BONFIRE OF THE VANITIES PACKAGE
OVERVIEW - Authors hand over their manuscript for proofreading, editing, and formatting. Our professionals push and pull and make that rough manuscript into a gorgeous book ready to upload to various print on demand and digital book outlets (depending on your needs). You also get a gorgeous book cover and a PDF to send out to your fans to get those crucial first reviews! And then - we help you create your own publishing house name and logo so you are polished pro from the get-go. Lastly - we furnish your ISBN's at a discounted rate so that your book can be sold across multiple platforms.
​
This package is for the author that doesn't have time to deal with the minute details of self-publishing, but doesn't want the hassle of dealing with getting an agent and a publisher. It's self-publishing without the DIY!
​
FAQ - I've had a vanity publishing house offer a cheaper price, why should I go with Dragon Gem?
​
Answer - Your vanity publisher (anyone that offers to publish you for a fee) out-sources the proof-reading, editing and formatting to an overseas contractor. Your time-frame is typically six to nine months until you are published. Dragon Gem offers you native-English speaking proof-reading, editing and formatting, and a two to six weeks publishing timeline, depending on your responsiveness to our questions and review deadlines. You may also be giving them rights and royalties to your project - you retain 100% of your own project rights with us!
​
OUTCOME - Your book is published in both digital and print formats, with your own publishing house label. Full-spectrum self-publishing.
