Publishing Services

COMPLETE PUBLISHING SERVICES

TRADE PUBLISHING
Following submission review and acceptance, our team will help you through the process of bringing your manuscript to life! From editing and design, to printing and binding, we will work with you to share your beautiful book with the general population through online, local, and national retailers. To get started, visit our Submissions page to view our guidelines.

PRIVATE PUBLISHING
Want to create a book, but not quite ready to share your story with the world? Ask us about our private publishing option. We will help edit, design and print/bind your work with the same quality as a trade book that you can self-distribute.

INDIVIDUAL SERVICES

MANUSCRIPT CONSULTATIONS
Our professional publishers and editors will review your work and provide constructive feedback that can help you improve your story for a chance at publishing.

EDITING
Polish your work so it looks its best before publication with our editorial team.

DESIGN
While we understand the importance of not judging a book by its cover, we do recognize the importance of bringing a beautiful cover design vision to life. Whether you have a great cover design concept in mind but not sure how to put it on paper, or are in need of ideas, we can help! We provide cover design and book layout services to prepare your book for printing.

ILLUSTRATIONS
Writing a children’s book but need that creative, visual touch? We can partner you with illustrators to bring your words to life.

PHOTOGRAPHY
So maybe you already have some photographs for your work, but maybe they don’t look quite the way you imagined them… let us edit them for you through Night Heron Media’s photography services to visually set your book apart. 

PRINTING & BINDING
If your book is ready to go, let us guide you through the printing and binding process. We offer printing options starting as low as 250 copies up to 4000  or more.

COPYRIGHT SUBMISSIONS
Eliminate the fear of someone using your work as their own with our copyright submission services! We'll walk you through the process of registering your work with the US Copyright Office so you don't get lost in the paperwork.

MARKETING
Having the right marketing for your work can make all the difference in how the book will do on the shelves.

  • Social Media - With our social media marketing services, we can create author/book social media pages, posts, and begin to generate an online following for you.
  • Author + Book Website Design - To generate an audience and a following, authors usually need to create a website about their work as well as event and contact information. Our team will take the burden out of designing a professional site and help you create a beautiful platform to share your story.
  • Book Trailers - Let Night Heron Media help you market your work with a one-of-a-kind book trailer through our video production team.

BOOK AWARD SUBMISSIONS
Want your book to be recognized? We'll research awards available from local and national entities and submit your work on your behalf if we find a good match.

    Contact us about your publishing needs. We are ready to help.
