Silverbear Graphics offers you a comprehensive, one-stop solution to your publishing dilemma. We can take you from your rough draft on paper to finished, professional quality books in your hands within a few months; and for a lot less money than many collaborative publishers now advertise.

We know there are a lot of online vanity publishers available through the internet today...but that's not the ticket for getting your book SOLD. First of all, you have to be a technical expert to upload your book to their system for printing, as well as a premier graphic designer to do all your own layout and spec preparations. Then you have to know about ISBN codes and Library of Congress registration procedures to get the book properly identified for the national and international book markets. Tack onto that the need to then know all about book marketing in order to list, advertise and sell your book through various outlets such as Amazon.com, and your book becomes a full time job. That's why you need Silverbear Graphics - we handle all that for you at a reasonable rate.

Custom Cover Design $200
This is the design of the front cover. Our skilled designers will work with you to create just the right look for your book cover (one original design based on your concept that you share with the artist, with up to 2 revisions.) From choosing fonts, to color, to artwork--rely on 25+ years of experience in branding, logo design and media communication to help your readers get the right first impression.

Back Cover and Promotional Thumbnails $100
This is the back cover layout. A thumbnail description of you and the book is vital to the success of your work, whether someone is reading it on the back cover at a book store, or as on online description. This is the handshake from the author to the reader-we can make it an introduction worthy of your effort.

By the way, looking for inspiration to get moving on your book? Use a tip shared recently by Dr. Wayne Dyer on his PBS Special, "Excuses Be Gone" - have your COVER DESIGNED FIRST, get it printed out at a local color copy shop, cut it to fit a book already on your bookshelf, and wrap that book in your new cover art! Then put the "book" on your desk as inspiration for writing your Next Great Novel!

ISBN and Library of Congress Registration $100
This means we will create an EAN-13 Bar Code so your book can be sold on Amazon and in retail bookstores by registering your book with the industry-recognized international book registration agency (with Silverbear as your Publisher of Record*), and also register and install a copy of your book in the United States Library of Congress. *If we are your Publisher of Record, determined by the purchase of the ISBN code, we have a Publishing Contract we will forward to you for your signature.

Setting up Amazon and Other Online Outlets for Your Book $100
Your file must be prepped in a particular way to be "camera-ready" for the various online outlets. We manage sales for many of our authors and are glad to add you to our publishing family.

Setting up IPad and Kindle formats for Your Book $300
Your file must be prepped in a particular way to be IPad and Kindle friendly.

Basic Editing $350
This steps us up from "making your book look pretty" to "assisting with grammatical, style and spelling accuracy." This entails one of our editors doing a read-through for spelling and grammar. If you do not purchase this part of the package, we simply lay out the file exactly as you give it to us--we will not change the content at all. It is a well known dynamic that no one should edit their own work. You can have technical editing done by a our editors, checking spelling, grammar and punctuation. Dot your i's and cross your t's!

Advanced Editing $1000
At this level of involvement we actually make plot and storyline suggestions, look for inaccuracies throughout the manuscript (such as calling your main character "Stan" in the first five chapters and "Sam" thereafter.) Within approximately 30 days from submission, you'll get your recommendations and notes, with copywriter edits and suggestions for changes. (This level also incorporates Basic Editing as part of the package.)

Promotion Package $300
Printed marketing materials. Getting the word out about your book is the key to getting it sold. We have a marketing package which includes your own branded, full color business cards; postcards; bookmarks and press release. Buying this package saves you over the cost of buying them separately.

Website for Your Book $200 and up
A web site is a must for marketing anything these days, especially the written word. We'll develop a web presence for you, depending on what you want--from a simple billboard site to your own online storefront.

Silverbear Bookstore and Detailed Monthly Sales Reports $25/month
We will host your book on our Silverbear online bookstore (both in our regular bookstore and your own author's page, which will have a distinct URL to which you can direct your customers), and email you detailed monthly report of sales from all online sources we manage for you.
