Custom Book Designs, Plus a Bestselling Author as Your

Mentor!

With our professional custom book design service included in this starting package, you will obtain a unique front/back cover and interior that is tailored to your preferences. With our personalized package, everything is unique and custom rather than using pre-made cover templates or themes as other businesses do. Additionally, we offer one-on-one assistance, worldwide book distribution, back cover copy editing, unlimited image insertions, ISBN and barcode, quarterly royalties, and unique mentoring from a best-selling author. For just $3,299, get all of this and more.

See all the self-publishing items included in this package for $1,799:
  • Custom Cover Design – It’s imperative for your paperback (6 x 9″, perfect binding) to have the most attractive custom cover possible. With the help of our design partner(s), your title will be given an eye-catching, original design. We don’t charge extra for a “personalized back cover” like other self-publishing companies, either. The custom back cover will be unique to your book just like the front cover.
  • Black & White Interior (Custom Design) – We will design a unique interior for your book using elements from the custom cover. This will give your book the most professional appearance possible.
  • Ongoing Mentoring from a Bestselling Author – Bestselling author J.J. Hebert will be your mentor throughout the publishing process and beyond.
  • Unlimited Image Insertions – Unlike other self-publishing companies, we’ll insert as many black and white images into your paperback as you’d like.
  • Back Cover Copy Polish – A professional will edit the back cover copy you provide.
  • ISBN Assignment – We’ll supply you with a unique 13-digit International Standard Book Number (ISBN) and then assign it to your book. Why is an ISBN important? Most bookstores and retailers will reject a title that lacks an ISBN.
  • Barcode – The 13-digit International Standard Book Number (ISBN) is encoded in the barcode, which is required by most bookstores. A barcode is positioned on the back of each book, enabling bookstores to quickly scan your book into their system and ultimately track inventory.
  • Copyright Notice
  • Global Distribution – Sold through major online booksellers such as Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, and Books-A-Million, and numerous international retailers as well. Wholesale distribution included through Ingram and Baker & Taylor.
  • Fast Book Printing – Books ship 2 business days after receipt and acceptance of the order.
  • Complimentary Proof Copies – We’ll send you the electronic proofs (i.e. eproofs) — usually a JPG for the cover design and a PDF for the interior pages. Once you approve those eproofs, we’ll mail you a paperback proof copy for final approval.
  • Online bookstore page for your book
  • Advertising via the MindStir Media Twitter & Facebook accounts
  • One-on-one Author Support – Questions, concerns, and comments—these will be handled by a representative assigned to you.
