Our Process | How Izzard Ink Helps Authors Publish Professionally

Structure That Supports. Strategy That Scales.
A Process Built Around You.

Publishing a book should feel like building something meaningful — not guessing, scrambling, or settling.

At Izzard Ink, our process is structured but never rigid. It’s designed to meet you where you are and move you — step by step — toward a book that reflects your voice, meets your goals, and stands the test of time.

We call it:
Plan. Pick. Publish. Promote. Personal.
And every stage is shaped by your story.

Plan - Where Your Vision Takes Shape

It starts with clarity.

Our manuscript assessment isn’t a pass/fail—it’s a guided review that captures your goals, your voice, and your potential. We listen deeply and build a strategic foundation that every team member can work from.

We’ve developed a creative structure that adapts to the author — not the other way around.
Through collaborative tools and shared vision docs, your creative intent becomes a shared mission across editorial, design, and marketing.

No packages. No silos. No handoffs. Just clarity, creativity, and alignment — from first page to final product.

Pick - Build Your Publishing Team - With Purpose

Authors at Izzard don’t get assigned. They get matched.

We present a curated team proposal outlining editorial and design professionals selected for your book — based on genre, tone, timeline, and alignment.
Each proposal includes rationale, bios, availability, and creative fit.

You choose your collaborators.
We guide the match.

Publish - Professional Standards, Creative Control

From manuscript to finished book, the process is collaborative, intentional, and transparent.

We manage production timelines, editorial loops, and design reviews — all with the rigor of a traditional press and the flexibility of an independent model. You’re part of every decision, but never left to figure it out alone.

We aim for more than “done.”
We aim for done right.

Promote - Launch With Clarity, Grow With Intention

Promotion isn’t guesswork. It’s strategy.

We design campaign plans that match your goals — whether you’re looking to earn local credibility, grow your audience, or attract press attention.
Through audience targeting, creative angles, and channel selection, we help you stand out where it matters.

In one recent campaign, a first-time author achieved 64 confirmed media appearances, from blog features and guest posts to interviews, playlists, and genre lists — all tailored to their tone and story.

When it’s done right, promotion doesn’t feel like selling.
It feels like momentum.

Personal – Because Publishing Still Needs A Human Touch

We’ve built a tech-enabled publishing platform to remove the paperwork — so we can spend more time building relationships.

You’ll have one dedicated point of contact throughout the journey. No department handoffs. No guessing who to ask. No “hope it gets done” moments.

“I never felt like a client. I felt like a collaborator — like the whole team was moving with me, not just around me.”
