Discuss your project →Listing & positioning
For a book whose audience or sales description needs a clearer direction. We review the intended reader, the promise of the book and how the description communicates that promise.
You receive positioning recommendations and guidance for improving the description. This service focuses on the sales message; checking listing details is covered by the separate metadata audit.
Publishing workflow systems
Document the steps, checkpoints and handovers in your publishing workflow, with scope suited to the way you work.
Send a brief outline of your current process and where it breaks down. We confirm the deliverables before quoting.
Metadata audit
For an existing listing that needs a factual consistency check. We compare the title, author attribution and format information with the book details you provide.
You receive a written list of discrepancies and recommended corrections. This audit does not include audience research or rewriting the sales description.
