Non-Fiction
Narrative non-fiction is where true events are reported in a narrative, as in
fiction novels. It follows the creative structure of exploring even those events
that may not be crucial to the entire report but are essential to transforming
conventional news or information into an interesting story. However, the overall
narrative is glued to the reality of the event to align with the definition of
non-fiction.
Creative nonfiction refers to the nonfiction subgenre that combines fiction
writing techniques to write truth-based content. The structure is story-like,
where the problem gradually builds till it reaches a solution-based climax.
However, the entire story is built within the bounds of truth. Creative
nonfiction also includes content that relays the information or truth in a
creative way.
The ghostwriting process for a nonfiction book about paranormal experiences
typically involves extensive interviews with the author to gather details about
their encounters. The ghostwriter then crafts a narrative using the author's
voice, ensuring that the experiences are accurately portrayed while maintaining
a captivating and engaging storyline.
Yes, maintaining authenticity is a priority in nonfiction ghostwriting.
Ghostwriters work closely with authors to capture the genuine emotions and
details of their experiences. While some narrative enhancements may be made for
readability, the goal is always to preserve the essence and truthfulness of the
author's paranormal encounters.
Ghostwriters approach paranormal topics with a high level of sensitivity. They
establish a rapport with the author, creating a safe space for open
communication. The goal is to respect the author's experiences and perspectives,
presenting them in a way that acknowledges the personal and sometimes profound
nature of paranormal encounters.
Absolutely. Ghostwriters are skilled in organizing and structuring information
to create a cohesive and engaging narrative. They collaborate with authors to
determine the best way to present the material, whether through chronological
storytelling, thematic organization, or a combination of both, ensuring a
well-structured and compelling nonfiction book.
The level of author involvement varies, but a successful collaboration often
includes regular communication and feedback. Authors are encouraged to share
their thoughts, review drafts, and provide additional details to ensure the
final manuscript aligns with their vision. The ghostwriting process is a
collaborative effort that aims to bring the author's voice and experiences to
the forefront while benefiting from the ghostwriter's storytelling expertise.
Fiction
Absolutely. Fiction ghostwriters are skilled in story development and can work
with you to shape your
narrative, plot, characters, and settings from scratch. Our team believes in
close collaboration with the

but not limited to
romance, mystery, science fiction, fantasy, historical fiction, and literary
fiction. The ghostwriter's
adaptability allows them to tailor their writing style to match the specific
requirements and nuances of
the chosen genre.
In fiction ghostwriting, the ghostwriter remains anonymous, and you retain full
authorship rights.
Contracts are established at the outset, clarifying the terms of the agreement,
including the transfer of
rights. This ensures that you have creative ownership of the work and that the
ghostwriter's
contribution remains confidential.
eBooks Ghostwriting
eBook ghostwriting is a service where you hire professional ghostwriters to
create content on behalf of an individual or organization. The process of eBook
ghostwriting involves collaboration, where the client provides ideas, outlines,
and relevant information while the ghostwriter transforms them into a cohesive
eBook that fits the relevant genre and its audience. The ghostwriter remains
anonymous and does not claim any credit or ownership rights.
Our experienced eBook ghostwriters are experts at capturing the client's voice
and style. A dedicated project manager collaborates with the client and serves

