What Services Are Included In Your Flat Fee?

At Whitehallpublishing.com, we provide you with pre-editing, editing, custom
cover design, typesetting, layout and remember that for a limited time we are
including the first 400 books FREE of CHARGE for those authors who are
creating trade paperbacks with b&w interiors) Sorry, but this special offer
does not cover color interiors or hard cover books.

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 just one of several that separates Whitehallpublishing.com
from all other companies who offer author-assisted publishing services. Our
goal is to help you create your best work that 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 a "light bulb" moment
when they read the "notes" and realize 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 a great 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

store quality book (for ALL trade books of 51 - 300 pages in length with
B&W interiors - this offer does not include color interiors or hard cover
books), international distribution, and a thorough education in the book
publishing/book promotions world and you receive all of this for a flat fee! It

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 for a limited time we are including the first 400 books FREE
of CHARGE for those authors who are creating trade paperbacks with b&w
interiors).

Once we receive your information, 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!

financially.

$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), add your print cost to this if you
are interested in publishing a full color interior book or a hard cover book.

the cornerstone of your marketing plan for the book.

3. 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,

pre-publication reviewers and, if you need our help, we will assist you in

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.

printer to ensure that your book gets all the attention it deserves,

decisions made concerning your book.

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 or by PayPal
through our secure shopping cart.

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.

If your book has a color interior or a hard cover and will be printed by an
offset printer, you will be asked to pay 50% of your total print bill at this time
as well.

For offset printing projects, you will be sent a set of full color proofs for your
review. When you sign-off on those proofs and authorize the printer to start
printing the books, your final 50% of the print bill will come due. Print bills are
paid directly to the printer, in most cases, via wire transfer.

If you are taking advantage of the 400 free copies, you will have no print bill
unless you would like to order additional copies at this time. If that is the
case, the additional print bill will be due when we send your book to the
printer.

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.

Welcome to the Whitehallpublishing.com family. We look forward to working
with you to bring your book to life!
