Many authors dream of publishing a book but there is journey to be passed and this is certainly complicated, time consuming, and usually intimidating. Once I got the idea to self publish my work, I wanted to have a partner that would undergo the peculiarities of the self-publishing industry with me, particularly in a competitive and constantly-changing market such as Manchester. It was then that I came up with Maple Publishers, a self publishing company in Manchester that transformed my publishing experience altogether and took me to my readers in a lesser time than I could have ever imagined.
The main advantage of Maple Publishers is their insight into the urgency and the sense of urgency that self publishing brings with it right at the beginning. They understand the authors are not concerned with their books being printed, they want to have their work in the hands of the readers within the shortest time but in the most efficient processes. What is timing, in the publishing world? A book coming out too late may suffer a loss of relevance or energy and in a genre where teen fashions and interests can change almost overnight. Maple Publishers have understood this fact and can be said to be an exception since it was flexible and deadlines friendly and even worked tirelessly to deliver tight schedules when called upon. This dedication had the implication that I could never say I was rushed but I also never experienced a delayed. Speed-quality ratio was faultlessly managed.
The personalized nature was one of the reasons as to why I selected Maple publishers. They would not make me feel like a routine author to them. They also customized their services to the demands of my book genre and my vision of it instead. They were simply flexible in their services whether I required detailed drawings, a certain design of the book cover or layout or some special typesetting, they could offer me I needed. This personalization even reached to a procedure like marketing where it made sure that the promotional procedure captured the book in the best way possible to make any best possible sales and effect on the readers. The experience had such impact on me that I felt my book was really unique and needed special treatment.
Another factor that made me feel much confident was transparency. This is unlike in many companies where beautiful surprises jump in unexpectedly. Maple Publishers however exposed everything on the table at the beginning. It had no hidden fees and obscure estimates; all the expenses were open and transparent. This integrity has enabled me to make financial plans and concentrate completely on the creative side of writing without doubting of budgetary issues. In the eyes of any author, such clarity of communication is golden and develops a source of trust that will be growing long after the publication is made.
Having worked in the publishing sector more than 20 years, Maple Publishers will offer its sufficient knowledge and experience to the table. Their mastery is visible at all stages of the publishing process, the preliminary draft up to the ultimate marketing drive. This experience implies that they understand all the details of self publishing in Manchester and beyond well. They assisted me to smoothly sail through, and, at the same time, overcome some of the major pitfalls that most writers fall into when publishing their first book, and made sure that my book was of a professional caliber that both readers and distributors of books demand.
I was also impressed by their wide variety of services. Maple Publishers are not a printing house rather they provide complete publishing solutions. This involves a thorough editing and proofreading of the manuscript, layout and type design that made the book to look presentable and easy to read, and an attractive book cover design that was noticeable at a first sight. My book shone among the crowd because of the quality of the services. They even helped with converting ebooks thus making my work be availed in digital forms so as to reach as many people as possible.
However, what really made my experience special was the marketing assistance which was provided by Maple Publishers. The publishing industry of today does not allow the book to be published in a difficult. Even the finest book in the world shall fail to get readers when without promotional efforts. The staff of Maple Publishers realized this very well and did more than enough to make me get noticed. Their animated videos and book trailers were made to make my story visual and ignite the imagination of the potential readers online. They also assisted me in creating an author site and a book site too, and these were the centres of updates, communication and sales. These online tools allowed me to communicate with readers and form a solid base of fans.
Another potential problem faced by most self published writers is distribution but Maple Publishers delivered that too with ease. They used connections in the industry to place my book in the shelves of the biggest libraries and bookstores in Manchester, a not to mention the UK. Such access may hardly be achieved when authors market their own work and this made the difference in promoting the awareness and legitimacy of my book. Having come to the knowledge that my work was matters in places I could trust majority of the time, made me feel that I had made the right choices.
Other attributes that were outstanding working with Maple publishers included convenience and the cost-effectiveness of getting all the publishing requirements addressed within a single roof. Organizing editing, design, format, marketing and sales with various vendors would be efficient yet costly. Maple Publishers made the whole process easy, giving me the complete package as service. This saved me money as well as the stress of maintaining several contacts and deadlines. I was able to focus on my writing where I had the assurance that the publishing process was in good hands.
The team was responsive and interactive through the process of the journey. They have heard what I had to say, get to know my intentions and modified their performance to fit. The mode of partnership used in this way made me feel appreciated as a writer, and I was confident that the end product would be very much what I envisioned. The love they had about seeing authors succeed was seen in all communications and all the services they provided.
My book was responded to my readers more efficiently and quicker than I would have imaged with the help of Maple Publishers. It felt great to be a self published author, and it was really exciting, thanks to professionalism, customized service, and open pricing, they also supported the entire marketing of the book. I was no longer a struggling writer struggling to get published; I had already been published and had a big presence in the market and a following audience as well.