authorship rights. This ensures the client maintains full credit for the work

EDITING & FORMATTING
Editing involves a comprehensive content review, addressing structure, style,
and clarity. Proofreading focuses on surface errors like grammar and spelling.
Line editing polishes language and style for readability. Developmental editing
focuses on structure, plot, and thematic consistency for a cohesive narrative.
Formatting involves the arrangement of visual elements, and typesetting ensures
a consistent and aesthetically pleasing layout for your written material.
Editing service costs vary based on factors such as project complexity, word
count, and specific research requirements. We provide transparent pricing after
an initial consultation to tailor our services to your needs.
Developmental Editing
Developmental Editing is a vital step for manuscript enhancement. Developmental
editing is a thorough evaluation of your manuscript's content, structure, and
storytelling. This process pinpoints areas for improvement in plot development,
character arcs, pacing, and more. It’s an important process if you are unsure
whether your manuscript has reached its full potential.
The timeline for developmental editing varies based on factors such as
manuscript length and complexity. It generally takes several weeks to a month
for comprehensive developmental editing.
A proficient developmental editor works to enhance your manuscript while
preserving your unique voice and style. While providing valuable suggestions and
feedback for improvement, the final decisions on revisions always remain with
the author.
Developmental editing is about shaping a manuscript's overall structure,
content, and storytelling—focusing on plot development, character building,
pacing, and narrative flow. In contrast, copy editing addresses grammar,
punctuation, spelling, and style issues, ensuring an error-free, consistent, and
well-presented text. When comparing developmental editing vs. copy editing, the
former deals with the finer manuscript details along with the broader aspects.
Absolutely. At Amazon Publishing Experts, we encourage authors to communicate
their preferences and concerns. Whether you prioritize refining character
dynamics, addressing specific plot points, or enhancing thematic elements, our
developmental editors tailor their approach to meet your unique vision. Open
communication ensures a collaborative process that aligns with your creative
goals and elevates your manuscript to its fullest potential.
Structural Editing
Structural editing is a comprehensive process of refining the overall structure,
coherence, and effectiveness of a written work. This form of editing focuses
mainly on the pacing and organization. Rather than solely addressing
surface-level issues like grammar and punctuation, structural editing delves
deep into the fundamental components of the text, ensuring that the narrative
flows smoothly, engages the audience, and achieves its intended purpose. In
essence, structural editing aims to elevate the manuscript to its highest
potential, shaping it into a polished and compelling piece of literature.
Developmental editing refines your overall plot, characters, structure, and
content. On the other hand, structural editing only focuses on the flow and
structure of the manuscript.
Structural editing considers the book in a cohesive entirety while copyediting
focuses on individual paragraphs and sentences, addressing spelling and grammar
errors. This means that while individual paragraphs may undergo restructuring
for improved readability during copyediting, a copyedit does not address the
structure and the flow of the entire manuscript.
Several indicators suggest that your manuscript requires structural editing. If
you notice inconsistencies in plot development, pacing issues, or character
arcs, or if you feel that the overall flow of your narrative is disjointed or
lacks coherence, it is best to hire professional editors for structural editing.
Additionally, feedback from beta readers or peers can point out structural
weaknesses. Ultimately, if you want to enhance the overall readability,
engagement, and effectiveness of your manuscript, investing in structural
editing is a wise decision.
The cost of structural editing can vary depending on several factors, including
the length of the manuscript and the complexity of the content. Typically,
structural editing rates are calculated either per word, per page, or as a flat
fee for the entire manuscript. To determine the exact cost of structural editing
for your manuscript, it's recommended to request quotes from multiple editors or
editing services and inquire about their pricing structures and any additional
fees that may apply.
Line Editing
A line editor goes line by line, tightening sentence structure to make the
language sharper and clearer. They examine how a writer's word choice and syntax
affect the tone or mood of a piece of literature.
Line editing differs from structural editing. While structural editing, the
editor takes a broad picture of your novel's style and structure, whereas line
editing edits the stylistic decisions you make while writing.
Structural editing considers the book in a cohesive entirety while copyediting
focuses on individual paragraphs and sentences, addressing spelling and grammar
errors. This means that while individual paragraphs may undergo restructuring
for improved readability during copyediting, a copyedit does not address the
entire manuscript's structure and flow.
Line editing occurs before copy editing. Line editors are generally concerned
with stylistic issues, whereas copy editors deal with technicalities. Copy
editing ensures that a manuscript's wording meets conventional English
conventions and is consistent with the house style guide. While a line editor
and a copy editor share some characteristics—attention to detail and an interest
in how language functions at the sentence level—their tasks are fundamentally
different.
The duration of line editing depends on various factors, including the length
and complexity of your manuscript, as well as the specific requirements of the
editing service. Typically, line editing can take anywhere from several days to
a few weeks to complete.
Formatting Typesetting
Of course, it is. If you have a particular typeface in mind, please let us know.
However, we recommend you avoid utilizing unorthodox typefaces such as Brush
Script, Comic Sans, or any other decorative typeface. We know the typefaces that
work for print and which do not, as well as which will burn out or bleed.
Finally, we always do what is best for our clients. That being said, if you have
a specific typeface preference, whether for chapter headings, body text, or
ornaments, please let us know so we can style accordingly.
Amazon uses MOBI files for eBooks, but nearly everyone else uses EPUBS files,
including iBooks, Kobo, and Barnes & Noble.
Formatting and typesetting are the processes of designing and arranging text,
graphics, and other elements in a document to make it visually appealing,
readable, and suitable for popular platforms. You need it to improve the overall
quality and visual impact of your material, making it more accessible and
engaging to your target audience.
Yes, we offer formatting and typesetting services in a variety of languages and
unique characters.

