what we do
our program includes all of the following
.01
—Wikipedia Pages
We will build and launch a page on Wikipedia for qualified individuals. No other publishing service we are aware of offers this service. This powerful element in our process provides an unparalleled, recognized platform where one's reputation can be verified and firmly established. Just having such a page lends credibility far and away greater than nearly anything else available. (Candidates for this service must meet our, and Wikipedia's, strict qualification requirements.)
.02
—Publishing
Once the content of your book is ready (written and edited), we proceed with all of the various publishing steps, including cover & interior design, copyright filing, obtaining ISBN & bar codes, Library of Congress filing, etc. Then, in order to enable your book to reach the broadest market possible, our service includes all available publishing platforms, in both print and digital formats. We will create four separate versions of your book including a Hardcover Edition, a Paperback Edition, an Ebook Edition, and an Audio Book Edition.
.03
—Ghostwriting
Maybe you haven't quite finished writing your book, or maybe you'd just like to have a professional writer re-work it for you. We can provide an experienced writer/author who will do the "heavy lifting" of actually writing, or re-writing your book. In this step, you will work one-on-one with a member of our creative team in a collaborative effort to write a book that will serve as one of your most valuable branding tools.
.04
—Editing
To ensure that your book is the best it can be, you will also work with an experienced professional editor who is tasked with "polishing" your manuscript to be error-free and as strong as possible. Our editors are seasoned professionals with years of experience in both editing and writing and have won numerous awards for their own writing. See our "The ALIVE Team" page to learn more about our world-class editors and ghostwriters.
.05
—Recording
Once your manuscript has been written and edited, we will record you reading your own book, or we can provide experienced professional voice talent to read your book. We will then create a professionally produced recording that will eventually be released as an Audio Edition of your book. If you happen to be located in California, anywhere near the greater San Francisco Bay Area, you will be able to conduct your recordings in our own in-office podcast recording studio.
.06
—Marketing
Prior to the full, worldwide release of your book, we will conduct a comprehensive marketing and publicity campaign for you and your book. This includes the assignment of a dedicated marketing and publicity professional who will work with you, every step of the way. We'll create, launch, and manage a robust promotion, (and advertising when deemed appropriate) campaign, utilizing print, online and social media, talk radio, podcasts, and television (local, cable, and broadcast). Professional video production may be employed to create author interviews and promotional videos that can be used for a variety of purposes, both online and on TV. Additionally, in most cases, we will design, build, launch, and manage a professional website that will serve to complement all of these marketing efforts. This marketing effort will encompass various local, regional, and national markets, as deemed appropriate by our team.
.07
—Distribution
We will then distribute your book worldwide, making it available through a network of over 40,000 wholesale and retail outlets in over 100 countries. ALIVE Book Publishing distributes and fulfills book orders through Ingram Books, the largest multi-channel book distributor in the world. Every book we publish is featured in the Ingram Catalog reaching every bookstore and library in the United States. This places your book directly alongside other bestselling authors' books for sale. Print editions of your book will reach booksellers like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Target, and Walmart, as well as independent bookstores and online resellers. Ebook editions of your book will also be available on Ebook sellers like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple, Google Play Books, Microsoft Books, Scribd, Kobo, and many others. Likewise, the Audio Book Edition of your book will be available on dozens of platforms like Audible, Apple, Google Play, and many more. Our books are all priced for the international market and sold worldwide, including in the USA, European Union, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Spain, Germany, Italy, Poland, Russia, India, China, South Korea, Japan, and Brazil.
