Keeping the tech in publishing straight

Featured Book

It's Halloween and Nora is facing her first ever beginners witch test. The dreaded Ms. White will be taking notes and watching her every move.

Nora's two friends happen to be monsters and the focus of a test section. But she and Ms. White have very different ideas of how they should be treated in the test, and as creatures altogether.

Choosing between her heart and her future was not something Nora counted on.
What will she choose? And how will it affect the lives of her and her friends?

Crooked Tail Press is a small, assisted self-publishing publisher. 

What is assisted self-publishing? 

It's helping you finish getting your book published. 

You've done all the the work: it's been edited, it's had it's beta readers, it's been revised and edited again, and again, you're ready with your manuscript and illustrations and just need to get it published! 

But... specific formatting is required and that seems overwhelming then there's uploading and approval and what about ISBNs? How do books get distributed to all those retailers? What about libraries and schools? 

Here, we focus on the more technical side of things. Creatives can be a little intimidated by it and would rather spend their time being creative! All those questions above, we have the answers.

As an author, you could spend $125 on an ISBN for your book, an additional $25 for a barcode, then double that if you are doing an eBook. That’s a total of $300! Then, the real challenge begins: formatting. 

Or, you could let the professionals at Crooked Tail Press take care of all of that for you for just $497. That’s getting your book formatted, uploaded (including ISBN and barcode), and distributed essentially for $197! Not to mention, our turnaround time is three days. 

How long might it take you on your own?
