Remember the adage about the tree falling in the forest? We at VTi-Media feel similarly about words on a page. After you have worked on your manuscript, what good does it do to have a book printed if no one will read it? We work with our authors to not only ensure that your book is professional printed and distributed, but we go further and build an entire marketing plan for your book and then work to build a lasting brand for you as an author.
Phase One – Publishing Your Manuscript
- You and your editor work together to polish and perfect your manuscript
- All of the necessary copyrights and registrations are filed on your behalf to protect your work
- The manuscript is formatted for printing using cutting-edge software
- A cover is designed and formatted for your book by a professional artist
- A proof reader combs through the book for any typos, errors or omissions
- The first proof copy is ordered for your inspection and approval

Phase Two – Building Your Brand
- Based on your book and on your ideal positioning, a marketing plan is developed and potential revenue streams are identified
