Wrong again, Skippy. We’ll do as much – or as little – as you want us to do. We’ll even just come in for an hour of coaching and consultation, if that’s all you need.
There are many ways to reach individual target audiences, including direct mail, social media, email, and (for a limited number of highly desirable audience members) phone. We have a team of researchers dedicated to helping identify the categories, groups, contacts, and how to reach decision-makers, and you will always approve our recommendations before anything is implemented.
We work in every genre and have editors, strategists and marketing professionals on our team across the political and philosophical spectrum. Which means unless you’re advocating something illegal, odds are pretty good we’ll be able to provide you with the support that you need. And if we’re not comfortable with the material, we’ll try to find you someone more appropriate.
When we’re working with you, it’ll feel as if our office is on the next block. We’ll use a variety of communications tools for cross-marketing your current and past titles, and we’ll set up a Google Doc folder for moving larger files. Most importantly, you’ll be involved in every decision at every step.
Either. We’re as comfortable sitting in your office or living room as we are talking with you via ZOOM, phone, email, or snail mail, as you prefer. And if we’re in the same neighborhood, let’s catch up for a cup of coffee.
As a first step, we typically like to get a firm handle on objectives, timelines, milestones, budgets, unique selling propositions, and similar strategic issues.
Fair question. Our management team has authored, co-authored, edited or ghostwritten more books than we can count, so we’ve got you covered. Throw in decades of marketing experience and you’re putting a really solid asset in your corner when you work with Write Away Books.
Want more? We’ve developed and implemented comprehensive marketing solutions across a wide range of industries. This means we’re prepared to take an author or publication from start to finish. We work in every genre, and have dedicated ourselves to providing best-in-industry editorial, marketing and consultative services. And you’ll find our customer service is TOP NOTCH, and you can even talk to the boss if you want to.
Furthermore, we have a deep bench of talent, both seasoned and edgy. Our team represents all segments of story development, presentation, production, and branding…and it’s ALL going to be at your disposal. Plus, because we’ve got decades of these kinds of successes under our belts, we’re able to consistently provide strategies, tactics, and solutions for authors needing help developing their ideas, editing their stories, and getting the word out.
Since we haven’t talked with you about your specific needs, it’s impossible to give you an accurate estimate of costs and timelines. You may need more than you think, or you may really need less. Since everything we do is customized for your specific needs, we’ll give you a proposal defining what we think it’ll take to get you across the finish line.
You’d be surprised. We have individual services you might want, while other stuff is available on an hourly basis. And if you know up-front what you’re looking for us to do, we can put together a package for you that will be very economical. The best way to find out what we’re thinking makes sense? Talk to us.
Absolutely! Everything will be in a written contract that you’ve agreed to prior to implementation or before any money changes hands. Because we hate surprises in business, and assume you do too. So yeah – we’ll talk it through, figure out what you need, commit to it, and stick to it. Period!
We suggest you send us some basic information and the first 10 pages of your book. Then give us a few days to review is and send back our thoughts. Next stop: SUCCESS!
