DESTIN-E BOOKS AUTHOR GUIDELINES

Thank-you for allowing me to publish your book. As an author I know how precious writing something can be and will treat it as such. I also know how difficult it can be to get anything published these days; high fees, small royalties, etc. That is why I started DESTIN-E BOOKS; to make publishing easy and to get you as high a return as possible from your book sales. Read the following carefully and  let me know if you have any questions.

WHAT I AM OFFERING:

  • I will take your editable manuscript (see requirements below) and produce a high quality PDF format e-book version of it for sale. It will be encrypted so no one can copy it. I can produce a simple but adequate book cover (Basically a background picture with title and author).
  • I will furnish you with a one page webpage with a book description and ordering capability built in. This will also include a URL you can use for advertising for yourself in your social media, etc. I will also furnish a pin type ad on Pinterest.
  • When someone buys your book it will be automatically and instantly delivered to them.
  • I mark up your book price at my discretion for my services (usually $1-$3). That way you get the full retail price you are asking.
  • I will pay you monthly via PayPal. If Paypal deducts any amount for their services I am not responsible for that.
  • I will publicize your book at least once a week on Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter. All other publicity and advertising is up to you. It is really up to you to advertise your book for yourself.
  • You retain all rights to your book and you may remove it anytime by just letting me know.
  • If you need additional services like editing, book cover design or for me to be more involved in your layout I can accommodate you for an additional fee. Editing: $1 per page. Book Cover Design: Depends on what you want done. Social Media Push Once A Day: $1 per day. Other Services: Ask about what you have in mind.

WHAT I NEED FROM YOU:

  • I need an editable manuscript produced preferably in Microsoft WORD but as long as I can open in WORD it does not matter what software you use. You must e-mail this to me or if it is too large a document to e-mail (which is usually the case) it must be uploaded to Google Drive and you must provide me a link so I can download it.
  • The manuscript must already be laid out like you want with pictures inserted, page numbers, table of contents, etc. Generally a good layout should include in this order: Title page, Dedication (optional), Foreword (optional),Table of contents (May be optional depending on if your book is divided into chapters), main content (this is your main content and writing. There should be a page break for each chapter.), short author bio (optional but recommended. You may also include contact information, your website, etc.), list of other books by author (optional).
  • I do not do editing. Your manuscript should be proofread, corrected and ready for me when I get it. I will do a quick reading and if it has a lot of typos I may recommend you get it proofread and corrected and return to me when it is done.
  • I can do a simple book cover with background picture (that you furnish) and title and author. If you want more than that you need to furnish me with a book cover that you have done or an artist has done. I can recommend a good artist if you need one.
  • You will need a PayPal account so I can pay you. If you don’t have one go to PayPal.com and set you up a free account and furnish me with e-mail address you will use for payment. It is secure for you. I cannot access any bank information you file with them. It is simple to use. I will not use any other means of payment.
