My fifth novel - Restored Hope - was published on July 7.
I absolutely love the cover and I am not easy to please, but the art department at Strategic Books worked with me until I got EXACTLY what I was looking for - you be the judge.
I have a book signing scheduled for August 5, and had the manuscript in on April 10 - but we ran a little tight on time so they are shipping the books to me - air freight - their cost - now who does that in this economy?
Every department I worked with - from editing to print layout to production management all the way to the top with contract management has gone above and beyond. This is an exemplary publishing house in a time when that type of business is unheard of. And believe me, I know - I have 5 books - the first two were not with them - but they are the ONLY publishing house I will ever use - and I do mean EVER.
If you are thinking about publishing a book - poetry, non-fiction, children's - whatever, I urge you to seriously consider the Strategic House - you can find them at http://www.strategicbookmarketing.com/ ..... and this is completely an unsolicited recommendation from me - I am getting nothing in return, but the knowledge that I am passing on some valuable information to people I care about.
AND if you'd like to know more about the new book, you can check it out by going to: http://www.strategicpublishinggroup.com/title/RestoredHope.html
Brenda, I'm so happy for you! Great that you've found a publisher worthy of recommendation.
ReplyDeleteThank you! There are so many publishers out there that want to charge you for everything that you change and every little thing that gets done. It is really nice to know that there is one publishing house that is out there for the best interest of the author. Hopefully my advice can help at least one author from going through the same mistakes I made in my first two books!
