Aldine Pub­li­ca­tions, LLC works with authors and writ­ers who want to cre­ate an appeal­ing book, metic­u­lously pre­pared to indus­try standards. Top-quality cover design, beau­ti­fully designed and type­set inte­ri­ors, man­u­script edit­ing, copy writ­ing, index­ing, title con­sult­ing, POD book print­ing, and expert advice are con­ve­niently avail­able from one source. We rep­re­sent a new hybrid, some­one who will func­tion as a pub­lish­ing man­ager for the author. The pub­lish­ing man­ager will han­dle func­tions such guid­ing the author through the self-publishing process, as well as mar­ket­ing, pub­lic­ity, spon­sor­ship, social media, and the inter­face between the online (and offline) book retail­ers. What the author needs is time to write; there­fore, hir­ing a man­ager who can han­dle the rest of the pub­lish­ing func­tions will free the author to do what he or she does best. The most time– and cost-effective approach is to adopt the self-publishing model, which involves out­sourc­ing most of the non-writing pub­lish­ing processes.