team that can help with various types of scholarly publications and styles,
including Harvard, MLA, and APA formatting. We also offer dissertation and
thesis formatting services to students of all levels.
Publishing
As a self-published author, you either publish the book yourself or get help
from a professional self-publishing company to publish your work on platforms
like Amazon KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing), Barnes & Noble, etc. In this
instance, the author pays the publishing company to handle the publishing
process for them. Self-publishing services commonly include designing the book
cover, interior layout or page setting, editing the manuscript, assigning ISBN,
marketing, and distribution. You will be involved in different aspects of the
book publishing process leading up to the final published copy.
An ISBN (International Standard Book Number) is a 10- or 13-digit identification
number that allows publishers, readers, and libraries to locate specific titles.
ISBN is crucial for publishing your book on platforms like Amazon, Barnes &
Noble, etc. Every version of a book, including hardcover, paperback, second
editions, etc., must have unique ISBNs.
The timeline for the publishing process can vary based on several factors,
including the complexity of the manuscript, the author's involvement, and the
current workload. However, on average, the process from manuscript submission to
book release takes approximately 6 to 12 months. It's important to note that
each book is unique, and our team works diligently to ensure the highest quality
throughout every production stage.
We offer a comprehensive suite of marketing and promotion services to help your
book gain visibility and reach its target audience. Our services include author

your eBook to be printable in paperback and hardcover form.

Full Color Publishing
Full-color publishing services are comprehensive solutions to produce
high-quality printable books with vibrant, full-color graphics and images.
Full-color publishing, also known as four-color printing, utilizes the CMYK
color model (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) to reproduce a wide range of
colors, resulting in vivid images. On the other hand, standard publishing may
use only one or two colors, limiting the visual appeal of the final product.
Enhanced Visual Appeal: Full-color printing brings your designs to life with
vibrant colors and sharp details, capturing the attention of your target
audience.
Professional Image: High-quality, full-color materials convey professionalism and credibility, making a positive impression on readers.

runs or inventory, as books are printed only when required or ordered.
Full-color publishing services may include print-on-demand options, enabling
authors and publishers to produce vibrant, full-color books without the upfront

comic book publishing only allows for the publication of digital comics, the
platforms also offer print-on-demand options. It allows you to distribute
printed copies of your comic book to your readers. This option allows your
readers to order tangible copies of your comic, which is less expensive and more
convenient than traditional printing and distribution. The author can make their
comics accessible for print on demand in a variety of formats, including saddle
stitch binding, black and white, and full-color comics.
Childrens' Book
A children's book should be between 28 and 32 pages long, including pictures.
Younger readers like 300-800 words in their books, whereas school-aged
youngsters can often take roughly 1200 words. A children's picture book should
be limited to 2,000 words.
Other than the front matter, which includes the title page and copyright page,
children's book themes typically include spreads. Children's books should have
at least 14 spreads. Spreads are two-page sets that contain either pictures,
text, or both. The number of words in those 14 spreads varies depending on the
age of the target readers.
Assessing the readiness of your manuscript involves several steps. Firstly,
ensure that your story is engaging and age-appropriate for your target audience.
Consider seeking feedback from beta readers or joining a writers' group for
constructive critique. Additionally, evaluate if your manuscript adheres to
industry standards in terms of formatting, language, and structure. It's also
essential to research and understand the current trends and preferences in
children's literature to ensure your book stands out in the market.
Finding the right publisher for your children's book requires thorough research
and preparation. Start by identifying publishers that specialize in children's
literature and align with your book's genre and themes. Review their submission
guidelines carefully and ensure your manuscript meets their requirements.
Consider attending writing conferences or workshops where you can network with
industry professionals and learn more about different publishing houses. It's
also helpful to seek recommendations from fellow authors or literary agents who
may have insights into reputable publishers in the children's book market.
While it's not mandatory, illustrations are a crucial aspect of children's books
as they enhance storytelling and engage young readers. If you're not an
illustrator yourself, you'll likely need to collaborate with one. Start by
researching illustrators whose style complements your story and resonates with
your target audience. You can find illustrators through online platforms, social
media, or by attending illustration events and exhibitions. When approaching
illustrators, be clear about your budget, timeline, and vision for the
illustrations. Consider creating a contract outlining the terms of the
collaboration to ensure clarity and professionalism throughout the process.
Here are the primary categories of children’s books:
Categories | Age Group | Word Count | Number of Pages |
---|---|---|---|
Board Book | 0-4 yrs. | Less than 100 | 16-24 |
Picture Book | 4-6 yrs. | 200-500 | 24-32 |
Non-fiction Picture Books | 5+ yrs. | 10000-30000 | 32-64 |
Early Readers | 4-6 yrs. | 300-1200 | 32-48 |

