Through its in-house publishing division, AWP Books, AWP offers complete end-to-end publication services, as well as a’la’carte design and production services as outlined above and below.
The process begins with you and your story, or novel, or nonfiction book. Once you’re satisfied with what you’ve written, our professional proofreaders will go over the manuscript and ensure that the text-as-written is presentable and professional, with proper spelling and comprehensible grammar. If you opt for line-edits as well as proofreading, we will also offer suggestions to sharpen your rhetoric and delivery without altering or rewriting your authorial voice.
With now-clean copy in hand, we proceed to layout and design. Our crack design team will transform your manuscript in into a well-appointed, professionally-designed ebook and/or paperback, complete with illuminations, graphics, graphs, images, etc. as is appropriate for your book.
At the same time, we will take your artwork (or create original artwork for you) and create a design appropriate for your genre and sized for any or all of the major formats: ebook, paperback, hardback, and audiobook. We can even design your publishing company logo if you don’t have one.
Now that your book is ready for market, we are at your disposal for assistance and training in setting up accounts with the major marketplaces and distributors where you can sell your book, and, of course, we will be available to set up your author or publisher website as needed.
