Author consultations:

Brandywine River Publishing will review your writing project and advise on publishing options. Topics to be covered include finding an agent, finding a publisher and the pros and cons of self-publishing, vanity publishing and internet publishing. Manuscripts will not be reviewed as part of this service.

A one-hour initial consultation fee $150.
Additional sessions, if needed, are billed at $150 per hour.

Customized and personalized marketing:

Each book is different and needs a customized marketing plan. Sending out hundreds of press releases to disinterested media outlets isn’t a marketing plan. Writers need to connect with their targeted audience.

1. Two one-hour consultations with a value of $300.
   1. First consultation will identify a targeted list of contacts to receive promotional material.
   2. Second consultation will be on development of a talk or presentation to groups and keys to a successful book signing.
2. Developing a list of targeted recipient release of marketing material.
3. Drafting of a press release to announce the release of the author’s book and distribution of the release to the targeted recipients.
4. A guide to working with book distributors.

The Premier Marketing Package costs $750.00.

Additional marketing services as required:

Self-publishing:

Brandywine River Publishing works with a printing company experienced in designing, producing and printing books for authors. The cost of the book production depends on the number of copies, paper used, images to be scanned, binding and design time. Estimates are free. Proofreading services are offered and cost is determined by number of pages and time needed to do the proofreading.
