The first step is to submit your manuscript
A key component toward your book’s success is a thorough proofreading and editing process. This ensures that your readers remain engaged by not diverting their attention with grammatical errors and plot inconsistencies. Our professional editors will make sure your writing is up to the standards you and your audience deserve.
Media Gaffer will format and transform your manuscript into a high quality finished book, complete with a custom cover design and page layout. Our designers will work with you to create a one of a kind book cover for your approval. Once your printed book is complete, we will also convert your publication into an eBook format that will be available on all major platforms.
Our marketing and publicity campaigns are designed around each book we publish. Many companies offer blanket campaigns that simply do not work. Media Gaffer embarks upon a press release campaign that ensures we reach your target market. We know the right steps to take in order to highlight your book in front of its intended audience. We will also create a custom web page for each author within the Media Gaffer website. This individual page contains the book cover art, a synopsis of the book, and direct links to the purchase page of every digital platform which is offering the book for sale. Finally, our production of a 30 second high-definition video book trailer is the greatest way to showcase your book in front of a wide audience.