Cook Book
Not at all! We offer cookbook publishing services to everyone, including
culinary aficionados, home cooks, and food bloggers, as well as professional
chefs and experienced culinary artists. Our expert staff collaborates directly
with you to ensure that your cookbook fulfills industry standards and brings
your distinct culinary vision to life.
We supply you with the final book in numerous forms, including typeset, right
page size, margins, and print-ready artwork. You can have them printed and
delivered simply by selecting the option on the publishing site.
Publishing cookbooks is a distinct specialization in the publishing industry.
You can either sell your culinary knowledge to traditional cookbook publishing
businesses or self-publish your recipe book on reputable platforms as an indie
cookbook publisher, which is a less expensive choice. Cookbook printing costs
differ from other books because it is a pictorial book with a systemic
organization of content. It often requires you to invest in graphic services to
improve the appeal of your recipe and entire book.
However, this investment yields a significant return because consumers prefer to read cookbooks that include bright images of the prepared food. You can browse Amazon to view several published cookbooks that have bright photographs of prepared recipes, along with the other components of a recipe book.

You can browse Amazon to view several published cookbooks that have bright photographs of prepared recipes, along with the other components of a recipe book.
Our cookbooks measure 5.5″ W x 8.5″ H, making them ideal for kitchen usage and
bookshelf storage. The 3-ring binders and hardback covers are slightly bigger,
but the text pages remain 5.5"W x 8.5"H.
Cookbooks are a nonfiction genre that includes several sub-genres. Cookbook
sub-genres are mostly defined by their intended audience. For example, if your
dishes come from Asian culture, your cookbook's sub-genre will be Asian or
oriental cuisines, yet if they are convenient comfort food, the book will become
a young adult cookbook.
Book Marketing
Book marketing significantly impacts the visibility and success of authors’
work. A well-executed book marketing plan strategy ensures the book reaches its
target audience, generating interest and loyal readership. Authors can achieve
this through strategic promotion, active social media engagement, and targeted
marketing efforts.
We conduct regular analysis of search engine rankings and generate audit reports
to monitor the progress of book marketing campaigns. Our marketing team ensures
that these audit reports are shared with authors regularly throughout the
campaign.
Paid and organic are the two primary approaches to book marketing. Organic
marketing focuses on improving a book's search engine ranking through affordable
SEO services and social media leverage. However, we do not directly pay the
search engines in an organic approach. In contrast, paid marketing involves
financial investments in platforms like social media sites. Notably, paid
marketing often gives quicker results compared to the more gradual progress of
organic marketing.
Social media plays a significant role in the modern book marketing plan.
Platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok are valuable tools
for authors to connect with their readers. Authors can build a dedicated
community by sharing book updates and participating in engaging discussions.
Effective hashtags, engaging content, and engaging interaction with followers
contribute to the success of social media in promoting books.
Author Website
Your author website should include an author bio, bookshelf content, a mailing
list sign-up, a blog section, contact information, and a media page.
Yes, we offer comprehensive services related to the author's website. Our
website maintenance services include regular updates, content management,
security monitoring, and performance optimization.
The cost of an author's website design varies depending on your individual needs
and requirements. The price is influenced by factors such as design, page count,
and features. At Amazon Publishing Experts, we provide numerous price options
to fit a variety of budgets. We offer author-book website templates as
cost-effective options for aspiring writers.
We're happy to compose your content for you, create particular pages for you, or
revise any content you create yourself to ensure it's clear, captivating, and
accurate.
Yes, our coaches and consultants will be pleased to you the "back end" of your
website and explain how to add and change material and pages. However, if you
don't want to manage the technology yourself, you can hire a designer to assist
you with any future upgrades, tweaks, or technically advanced tasks!
Seo Marketing
Being strategically located on the internet is critical for all authors. SEO for
authors provides a distinctive communication channel for reaching out to
potential clients.
The idea behind organic ranking in SEO services for authors is to rank up your
brand and book by optimizing your website and making it perform even better on
the internet.
SEO book marketing entails enhancing your book's online presence to increase its
