Expert Books
Underscore your expert status with a book.
Bring focus to your knowledge.
Sharing your expertise in a book ensures more people benefit from your knowledge. The book will build your brand, provide you with leveraging opportunities, and increase your revenue.
We write your book for you using our Expert Book Process™ (EBP™).
To get your book into the world, we distribute the paperback, hardcover, and ebook formats to 32,000+ online and offline retailers.
This product requires a screening process to ensure you meet the requirements for the EBP™. We are committed to reaching our goals together and need to ensure we are a good fit for each other.
The Expert Book Process™
In five months, your book will be complete without you ever putting pen to paper.
The EBP™ Journey
Discovery Call
This product is not for everyone.
Our first call ensures our process is an excellent fit for you. We want to set ourselves up for a successful experience together.
It is an opportunity for us to learn about you and answer any questions.
Pre-Production
Like a great movie or song, we set the stage.
Having reviewed your information, we align our shared vision for your book and go over our unique process. At the end of our call, we will have scheduled our first Expertise Exploration.
Expertise Exploration
Through a series of guided interviews, your Expertise Explorer extracts the core content of your book.
Using story beats to create a narrative arc, we work to take your knowledge and present it compellingly. Even the driest of topics become riveting with our process.
We learn how you became an expert, tell the stories that show your knowledge, give context to your skills, and the important insights you want to share with your readers.
During this phase, you will bring your expertise into focus. You will reflect on how your expertise impacts your life and could improve the lives of others.
Story Structuring
One of our Story Architects works with the content created in the Expertise Exploration phase and begins to complete the first draft of your manuscript.
During this phase, we analyze the content for story arc and character development to ensure great storytelling.
Where needed, we schedule time with you to flush out any missing details.
Story Magic
In this stage, a Storyteller completes the manuscript of your book.
In our experience, everyone has a story, but not everyone is a great storyteller. We make sure yours is a compelling read.
We ensure pace, flow, voice, and feel are perfect, bringing all elements to life.
We prepare the manuscript for editing.
Story Coaching
The follow through.
During the EBP™ process, we get to know your story uniquely and clearly understand your brand. You have taken us on the ride, and we have helped tell your story.
Spread across three sessions with a Story Coach, we dive into a strategy for applying your story and using it as a tool to develop your brand.
The Product Journey
Editing
By the end of this phase, we will have the finished manuscript text.
We go through the three stages of editing; developmental editing, line editing, and proofreading the first version of the manuscript.
Design
This phase takes your manuscript and turns it into beautifully designed, print-ready files.
We work on text formatting, typography, image layout, jacket design and provide a finished file ready for the second proofread.
Printing
Working with one of our print specialists, you will select your paper and print materials.
Your print-ready files are sent to the press to turn into hard copies.
You and the team receive sample copies for a third proofread.
With everything approved, we are ready for distribution, and a box of books will be arriving at your door.
Distribution
We take care of setting up your title with over 32,000 online stores, book shops, libraries, and schools.
Our marketing team works with our distributors to facilitate the ideal strategy for where and how your book is sold.
Your book is now on sale for the world to buy.
Notes:
For books with illustrations and designs, we commence those in the Story Exploration phase.
We work with you to collect back cover quotes and advance praise.
