How IT Works:
We offer an incredibly flexible, affordable approach to making your dream a reality compared to other publishing-assistance companies that sell packages from $2 to $5k. With Austen Agency, select only the services you think you’ll need, and then pay as you go for each service. There’s never any timeline pressure; you can progress through each of these phases as you’re ready:
Phase 1: Content Strategy: We’ll help you think through and establish your goals, reader benefit, title and subtitle, description, organization (including sections and chapters), image use, page length goals, style, and more.
Phase 2: Content Editing: At various points in the process, we’ll assess your manuscript to ensure proper grammar, spelling, and overall flow from an objective reader.
Phase 3: Cover Design: We’ll create three design options for you to choose from for the front, back, and spine of your book (eBooks use the front only).
Phase 4: Technical Production & Publishing: We’ll move your manuscript into specialized paperback, eBook, and downloadable formats. This is a very detailed phase that includes account setup, ongoing format adjustments, quality checks, ISBN assignment, full production, price and royalty determinations, setting up your payouts, and final publishing on Amazon.
Phase 5: Marketing Consultation: We’ll discuss and offer marketing recommendations tailored to your needs and budget.
