The Professional program is designed for speakers, lecturers, or trainers who have developed a course book or other material that they intend to sell primarily at their speaking engagements or use in their classes.
The books receive the same custom design work as all of our other titles, but the marketing effort assumes that you already promote your business on your own website, where the book will be featured. Although the book can be made available through general retail channels, that is not your primary market, and the services are adjusted to reflect this positioning.
This program assumes you have already used much of your material in other formats, so it includes only limited copyediting services. It also includes up to 40 images. This program also assumes you have a proven market in which to sell your books, so it includes 100 books in the initial order.
The Professional program is customizable to meet your needs.
