New style service offering

The difference between conventional publishing (one of the many differences) and self-publishing is that with conventional publishing, the author has no input in the all important cover design. That's because it's all important. Publishers are, surprise, surprise, in the business to make money. Last thing they want is overinvested, amateur minds interfering with their potential bottom line. The author's role ends with submitting the manuscript. Publishers have marketing departments bulging with experts who know exactly what cover designs sell books.

In contrast, Publishing Buddy, working exclusively with self-publishing authors, offers a collaborative approach to cover design. This can (almost invariably does) become an intellectual tussle between an inexperienced author, who wants every plot point and nuance of the story represented on the cover, and the experienced designer who knows that simple apposite graphical images always work best.

Which brings us to Publishing Buddy's innovative new service option. In this, we will guarantee to treat you in the same professional, businesslike way a conventional publisher treats their authors. You hand us a manuscript, and we'll dutifully ignore all your concerns, running roughshod over any creative suggestions you dare submit. And, with no reference whatsoever to your sensitivities, we'll return a fully formatted book complete with cover design as a faits accomplis.

This valuable upgrade is on offer for a limited time only for a mere uplift of 25% on our regular self-publishing price - wink, wink.
