co-publishing agreement that includes the following services: 

 

Our professional editors provide an overall substantive edit of the book’s content, form, organization, documentation, and permissions.

 

Our copyeditors will scrutinize the manuscript’s structure, grammar, punctuation, and spelling to eliminate errors and ambiguities, and to bring it into compliance with conventional standards.

 

Our editors will make sure that needed changes, corrections, revisions, additions, and deletions are made.

 

Our professional typesetters typeset every Creation House book, enabling us to provide an interior presentation with superior quality.

 

We have award-winning graphic designers—among the most talented in the industry. Receiving your input, our designers will create a state-of-the-art cover design to meet with your approval.

 

Our designers will help you select an interior design that fits the style and genre of your book.

 

The ISBN is your book’s identification number. All bookstores use this number to track the sales of any particular title. We will obtain your book’s ISBN and print it on the back cover and copyright page.

 

Creation House will register your book with the U.S. Copyright Office. The copyright notification will be issued in your name and will be printed on the copyright page of the book.

 

We will apply for a Library of Congress (LOC) control number for your book, and the number will be printed on your book’s copyright page.

 

We employ professional printers that manufacture books with the very highest quality of materials and workmanship. These same printers produce best-selling books found in bookstores across the country.

 

The timeframe for production of a book is affected by a number of variables, especially the size and type of book it is. A typical softcover book can be produced in about sixteen weeks.

 

As your publisher, we will make your book available to industry trade buyers, including major bookstore chains, wholesalers, and distributors. We will advertise your book in catalogs distributed to the majority of Christian bookstores in the U.S.; plus, we will get it listed on major bookselling websites. We will also send press releases about your book to key media outlets.

  

 

Those services include, but are not limited to, the following: 

 

Our professional designers can create customized ads of any size to promote your book.

 

We can act as a media agency securing advertising space for you within our own publications—Charisma, Ministry Today, New Man, SpiritLed Woman, Christian Retailing, and Vida Cristiana—as well as in other industry periodicals.

 

We can create customized brochures and mail pieces to your specifications and suggest creative ways to distribute them to reach potential readers.

 

We can have your book cover enlarged and mounted on foam-core backing to use as a promotional display.

 

We can provide specialized marketing thrusts, such as ads in unique publications aimed at target audiences, product shipment inserts, bind-in cards, and many other effective methods.
