HOW IT WORKS
Publishing with Pelican Book Media is designed to save you time and eliminate the stress of self-publishing, delivering a professionally crafted book that you can be truly proud of.
Over the past twelve years, we’ve honed a proven system that consistently produces high-quality books that stand out. We pay meticulous attention to the details that can make or break a book—ensuring an eye-catching cover, selecting fonts that are both stylish and easy to read, formatting pages with precision, and perfecting the front and back matter. These are the elements that separate an ordinary book from an exceptional one.
Our Publishing service is a comprehensive, turnkey solution, allowing you to concentrate on what you do best: writing and selling your book.
Here’s our process:
Consultation Call – Free call
Book a complimentary call with us today. This is an opportunity to discuss your project, evaluate your needs, and determine if Pelican Book Media is the right publishing partner for you. This isn’t a sales pitch; it’s an informative session where you’ll gain valuable insights.
Manuscript Evaluation
Based on your manuscript’s current state, your goals as an author, and your timeline, we may recommend different levels of editing.
Editing – Optional service
Our service is tailored for clients with a pre-edited manuscript or those with limited distribution needs who may not require professional editing. However, editing services can easily be added to your package if needed. Explore our rates and options for editing services, or consider upgrading to our premium package for a more comprehensive approach.
