Supporting Authors in the Publishing Process
Authors go about publishing their work in many different ways according to their genre, intended audience, experience level, and point in their career arc. The two overarching routes to take are seeking a traditional publisher or self publishing. Although traditional publishers take on many of the responsibilities of production, there are materials an author will need to prepare when approaching agents and publishers. Authors going the self-publishing route often require more support given the expertise and technical requirements involved in production and marketing. Lafayette & Greene offers a variety of solutions for authors taking either route:
- Typesetting services
- Materials editing
- ISBN acquisition, registration, and metadata
- Epub creation
- Image editing
- Cover design
- Marketing consultation
- Author platform
