= PUBLISHE= RS, LINES, AND TITLES FOR SALE 

 

Hello…   

As we swing into the second month of 2020, I have a fair number= of reasonably inexpensive listings for sale.

But first, instead of last, I want to take a minute and do two = promotions about our own services for publishers and authors. Then, al= l the listings I have for sale plus a few that I haven’t even cl= osed up yet but feel strongly about giving you a sneak peek before the= y go on the market.

 

EDITING, PROOFREADING, LAYOUT, AND GHOSTWRI= TING SERVICES

 

Unlike many such services, I believe in fair pricing, efficient= service, and a finished quality product. We do NOT do any of this wor= k with apps or software or any other ‘shortcuts’. <= /p>

<!·= ;   &nbs= p;    We read… and we edit for cl= arity, efficient use of words, and accuracy of thought.

<!&middo= t;   &nb= sp;    We read… and we proof for = syntax (yep, they’re taxing that too!), punctuation, spelling, a= nd everything else.

<!&middo= t;   &nb= sp;    We can optionally lay out the fin= al book to make it print ready, letting you know if and what is missin= g for final.

<!&middo= t;   &nb= sp;   We also ghostwrite. Frankly, I never th= ought much about ghostwriting since I assumed it was a pretty limited = field. But, since making us available a few years back for ghostwritin= g, I have done five full length titles. 

<!·=     = ;   In a ghostwrite, if there is = an author, she/he does all of her/his notes in audio and we do the res= t. No writing, no writers block… just talk!

 

Pricing is straightforward:

Copy Editing only  =           &n= bsp; $.025 per word, ($25 per thousand)

Proofreading only           =    $.015 per word, ($15 per thousand)

Editing & Proofing  =             $.03   per word, ($30 per thousan= d) SAVE 25%=

Simple Layout  &nbs= p;           &n= bsp;     $3.00 per running page, end t= o end

Complex Layout  &nb= sp;           &= nbsp;  We will quote you when we see the layout

Ghostwriting   = ;           &nb= sp;       $.10-$.15 per word= depending on complexity

 

Delivery is also straightforward:

On average, three working days per 10,000 words.

Longer projects, oddly enough, take less time.

50,000 words takes 12 days; 100,000 words takes 20 days.=

Let us know if you are in a rush.

 

Contact me directly for these services at mfoner@nplconsult.com . Let me know which serv= ices you require, the length of the manuscript, and if you need ghostw= riting, and I will get back with you promptly.

= COMPLETE SERVICES FOR PUBLISHERS FROM PR & MEDIA TO TRADE &= ; NON-BOOK RETAIL, TO BULK & CUSTOM, AND ADVICE ON THE OPTIMAL OPE= RATION OF YOUR PUBLISHING COMPANY WHETHER ONE BOOK OR A THOUSAND&helli= p;

= And YES, You CAN Afford it…

 

Here Are the Basics of Our Complete Publishers Program:=

 

<!·= ;   &nbs= p;    We will provide you with complete = PR & Media solicitation for a new or relaunched title… for = an entire year… minimum two promotions a month, per title, reac= hing hundreds of National & Regional Media, Newspapers, Book Revie= w sources, and more.

 

<!&middo= t;   &nb= sp;    We will put your title up on our = Bulk & Custom website with its own webpage, for an entire year&hel= lip; and promote and sell your title in Bulk to our buyers. We have so= ld into the millions of units in Bulk & Custom all over the countr= y as well as abroad.

 

<!&middo= t;   &nb= sp;    We will solicit both trade and no= n-book retail for your title as appropriate… for an entire year= . If you believe that “List it on Amazon” is a legitimate = and complete marketing strategy, then we can likely assist in getting = your title placed in bookstores, specialty outlets, Costco, Staples, a= nd other high traffic locations.

 

<!&middo= t;   &nb= sp;    We will show you how to use the 5= 0 Ways to Leave Amazon to your advantage with this title and your line= if applicable… for an entire year… including involving = your authors, creative ways of selling… co branding and co sell= ing with other titles… and more.

<!&middo= t;   &nb= sp;    We will do a complete review of y= our operation and advise areas of weakness, improvement, and ways to c= reate more revenue as well as cut costs… and continue advising = you and following up point by point… we do a complete review on= ce… and then update that review on a quarterly basis… fo= r an entire year.

 

<!&middo= t;   &nb= sp;    Optionally, we can create a Strat= egic Plan for your company if you do not already have one… a cr= itical success tool for your business.

 

<!&middo= t;   &nb= sp;    Optionally, we can also come on s= ite and consult with you.

 

<!·=     = ;    And finally, if you would rather di= scuss “getting out” than staying in, we a= re happy to discuss Exit Strategies, provide a ballpark valuation, how= to structure your company for the highest price, and help you down th= e path to a successful sale of your business.

 

And without getting into the details of our skill set or the sp= ecifics of the services involved… WE CAN DO ALL OF THIS because= WE ALREADY DO IT FOR OUR OWN PUBLISHING COMPANY and FOR OUR CLIENTS i= n various forms. From Start-up to Exit Strategy… we have done i= t all; we are doing it all NOW.

 

Ok, so what does it cost?

The Basic price of this service for a s= ingle title for an entire year is $2,995., complete. This is a 50% dis= count from our regular pricing.

$3,995., complete, for two titles for t= he entire year.

Ask for our Synopsis and Agreement to revie= w the specifics... mfoner@npl= consult.com 

 

While I would love to take some space and time now to cover the= world of publishing news, I will limit myself to simply wondering wha= t the hell is going on in Missouri? Are you really trying to go back i= n time to a time 50 or 100 years ago?

The big issue for us as publishers, readers, and libraries is t= hat the state is now trying to empower ‘citizen boards’ to= decide what books in libraries are acceptable for children. I thought= book banning was an ancient concept, though we know it still goes on = quietly. Well, not only isn’t it an ancient concept, but the law= as proposed would JAIL librarians in contravention of the ultimate de= cisions of the citizens boards. This just pushed you back almost a hun= dred years. Gotta wonder???

 

Ok, now that I have that out of the way…
