A Printer's Choice Success Story.

“The results speak for themselves—a book of high technical quality that is available right now for pre-order in all the major outlets, and a marketing plan to drive sales. But again, it’s the intangibles that Izzard brought me that mean so much. In just a few months, Izzard helped me gain the confidence and understanding to take a Word file and turn it into a book—a hardback, softcover, and e-book, all at once. In other words, with Izzard Ink, my book-writing dream quickly became reality.”

A Printer's Choice

Summary

Challenge

  • The book explores themes such as the intersection of faith and environmental protection, all in the context of a futuristic mystery that sees its characters working to solve humanity’s first homicide in space. The story is informed by the author’s master’s degree in theology, his engineering degree, and his three decades working for Rhode Island’s Department of Environmental Management.
  • Bill thought of self-publishing as a last resort strategy to get his book in front of readers, but once he started to explore the possibilities, it became clear that a publishing partner like Izzard Ink could help him realize his goals far better and far faster than if he tried to go solo.

Our Role

  • Book cover and interior design
  • Coordinate distribution efforts
  • Create a solid business plan
  • Gather trade reviews

Solution

  • Working with Izzard was the great one-stop solution that helped Bill save his energy for writing, and ultimately succeed with his book.
  • The author approved all aspects of the book publishing process.
  • The author received the attention he required and deserved. Bill has been invited to national radio shows and there has been discussion about making the book into a motion picture!
