BOOK EVALUATIONS

The Book Connection has a database of editors across all genres, and we will match the correct expertise with your subject matter for a comprehensive evaluation of the content of your manuscript.

Of course, reading and evaluation fees depend on the length of your manuscript. Because of this, we like to take a chapter sampling of your work to pass along to the reader / editor so you can get a solid estimate of time and money involved for evaluating your manuscript.

PUBLISHER IDENTITY

You will open more doors while presenting your book to booksellers, bookstores, and other potential audiences if you have a publisher identity. This simply means that you “package” yourself and your product into a recognizable entity. The Book Connection can guide you through all of the publishing industry standards for any market direction that your project needs.

The Book Connection can create your graphic identity with the help of a professional graphic designer. The standard package starts with a logo design. As a publisher, you will need the following standard identity package pieces:

• Logo / Imprint Design
• Business Cards
• Stationery
• Brochure
• Catalogue

In addition to the above pieces of the publisher’s identity package, there is also the administrative task of identifying your book title through coding and the standard identification systems. The Book Connection can obtain the required ISBN#, CIP, LOC, UPC#, proper barcode form, and Books in Print paperwork to legitimize your book. Info about your title will need to be accessible to anyone trying to locate your book.
