eBook and Paperback/Hardback
Publishing Package

In A Nutshell

Our eBook and Paperback/Hardback Publishing Package is a Print-on-Demand publishing package which gives you the opportunity to publish your book in both digital and physical formats.
 
Seeing your manuscript take form as a physical book is one of the reasons that writers wish to publish, as it gives you a physical product to share, market and make available to potential readers. Publishing an eBook alongside your paperback or hardback edition ensures your book also reaches readers who prefer digital formats over physical formats.

What It Costs

Example Price = £2,300 (based on 40,000w manuscript)

The price of this service depends on a variety of factors about your book including word count and level of formatting.

"Once again Rowanvale has come up trumps with my latest book, Darren's Dilemma. I have a few more in the pipeline and will be turning to Rowanvale again."

What The Package Includes

  • ISBN Assignment = We will provide your book with its own unique ISBN as part of the publication process. The ISBN is the legal labelling of a book and is the way of identifying each individual book from all other books by libraries, bookshops etc
  • Proofreading & Copy-Editing = Our team will provide you with high-quality, comprehensive editing by an expert Writing Advisor, who will take into account your preferences, followed by a further two proofreads so that your book is read through by three different pairs of editorial eyes
  • Bespoke Illustrations = If applicable (e.g. short story collections, poetry), your package can include working with a talented designer to produce tailored illustrations to include in your book. Your designer can collaborate with you to create the images that you'd envisioned when writing the book, and can provide concepts and ideas when you're not yet sure exactly what you need. Browse examples of our illustrations in the Design Galleries.
  • Cover Design = Pick between a Bespoke Graphic Design or Illustrative cover, created to represent your vision by a member of our talented design team. Browse examples of our cover designs in the Design Galleries.
  • eBook Internal Formatting = Your cover and internal files will be formatted to ensure they are suitable for conversion into eBook format. eBook retailers can be very picky about the specifications of the files, such as how many words per page, spacing and sizing, not to mention the use of external links, so it is important that these are formatted and presented correctly when eBook publishing
  • eBook Conversion = Your book will be converted into eBook format so that it can be read on e-reader devices
  • Paperback/Hardback Cover & Internal Formatting = This includes the layout and typesetting of both the internal and cover files and adding all the technical aspects to ensure that the book is suitable for publishing
  • Electronic Proof & Physical Proof Production = The design team will send you an electronic proof for you to review and then a physical proof copy will be printed and sent to you for your approval. A lot of companies charge extra for this, but we feel it is a crucial (and also exciting!) aspect of the publication process, which is why it will always be included
  • Legal Registration of the Book = The text’s metadata, together with the publication date, will be sent to Nielsen Book Data for inclusion in their database used by the book selling trade. This information is used by bookshops/wholesalers for ordering purposes
  • Global Distribution (eBook) = Once published, eBooks can sell indefinitely all across the world without any reprinting and distribution costs. You will have the opportunity to focus your sales specifically on Amazon or distribute to other major eBook retailers including Apple, Kobo and Barnes & Noble
  • Global Distribution (paperback/hardback) = Once published, your book will be available through different worldwide Print On Demand distribution, which allows readers to order copies through major retailers such as Waterstones, Amazon, Barnes & Noble and thousands of bookshops worldwide.
  • Amazon Keyword and Category Research = Using top industry specialist software, the team will do an extensive keyword analysis for your book to help pick the strongest keywords to give it the most potential. They will also perform extensive category research to help find niche categories to get you more sales. This research also helps establish how many sales that day would be needed to make the book rank in the top 10, as well as how many are needed in order for the book to be the new #1 bestseller
  • Marketing & Aftercare Service = You will receive ongoing guidance from our Marketing Advisors, following your publication, who will help you understand marketing strategies, Amazon and ways to increase your book’s visibility.
Guiding you through the process will be our dedicated Production Team, who can discuss options with you from a professional perspective. To learn more about our publishing package, Contact Us today!
