  • Book Design

    Custom cover design, print interior formatting, and eBook / EPUB creation.

  • Publishing & Production

    ISBN and barcode administration, metadata, proofs, final QA, and Amazon KDP, IngramSpark and Bookvault setup.

  • Marketing & Promotion

    Author branding, websites, press kits, launch materials and outreach coordination.

  • Author Support

    One project manager coordinating the designers, editors and platforms around your book.

How it fits together

What to Know Before You Begin

  • You keep control

    With Author Services you keep your copyright, publishing rights and author-controlled publishing accounts, unless a separate written agreement expressly says otherwise.

  • Editing is quoted separately

    JJL evaluates editorial needs and can coordinate qualified editorial professionals. Editorial scope is quoted separately after manuscript review.

  • No guaranteed outcomes

    JJL does the work, but bookstore placement, appearances, media coverage, reviews and sales are never guaranteed.
