The Pro package has all the features of the previous packages and is for all-in authors looking to jumpstart their professional writing and book careers.

Meet Your Publishing Concierge

Tackling the self-publishing process is hard and can sometimes get overwhelming. That’s why included in the Pro Package, we offer a personal concierge to assist you with anything you need throughout your journey. A professionally knowledgeable, experienced publishing staff can offer you advice, answer your questions, and make the self-publishing route a little less stressful and a lot more exciting and positive.

Your Own Book Video

There is nothing more appealing and influencing than video marketing. Visually, a video that’s short and to the point can impact an audience’s decision within seconds. You’ll receive a book video, essentially a trailer for your book, detailing the synopsis of your book that can sell itself to your target audience. Can be digitally displayed on your author website, your social media platforms, and anywhere you see fit.

Royalty Reward

Receive royalty rates that are higher than industry standard for each book sold while controlling the price of the book.
