Pre-Publishing Report
The Pre-Publishing Report (PPR) is designed for writers who want clarity, confidence, and a real-world vision of their book. It includes a copyright search of your title, preliminary cover art, mock back cover text, sample page design, and reader persona insights designed to help identify the audiences most aligned with your book.
Step 1: Consultation
Schedule a consultation with a Publishing Services Consultant to discuss your book and your vision. They’ll walk you through the publishing process and explain the options available—so you know exactly what to expect moving forward.
Step 2: Author Information
This is your time to shine. Share your author photo, a summary of your book, and any ideas you have for the cover or overall style. Your input helps shape how your story—and you as an author—are presented professionally. This information allows our team to align the creative direction with your vision from the very beginning.
Step 3: Creation
Our team carefully reviews your manuscript and develops the foundation of your Pre-Publishing Report. During this stage, we explore the themes, audience, and potential positioning of your book while creating preliminary concepts designed to bring your vision to life. The result is a personalized roadmap that helps you better understand the opportunities available moving forward.
Step 4: Review Your PPR & Next Steps
Review your Pre-Publishing Report and see your book come into focus. From professional design concepts to market insights and strategic recommendations, the PPR gives you a clear picture of what publishing could look like for your project. With a deeper understanding of your options and a defined direction, you’ll be empowered to decide how—and when—you’re ready to move forward.
