​Editorial, Book Design, and Advocacy Services 
​For Independent Authors

Picture
Authors everywhere face the same challenges.  We need a soulful and productive space to write, readers to keep us motivated, shopkeepers to believe in our work, and the media to send news of our books out on every available frequency.

Most of us just want to focus on writing our next book, avoiding the frustration and the lost creative hours on promotion.  There's no shame in that... we're creatives, not necessarily sales people.

Pages Promotions can help with those discouraging pieces of your career.  We believe that the impact of Independent Authors within the literary community cannot be ignored or belittled.  You deserve just as many accolades as those on the NYT list... readers simply haven't discovered you yet.  Our enthusiasm and experience will challenge and change that awareness.

You... Just keep writing.

​We are experienced Independent Authors, writers, editors, and publishers, with degrees in English, Journalism, and Creative Composition.   Since 2010, the team at Pages Promotions has assisted over two-hundred writers and authors edit, publish, and promote their books.  We can help fine tune and ready your book for the marketplace, too.   

​A portion of all proceeds from these services are donated to The Creative Light Writer's Guild to support our efforts toward providing literary scholarships and other community service works.

​Below are a list of our services.  If you have additional questions before you order, please send us a note, and we'll get back with you quickly.

Indie Author Advocate Consult: $50/hour
Books aren't widgets.  One size doesn't fit all.  Each title needs a particular outreach program specific to genre, topic matter, and audience.   If you are looking for a rope bridge to get over the promotion quagmire, contact us for a brainstorming consultation and tap into our knowledge base and resources.  We won't do the promotional work for you... but we'll offer you some proven tools and expert advice to help you along the way.  We offer telephone, Zoom, or in-person consults.

Author Website Design: $500
After a consultation meeting (either in-person or by telephone) to determine color and design elements, we will build a website that will allow the author a place to tell their story, promote their book, build an email list, write a blog, and grow with their writing career.  Our Author websites, built on the Weebly platform, are mobile responsive, meaning the website will be fully functional on both desktop and mobile devices.  Each website includes five basic pages:
  • Home Page
  • Contact Page with email list sign up form
  • Books Page with cover art, synopsis, reviews.
  • Blog Page (maintained by the author after design)
  • About Page
  • PayPal and/or Square payment integration
Additional design changes, information updates, calendars, and other requested elements are invoiced at $25 per hour after the initial build. 

Also included is a two-hour tutorial (either in-person or by telephone) to assist authors in maintaining their website on their own.  Additional tutorial time is billed at $50 per hour.
  • A $250 non-refundable deposit is required to reserve website design services.
  • The deposit will be subtracted from the final invoice.
