Building Your Book:
|
Dave Scheiber: "Transforming a lifetime of experiences into a book requires both finding a trusted writing partner and following a reliable process. On this page, I've summarized the steps that my co-authors and I have found invaluable as we've collaborated to create memorable books."

STEP 1: Finding Your Voice This is your story, and it has to be true to your distinctive voice. As an author with an extensive background in interviewing, I've learned a lot about listening – as well as writing in the voice of the storyteller with whom I’ve partnered. STEP 2: Telling Your Story In order to catch and hold readers' interest, writers need to distill details in ways that are not only well-organized and cohesive, but also lively and authentic. As an award-winning journalist, I've gotten to know fascinating people from all walks and levels of life, and I've developed a knack for helping them to shine a light on their passions, challenges, concerns, and ideals. STEP 3: A Book to Treasure Your book will be brought to life in your own unique voice—with care, heart, and the utmost attention to detail. From writing and editing through design and publication, there will be no compromise on quality. Your book's finished appearance will be both professional and eye-catching – equivalent to, or better than, any book that’s sold in either a brick and mortar bookstore or online. STEP 4: On-Time Delivery Your book will be delivered on a schedule that can’t be beat: on average, your inspiration will become a reality within a year. STEP 5: Marketing & Promotion Our top-flight marketers help you sell your book in multiple outlets – from Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com (and and in e-book formats if desired), to your own personal sales venues such as book signings, special promotions, and media events. STEP 6: Costs You Can Count On I’ll be happy to provide an accurate, fully detailed estimate for all phases of your book’s production upon request. |
