The Publishing Process
Made Easy
You’ve
written your book. Now what?
You’ve spent countless hours developing your book and getting
it just right before sending it to a publisher to be printed. Now, you’re
faced with the difficult task of finding the right publisher – at the right
cost – to produce the book you’ve always dreamed of creating. Benchmark Press
will make this process as simple, cost-effective and hassle-free as possible.
With Benchmark Press you will take control of the book publishing
process. We will meet with you to discuss your vision for your book, as well
as the publishing services we offer. Then, you decide which of these services
you want us to manage for you. The following is a list of services that you
can select from:
- Research
- Ghostwriting
- Editing
- Proofreading
- Administrative and
Legal Requirements
- Text layout
- Graphics/Photo layout
- Cover design
- Marketing and Promotions
During our meeting, we will be happy to answer any questions
you may have about the publishing process. We will also go through the costs
associated with each service and establish a final quote for the project.
Following the meeting, a contract will be drawn up detailing
the services you’ve hired from Benchmark Press and the final quote for the
project. Once the contract is signed, the staff of Benchmark Press will start
developing your book.
After we have completed the book’s design, we will send you
a printed and/or electronic copy of your book for your approval. Once your
book is approved, it will be sent to the printer, and you will receive copies
of your new book within a few weeks.
The final step of the
publishing process is the marketing and distribution of your book. Benchmark
Press is here to help you inform readers about your upcoming book, and we
will do so through a number of avenues including media releases, listings
on major Internet bookstores and search engines, and direct faxes. As a Benchmark
Press author, you will also receive all of the money generated from your book
sales. That’s right, unlike other book publishing firms, Benchmark Press does
not receive royalties from your book sales, which means more money for you,
the author.
