the genre that excites you most. Are you drawn to literary fiction, contemporary fiction, or perhaps nonfiction projects like self-help or cultural nonfiction? Think about the themes and messages you want to share with your readers. What unique perspective or story can you offer? For nonfiction authors, this might mean focusing on personal growth, business leadership, or sharing insights from your own experiences. For fiction writers, it could be about building memorable characters and crafting a story that resonates with young adult, children’s books, or adult audiences.
Research is key. Look at what’s trending in your chosen genre and identify where your book can fill a gap. Understanding your target audience will help you develop a marketing strategy that connects with readers and builds credibility as a published author. Explore what other publishing companies and Austin publishers are looking for, and review submission details to ensure your manuscript stands out.
As you refine your book idea, think about the publishing process that best fits your goals.
- If you want complete control over your project—from the editing process to cover design and formatting services—self-publishing might be the right path.
- If you prefer the support and professional polish of a traditional press, you’ll benefit from editorial support and established marketing channels.
- Hybrid publishing offers a blend of both, giving you flexibility and access to professional publishing services while maintaining more creative control.
Remember, developing your book idea is just the beginning. With the right partner and a strong focus on literary excellence, you can transform your concept into a published book that reaches readers around the world. Don’t hesitate to seek feedback from writing communities, professional book editing services like Inksnatcher, or boutique presses to help you refine your vision. Your story deserves to be told—let’s make sure it’s the best it can be.
