Author Services:
When you work with us at Whitehall Publishing on the Silver or Premium levels, our goal is to help you create a bookstore quality product that you will be proud of and one that will be welcome in bookstores and libraries around the country.
However, once that goal is achieved, you are going to want to get the word out about your book and make sure that as many people as possible read it and we can help you with that job. By the way, the more effective you become at getting the word out about your book, the more books you will sell and that means the more money you will make!
The skills required to write a great book are very different from the skills required to become a financially successful author. The good news is that NONE of these new skills are hard, however, they are skills that must be learned in order to really be as successful as you can be! Below are some services offered by Whitehall Publishing that are designed to help you become proficient in both! For your convenience, all services can be billed to any major credit card or via PayPal.
60-Minute Phone Consultation (click here for more information)

Whether you are facing some specific marketing or publishing challenges with your project and need answers or are just getting ready to begin your first book and need some direction, 60-minutes spent with someone who has been there, done that, can be worth its weight in gold! The advantage of doing a phone consultation is that you can ask follow-up questions and get an immediate answer. The low cost of this consultation is only $160.00 per hour, conveniently billed to any major credit card or PayPal. To purchase your phone consultation, click here.
E-mail Consultation (click here for more information)
For those writers who prefer to address your questions through the written word, E-mail consultations are the perfect solution. We will review your e-mail and address each of your questions (up to four per e-mail session), in writing, so that you can refer to the answers over and over again. The advantage of e-mail consultations is that you can think through your questions before you begin your consultation and you will have a complete, written transcript for future reference. The cost of the E-mail Consultation is only $160.00 per session, conveniently billed to any major credit card or PayPal. To purchase your E-mail consultation, click here.
Pre-publication Manuscript Review (click here for more information)
Whether you decide to work with Whitehall Publishing or not, we have many services that you can tap into ala carte. A pre-publication manuscript review can make or break your first book. Having a professional read your book from start to finish and provide you with "notes" can be invaluable to the success of the final book. We can provide you with insights from story line to character development to length, tone, direction, marketing considerations and much more.

Marketing Packages and Reports
If you are serious about promoting your book, we can offer you several reports and marketing packages that will help you get started on the right foot. The old saying that "knowledge is POWER" is absolutely true when it comes to marketing your book. The more you understand how book selling works, the more books you will sell. There are two things that need to be in place in order for a book to be a huge success:
1. A great book, and
2. A great marketing plan for that great book.
One without the other is a sure-fired recipe for failure. If you have already written your book, you have done the "hard part." Learning the skills necessary to effectively "get the word" out about your new book will be a snap in comparison to writing the book, once you know the secrets and the short cuts involved. There is NO REASON to re-invent the wheel. Let us help you learn everything you need to know to get your book off to the strong start it deserves in the marketplace!

Brokering Your Book at the Premium
and Silver Levels
We are happy to be able to provide authors with two levels of brokering. The Premium Level is designed for books that you intend to sell commercially. This would include:
Bookstores Libraries Tack shops Gift stores Pet stores Amazon.com
or in any other commercial setting. The Premium Level of brokering provides you with a bookstore ready book that can be sold commercially.
The Silver Level is ideal for family histories, organizational books that will be marketed solely through associations or those books that you intend to market directly to your customers. The Silver Level of brokering provides you with a professionally crafted book that you can give away to family and friends or sell through clubs, organizations or associations. This is an ideal path for speakers who prefer to sell their own books at their speaking engagements, directly to their customers.
In both levels, we provide our authors with 500 FREE books to start you out (for ALL books of 51 - 300 pages in length with B&W interiors and trade covers). When you calculate the value of receiving 500 FREE books when you work with us, you will find that the profits you will make from the sale of those FREE books will more than pay for your costs at the Silver or at the Premium Level and still put money in your pocket!
