Entering the world of publishing can be daunting, especially for new authors. However, with the Flex Publishing package from As You Wish Publishing, the journey becomes significantly more manageable and rewarding. This comprehensive guide delves into the myriad benefits of the Flex Publishing package, emphasizing its flexibility, author coaching, and the ability to start the publishing process without a completed manuscript. Additionally, we will explore the various marketing tools and services offered, such as Amazon bestseller ranking, Barnes & Noble listings, and promotional strategies to enhance an author's reach and sales.
Flexibility: The Cornerstone of Flex Publishing
One of the standout features of the Flex Publishing package is its unparalleled flexibility. Authors are not required to have a completed manuscript to begin the publishing process. This flexibility allows writers to secure their publishing package upfront and take up to two years to finalize and submit their manuscripts. This extended timeframe is perfect for authors who are balancing writing with other commitments or those who need additional time to polish their work.
How to Leverage This Flexibility
Plan Your Writing Schedule: Use the extended timeframe to create a realistic and manageable writing schedule. This approach ensures that you can produce high-quality work without the pressure of tight deadlines.
Iterative Feedback: Take advantage of the time to seek feedback from beta readers or writing groups. Incorporate their insights to refine your manuscript before the final submission.
Focus on Quality: Use the flexibility to focus on the quality of your manuscript rather than rushing to meet a deadline. This ensures that your book meets professional standards and resonates with readers.
Author Coaching: Expert Guidance Every Step of the Way
The Flex Publishing package gives you the add-on option for five one-hour coaching sessions with the publisher. These sessions are designed to provide personalized support and guidance throughout the writing and publishing process. Author coaching can cover a range of topics, including manuscript development, writing techniques, and marketing strategies.
How to Leverage Author Coaching
Tailored Advice: Use coaching sessions to get tailored advice on specific challenges you are facing in your writing process. This personalized guidance can significantly improve your manuscript's quality.
Confidence Coaching: Boost your confidence with personalized coaching sessions designed to address self-doubt and enhance your writing journey.
Skill Development: Focus on developing key writing skills during coaching sessions. Whether it's improving structure, dialogue, pacing, or character development, targeted coaching can elevate your writing.
Staying Accountable: Set realistic goals and schedule regular check-ins to maintain momentum and ensure consistent progress towards completing your manuscript.
Starting Without a Completed Manuscript: Embrace the Process
One of the unique advantages of the Flex Publishing package is the ability to start the publishing process without a completed manuscript. This feature allows authors to commit to their publishing journey early and use the resources provided to develop their manuscript over time.
How to Leverage This Advantage
Commit Early: Secure your publishing package early to take advantage of all the resources and support available. This early commitment can provide motivation and structure to your writing process.
Utilize Resources: Use the available resources, such as author coaching and feedback, to develop your manuscript. The support offered can guide you from concept to completion effectively.
