What Services Are Included In Your Flat Fee?

bullet

At Whitehallpublishing.com, we provide you with pre-editing, editing, custom cover design, typesetting, and 500 FREE copies of your finished book (for ALL trade books of 51 - 300 pages in length with B&W interiors) and we do that for a flat, fixed fee.  

bullet

Among the many steps included in the Premium Level are professional pre-publishing review of your book.  During this stage of the process, we will read your manuscript and provide you with "notes" on tone, direction, characters, marketing strategies and much more.  This is before the formal editing process begins and is designed to help you take your original manuscript from great idea to effective, marketable finished work.  This service is what separates Whitehallpublishing.com from all other companies who offer author-assisted publishing services.  Our goal is not JUST to publish your book.  Our goal is to help you create a book that is not only your best work, but is also marketable after it is published.  Again, you are in the driver's seat so while our professionals may provide you with "notes", the final decision will always be up to you.  I can say that without exception, all of our authors have had a "light bulb" moment when they read the "notes" and realized that their book could go to the next level of excellence by making some or all of the changes we recommended. 

bullet

At Whitehallpublishing.com we are on your side.  We share your dream of creating the best book and to that end, we are happy to share with you our years of publishing and marketing experience to help you create a finished product that will not only make you proud, but one that  will also have the most impact on your readers and one that can move your writing career to the next level.

How Do I Get Started?

bullet

When you are ready to publish your book, simply e-mail us a note to info@whitehallpublishing.com with the basic specs of your book (page count, trim size, number of copies you would like to print on your first print run - remember that the first 500 are included in the premium level package) and we will send you a publishing contract that you can review, sign and fax back to us. We are happy to bill any major credit card for your convenience or you are welcome to pay by check or Pay Pal.  We split your total payment due into three installments both for your convenience and for your protection. You can also process each of your three installment payments through our secure shopping cart by following this link.  Your first payment is only 50% of the total flat fee and it is due upon contract signing.  The second installment is due after the book is fully edited, cover design is completed and we are ready to go to press.  At that point, 40% of the remaining balance will come due and the third and final 10% installment payment will not come due until your books are delivered to you after publication.

bullet

Once we receive your signed contract and payment information, we will e-mail you asking for your manuscript to be sent as an attachment in an e-mail to us (in .doc or .txt format) or through the post via CD-Rom. 

bullet

We will also send you the marketing questionnaire and our six E-reports so you can get started on it right away.

bulletOnce your manuscript arrives, we will begin in earnest, the publication of your book!

Pricing Information

Books can be published in a wide variety of trim sizes (height and width of the book). We work on a flat fee basis on all elements of your project.  We don't like surprises anymore than you do and for that reason, we want you to know exactly what your costs will be, before you sign any contracts with us. Our goal is to put you in the driver's seat on your project both creatively and financially.

Flat fees on the Premium Level are:

bullet

$2500.00 for books under 50 pages + your print costs, (this would include children's full-color, hard cover books),

bullet

$4250.00 for books from 51 to 200 pages in length, (this covers most trade paperbacks and soft cover how-to books),

bullet

$4750.00 for books between 201 and 300 pages in length, (this covers most novels),

bullet

NOTE: We can not include print costs in the flat fee for full color children's story books because interior color is more complex, however, we can get you the best print bids in the world for your full color children's story book. Once we have all the specs from you, we will get you a firm printing price before you sign any contracts with us because we do not like surprises anymore than you do!  

Once The Contracts Are Signed, Then What?

bullet

After contracts are signed and your first installment payment is received, we officially begin the publishing process.

bullet

We will ask you to send us your manuscript via e-mail as an attached .doc and we will send you a marketing package and six E-reports that will become the cornerstone of your marketing plan for the book.

bullet

Once we have your Manuscript, we will have it professionally pre-edited and edited for you,

bullet

We will have the book cover professionally custom designed and created for you,

bullet

We will provide all the ISBN numbers, bar codes and other information necessary to qualify your book for sale in bookstores, libraries and other retail outlets,

bullet

We will provide you with space on our website and, if you need our help, we will assist you in obtaining pre-publication reviews for your book so that we can include reviews on the back cover before going to press,

bullet

We will make sure it is listed in Books in Print, Amazon.com and on our website. 

bullet

We will submit your book's information to the two largest distribution outlets in the USA (Ingram and Baker & Taylor) as well as with Western International.  Between the three of these companies, they represent the largest distributors to the bookstore, library and general interest markets in the United States. 

bullet

Once the editing, cover and inside artwork is done, we will e-mail everything back to you for your review and approval.  As part of the flat fee, we provide authors with two complete passes through the book to make any changes you would like to make during the two phases of the editing process.  Once you have finished your second pass and returned the file to us, should you decide to make any additional changes to the book, these will be billed at an hourly rate of $50.00 per hour.

bullet

When the book is ready to go to print, we will work hand in hand with the printer to ensure that your book gets all the attention it deserves,

bullet

During all phases of the publishing process, you have the final word on all decisions made concerning your book.

bullet

Finally, the finished books will be delivered to the address of your choice and our job is complete.

How Am I Billed?

Credit cards are the easiest and most efficient means of billing, but we are happy to work with checks or Pay Pal.

When contracts are signed and returned to us with your manuscript (via e-mail), we will bill you only 50% of the flat fee for the brokering of the project, at that time.  This can be paid via any major credit card in any major currency (for authors outside the USA) through our secured shopping cart by following this link.

When the book goes to the printer, you will be expected to pay the second installment of our fee (40%).  This can also be processed through our secured shopping cart by following this link.

When the books are completed and delivered to you, our final 10% payment comes due and this marks the completion of our work.  This final payment can also be paid through our secured shopping cart by following this link.

Welcome to the Whitehallpublishing.com family.  We look forward to working with you to bring your book to life!
