What is a Custom Book?
Not all books are created with an eye toward placement on bookstore shelves. Ink & Paper Group helps individuals and companies create books aimed at select individuals, executives, or employees, and promotions or marketing campaigns.

So, what motivates the need for a Custom Book?
Do you have a book idea you have nurtured over the years? A legacy you want to leave for future generations? Or, the need to position yourself as an expert in your field? Is your organization or company reaching a milestone event, such as an anniversary? These are some of the best reasons for producing a Custom Book.

Custom Book Power
A book lends credence to your message like few other mediums do. Add clout to your consulting business, position yourself for the next level of your career, or be the first to crystallize a new line of thinking in a book.

What can Ink & Paper Group offer?
“Producing” is the right concept to keep in mind. Your book is so much more than the idea or manuscript that started the project. Along the path to printing and distribution, there are many small but crucial decisions. For example:

  • A weak title can cripple a book.
  • Book design affects how a reader experiences a book and whether a bookseller will choose to display it.
  • Serious content issues, such as characters disappearing from the storyline, can be resolved during the developmental editing stage.
  • Insufficient fact checking: content errors can invalidate your message.

With 1001 decisions to make—each affecting the success of your book—it’s good to have the support of publishing professionals who handle these matters every day and can aid you every step of the way.

Why shouldn’t I edit my own manuscript?
Your Terrific Idea. Your story. Or the manuscript you have toiled for years to finish. How can you be impartial with your pride and joy? And the answer is, you can’t. You need an editor who will work with you to maximize the inspiring parts of your writing and improve problem areas for greater effectiveness.

Consider this fact: professional, published writers use professional editors.

How about my book cover?
Three seconds. Your book will have just three seconds to attract a potential book buyer with its cover. Like an effective advertiser becomes a pro at reaching his target audience, a good book publisher masters the principles of cover design to make the best impression on the prospective reader.

Can you help me market my book?
Yes, we can. Book marketing is another service we offer. We can help you in both the traditional avenues for marketing your book as well as the latest techniques used in the publishing industry.
