We have that covered as well.
GHOSTWRITING
You tell us your story, we write it. And that includes research on the subject matter. Many people hire ghostwriters ─ from celebrities to everyday people. Hiring a ghostwriter is the ideal choice for people who do not have the time to invest in writing a book. It's also for people who don't have the organizational skills, ability or interest in creating a marketable book on their own. Many of our clients are busy people who want to spend their time on what they do: Running their businesses, speaking, working with clients. They don't want to spend time writing. We can write your book based on an article you've written, some notes you've jotted down, or a manuscript you've created.
Ghostwriting allows you to get your book written, even as you focus on other important projects. Hiring a ghostwriter is an intelligent business decision for the business owner, executive, thought leader, politician, speaker, or professional who has many demands on time. An experienced ghostwriter doesn’t just write the book, though. Your RootSky Books ghostwriter will provide advice and insight to you about your particular book project. You may be an expert in your area of expertise, but we know putting together a book may be a new or rare experience for you. In that case, we will become your partner in discussing and planning your book to help you position it for success. Because of our extensive experience, we can help you consider and avoid certain issues related to the publication of your project. We can also help you consider your book project based on marketability. We don’t just type out words to get you any book. We expertly craft a project to get you a marketable, quality product that enhances your brand and builds your credibility.
EDITING
We are a team of former journalists, with deep backgrounds in editing. We edit for
marketability, based on the book’s genre. Our editing includes grammar, punctuation,
style, and content. Whether you simply need a second set of eyes or you need comprehensive
editing, we have the experience to do the job. Publishing a book to be read by the
general public or your business audience is different from publishing a book for
academic purposes, so you need an editor who understands that. It does you little
good to have a book that is grammatically correct, but still boring, difficult to
understand, or inappropriate for its audience. That’s where an experienced editor
can help. It’s not just about making sure you’ve avoided all “its-
BOOK COVER DESIGN
We design covers based on research, experience, and information from you. As a result
of this three-
Book cover design isn’t just about choosing the right art or picture on the front. That’s only one part. It’s about choosing the right art, fonts, and every detail, down to even the spacing. It is also about writing compelling back cover content that will draw in the reader. It’s also about designing so your book meets industry standards and prints well. Mess up on even one of those areas, and you could lose serious money and time. For example, if you have the wrong trim size for your book, then you could end up with a size that is not standard and that will cost you more to print and ship. An experienced designer can design your book based on the best (and most economical) size for your needs.
In addition to the press-
INTERIOR PAGES DESIGN
We devote a lot of time and attention to interior page layout and design. While many
people overlook the importance of a well-
Interior page layout and design is key to the overall look and feel of your book. It’s not just a matter of typesetting your pages. Choosing the right fonts, spacing, images, and other elements, takes years of experience. A book designed for an audience over 40 may need to use a different font or font size than one for younger readers. A book designed for people who work in the banking industry may have different considerations than one whose target audience is parents of young children. A cookbook will need different design treatment than a novel. An experienced designer will take into consideration the specific needs of your project.
TECHNICAL DETAILS
We secure the technical details to make sure your book is bookstore-
Many authors who publish their own books neglect to handle these technical details,
because they don’t know or because they think they are unimportant. We won’t let
that happen to you. We realize you may not know everything that needs to go into
produce a bookstore-
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
This is our one-
We save clients hundreds — and often, thousands — of dollars when we handle their printing through our project management. That is because we use the power of competition for our clients’ benefit. We send project bids out to our proprietary national network of printers. Our experience lets us know what to look for in printing, so we can compare quotes and get the best rate. We can also negotiate rates when necessary, as well as use the relationships we’ve developed with printers to help our clients have good printing experiences.
Our project management gives you the peace of mind to know that every single detail of your book production process is being handled by knowledgeable experts. If you want to file for your own technical details, find your own printer, send the files to the printer, and answer printer questions about the files, then you certainly are welcome to do so. This service is only for clients who prefer to save time by allowing a project manager to handle those details.
EBOOK DESIGN
We can even publish your book project in ebook format, so readers can purchase and
download copies to Amazon’s Kindle, Barnes & Noble’s Nook, iPhone, Blackberry, a
tablet, or computer. We format the interior and create high-
WEBSITE DESIGN
If you are an author, you need an online home. This may be different from your company’s
website, because you need a place to share information about your book, engage readers,
and promote your work. We can create a custom-
