Publishing Resources
Why choose WPG as a Publisher? Simple—we have the best authors, the most gifted production staff, and we personally market each book to see the highest potential of sales and royalties. Other Publishers might make you a number whereas WPG will make you an Author! WPG is the publisher that others are striving to emulate because we are the most author-friendly publishing house in America. We concentrate on a small percentage of authors in order to devote our resources to creating success! We focus our attention individually to each aspect of the publishing process. WPG understands that having a book published is only half of the job. The other half is a strategic marketing and publicity plan that provides the best opportunity to drive sales! When you become part of the exclusive WPG family, here are a few things you can expect:
- Beautiful custom cover designs created specifically for your book.
- Professional editing and text layout in Adobe inDesign, registered ISBN, and author copyright also provided.
- Book is set up for nationwide distribution with the largest distributor in the world, Ingram/Spring Arbor.
- Author is assigned a personal marketing representative, as well as a full-time publicist, who follows a marketing plan for every book which includes sending press releases, book signing requests to bookstores, and monitoring availability of the book at all times, as well as assisting with speaking engagements and public appearances. The marketing representative is the author’s personal contact for any marketing requests and needs on-going. (Our marketing staff remains at your service for the life of the book, and a book is forever!).
- Book can be produced in paper format, audio book format and eBook format. eBooks are quickly gaining popularity as technology now allows you to read books on your smart phone, tablet, computer or a stand-alone eBook reader.