exposure in search engine results. Unlike traditional book promotion, which may
rely on events and media coverage, SEO digital marketing uses keywords, content,
and online methods to attract people actively looking for books in your category
or topic.
The timetable for SEO results can vary depending on factors such as competition
and your book's topic. In general, authors may notice gains in search engine
rankings within a few weeks to months, with more significant effects over time
as the marketing of SEO content and overall approach grow.
A website or author platform can help with SEO marketing, but it is not a must.
You can use additional online channels, such as social media, Amazon Author
Central, or book-related forums, to employ SEO methods and efficiently promote
your book.
Content Marketing
You must develop a specialized content marketing plan to properly engage your
target readers. Begin by researching online what kind of websites, social media
platforms, and genre-related forums your target audience visits. Once you've
identified these areas, tailor your content to attract and communicate with
them!
Every indie author should opt for content marketing for their author work. It is
one of the most effective strategies to capture the attention of more readers,
allowing you to sell more books and build a large following.
Having an authentic brand voice simply means that you are consistently true to
your writing style as an independent author. For example, if your books are
incredibly serious, yet your content marketing is amusing, you deliver
contradictory messages. However, if you use the same tactic and tone in your
digital marketing as you do in your books, your target audience will know you're
genuine. Each potential reader who discovers your books will consider purchasing
them because they value your voice. All you need to do is be yourself! As an
author, you draw readers in with your touch, tone, and cadence. When you keep
true to that voice, your readers will know they can relate to you.
Authors can assess content marketing success using key performance indicators
such as web traffic, metrics of engagement (likes, shares, and comments),
click-through rates, book sales, and audience feedback.
Book marketing benefits from a variety of content marketing services, such as
blog posts, articles, social media material, Press releases, blurbs, email
newsletters, videos, and podcasts
Social Media Marketing
Social media marketing for book marketing entails using social media platforms
such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and others to promote and sell books. It's
critical because it gives authors a direct way to interact with their readers,
establish a loyal fan following, and promote book sales.
Social media marketing packages vary, but they typically include content
production, audience research, posting schedules, paid advertising management,
and performance tracking. Additionally, services may include hosting contests,
planning virtual book releases, and managing author accounts to ensure a
constant online presence.
The timescale for seeing results varies depending on a number of factors,
including the author's current online presence, the engagement with the
audience, and the exact marketing methods used. In general, authors may expect
improved interaction and brand exposure within a few weeks to months. Social
media marketing is a continuous activity that gains traction over time.
Hyperlocal SMM is a method that focuses on a specific geographic place in order
to engage potential clients in that area. This method can be quite useful for
authors of certain genres.
Authors can evaluate the success of their social media marketing strategies
through various metrics and indicators. Here's a comprehensive guide:
Engagement Metrics: Monitor metrics such as likes, shares, comments, and retweets on social media posts. Higher engagement indicates that your content resonates with your audience and encourages interaction.
Follower Growth: Track the growth of your followers over time. A steady increase in followers signifies that your content is attracting new audiences and expanding your reach.
Website Traffic: Use analytics tools to measure the amount of traffic driven to your website or blog from social media platforms. An increase in website visits suggests that your social media efforts are effectively directing users to your content.
Conversion Rate: Monitor the conversion rate of social media users into subscribers, email sign-ups, or book purchases. Analyzing conversion rates helps determine the effectiveness of your call-to-action strategies and the relevance of your content to your target audience.
Audience Demographics: Utilize social media analytics tools to gain insights into the demographics of your audience, including age, gender, location, and interests. Understanding your audience demographics enables you to tailor your content to better meet their preferences and interests.
Brand Mentions and Sentiment: Keep track of mentions of your author's brand or book titles across social media platforms. Assess the sentiment associated with these mentions to gauge the overall perception of your brand and identify areas for improvement.
