We’re excited to share the release of a game-changing resource for authors who need a little help navigating the self-publishing process AND guidance for using that book to grow their business and create a solid foundation for future sales success.

“How to Self-Publish: The complete guide for authors, entrepreneurs and industry influencers” builds on our 2015 release of “Self-Publish Today” and was written to help authors, entrepreneurs and industry influencers make sense of all the steps that might seem confusing when publishing a book. By following this guidance in this book, you can check off all the details in a matter of days — and at a fraction of the price if you tried to figure everything out on your own.

But we don’t stop there. Publishing a book can lead to so much more including new revenue streams, new clients or customers, databases of new fans that can accelerate business growth, and new opportunities for sharing your knowledge and experience.

We are committed to supporting our customers throughout their experience with us and this book provides the knowledge you need to leverage the amazing potential of publishing a book for growing your business, spreading your message, and achieving your biggest goals.

To order, Authors can log into their Author account, scroll to the bottom of the dashboard and click on "Order Samples." For those who don't have an Author account, you can order the printed book in our Bookstore by clicking HERE, or download a copy here.

Either way, here are a few highlights:

• How to get access to your customer contact information so you can build a list, boost sales, and nurture an audience hungry for more. (spoiler: Vervante helps you do this – other publishers don’t!)
• How to prepare your manuscript for publishing
• Design and formatting best practices
• The wide variety of books you can create: Children’s books, coloring books, journals, planners, collaborative books, etc.
• Tips for creating eye-catching book covers
• How to copyright and legally protect your book
• Sales, distribution and marketing tips
• Listing your book on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Baker & Taylor
• How to get the biggest returns / royalties
• And so much more!

Just imagine the feeling of finally holding your book in your hands. Then watching online sales roll in, appearing at book signings, speaking from the stage about your experiences as an author, and seeing new growth in your business and passion.

Did you know that today, August 2nd, is National Coloring Book Day? We love coloring books and wanted to share a few ideas and some creative free coloring pages with you today in celebration of this holiday.

ADULT COLORING BOOKS are very popular right now, and a great way to create connections with potential clients, add value to products or programs you offer, or create new revenue streams to boost business income. Check out this article for tips on creating adult coloring books and ideas for incorporating the into all types of businesses.

CHILDREN’S COLORING BOOKS are popular too, and we can something special we offer for children’s books authors with illustrated books. We can transform full-color books into coloring books by removing the color from illustrations and simplifying text if needed to create a companion coloring book (as seen in the illustration). It’s a quick, easy process that instantly doubles the products you can offer your audience. Plus, we can also ship coloring books with crayons or colored pencils to make them even more special. For more information about publishing children’s books and creating coloring books, check out this article.

COLORING PAGE INSERTS: Products like planners, journals, books, and coaching or training materials can also benefit from the creative energy of coloring by adding individual coloring pages to the content. Check out the sneak preview of our new 2019 Planners to see what we're talking about.
