What Services Are Included In Your Flat
Fee?
 |
At Whitehallpublishing.com, we provide you with pre-editing, editing, custom cover
design, typesetting, and 500 FREE copies of your finished book
(for ALL trade books of 51 - 300 pages in length
with B&W interiors) and we do that for a
flat, fixed fee. |
 |
Among the many steps included in the Premium Level are professional
pre-publishing review of your book.
During this stage of the process, we will read your manuscript and provide you
with "notes" on tone, direction, characters, marketing strategies and much
more. This is before the formal editing process begins and is designed
to help you take your original manuscript from great idea to
effective, marketable finished work. This service is what separates
Whitehallpublishing.com from all other companies who offer author-assisted
publishing services. Our goal is not JUST to publish your book.
Our goal is to help you create a book that is not
only your best work, but is also marketable after it is
published. Again, you are in the driver's seat so while our
professionals may provide you with "notes", the final decision will always be
up to you. I can say that without exception, all of our authors have had
a "light bulb" moment when they read the "notes" and realized that their book
could go to the next level of excellence by making some or all of the changes
we recommended. |
 |
At
Whitehallpublishing.com we are on your side.
We share your dream of creating the best book and to that end, we are happy to
share with you our years of publishing and marketing experience to help you
create a finished product that will not only make you proud, but one that
will also have the most impact on your readers and one that can move your
writing career to the next level. |

How Do I Get Started?
 |
When you are ready to publish your book, simply e-mail us a note to
info@whitehallpublishing.com with the basic specs of your book (page
count, trim size, number of copies you would like to print on your first print
run - remember that the first 500 are included in the premium level package) and we
will send you a publishing contract
that you can review, sign and fax back to us. We are happy to bill any major
credit card for your convenience or you are welcome to pay by check or Pay Pal.
We split your total payment due into three installments both for your
convenience and for your protection. You can also process each of your three installment payments through our
secure shopping cart by
following this link. Your first payment is only 50% of the total
flat fee and it is due upon contract signing. The second installment is
due after the book is fully edited, cover design is completed and we are ready
to go to press. At that point, 40% of the remaining balance will come
due and the third and final 10% installment payment will not come due until
your books are delivered to you after publication. |
 |
Once we receive your signed contract and payment information, we will
e-mail you asking for your manuscript to be sent as an attachment in an e-mail
to us (in .doc or .txt format) or through the post via CD-Rom. |
 |
We will also send you the marketing questionnaire and our six E-reports so you can get started on it
right away. |
 | Once your manuscript arrives, we will begin in earnest, the publication of your book! |
Pricing Information
Books can be published in a wide variety of trim sizes
(height and width of the book). We work on a flat fee basis on all elements of
your project. We don't like surprises anymore than you do and for that
reason, we want you to know exactly what your costs will be, before you sign any
contracts with us. Our goal is to put you in the driver's seat on your project
both creatively and financially.
Flat fees on the
Premium Level are:
 |
$2500.00 for books under 50 pages + your print costs, (this would
include children's full-color, hard cover books),
|
 |
$4250.00 for books from 51 to 200 pages in length, (this covers most trade paperbacks and
soft cover how-to books),
|
 |
$4750.00 for books between 201 and 300 pages in length, (this
covers most novels),
|
 |
NOTE: We can not include print costs in the flat fee
for full color children's story books because interior color is more complex,
however, we can get you the best print bids in the world for your full color
children's story book.
Once we have all the specs from you, we will get you a firm printing
price before you sign any contracts with us because we do not like surprises
anymore than you do!
|
Once The Contracts Are Signed, Then What?
 |
After contracts are signed and your first installment payment is received, we
officially begin the publishing process.
|
 |
We will ask you to send us your manuscript
via e-mail as an attached .doc and we will send you a marketing package and six
E-reports that
will become the cornerstone of your marketing plan for the book.
|
 |
Once we have your Manuscript, we will have it professionally
pre-edited and edited for you,
|
 |
We will have the book cover professionally
custom designed and
created for you,
|
 |
We will provide all the ISBN numbers, bar codes and
other information necessary to qualify your book for sale in bookstores,
libraries and other retail outlets,
|
 |
We will provide you with space on our website and,
if you need our help, we will
assist you in obtaining pre-publication reviews for your book so that we can include reviews on the
back cover before going to press,
|
 |
We will make sure it is listed in
Books in Print, Amazon.com and on our website.
|
 |
We will submit your book's information to
the two largest distribution outlets in the USA (Ingram and Baker & Taylor) as
well as with Western International. Between the three of these companies,
they represent the largest distributors to the bookstore, library and general
interest markets in the United States.
|
 |
Once the editing, cover and inside artwork is done, we
will e-mail everything back to you for your review and approval. As part
of the flat fee, we provide authors with two complete passes through the book to make any changes
you would like to make during the two phases of the editing process. Once you
have finished your second pass and returned the file to us, should you decide to
make any additional changes to the book, these will be billed at an hourly rate
of $50.00 per hour.
|
 |
When the book is ready to go to print, we will
work hand in hand with the printer to ensure that your book gets all the
attention it deserves,
|
 |
During all phases of the publishing process, you have the final word on
all decisions made concerning your book.
|
 |
Finally, the finished books will be delivered to the address of your
choice and our job is complete.
|
How Am I Billed?
Credit cards are the easiest and most efficient means of
billing, but we are happy to work with checks or Pay Pal.
When contracts are signed and returned to us with your
manuscript (via e-mail), we will bill you only 50% of the flat fee for the brokering of the
project, at
that time. This can be paid via any major credit card in any major
currency (for authors outside the USA) through our secured shopping cart
by following this link.
When the book goes to the printer, you will
be expected to pay the second installment of our fee (40%). This can also
be processed through our
secured shopping cart
by following this link.
When the books are completed and delivered
to you, our final 10% payment comes due and this marks the
completion of our work. This final payment can also be paid through our
secured shopping
cart by following this link.
Welcome to the
Whitehallpublishing.com family. We look forward to working with you to
bring your book to life!
