Publishing a book is a journey—one that requires creativity, dedication, and expert support at every step. At Clearview Press, we’re committed to transforming manuscripts into professional, market-ready books that captivate readers. Whether you’re an aspiring writer or an established author, our team is here to support your vision from the initial draft to the finished book on the shelves of major retailers. Here’s a closer look at how Clearview Press helps authors through each phase of the publishing process.
Editing and Refinement: Bringing Your Story to Its Full Potential
A strong manuscript starts with a well-told story, and refining that story is where our editorial services shine. Clearview Press’s packages, such as the Voyager Package, include professional editorial guidance to ensure your manuscript is clear, polished, and impactful. Experienced editors work with you to refine plot structure, improve character development, enhance clarity, and address any inconsistencies. A professional edit helps elevate your work and brings out its best qualities, enhancing readability and appeal for your target audience.
For authors who are serious about delivering high-quality, compelling narratives, our editorial support provides invaluable insights and improvements. Editing is a collaborative effort, and our editors maintain your voice while ensuring your book resonates with readers, making it both a creative and strategic investment in your success.
Design and Layout: Creating a Beautiful, Reader-Friendly Book
Once the manuscript is finalized, it’s time to bring the book to life visually. Our design team focuses on two critical areas: cover design and interior layout.
- Cover Design: At Clearview Press, we believe your book cover is your most powerful marketing tool. With a range of professional templates to choose from, our designers craft eye-catching covers that capture the essence of your story and entice readers at first glance. The Standard Cover Design included in packages like the Starter and Pioneer ensures every cover is visually compelling and genre-appropriate.
- Interior Layout: A well-designed interior layout enhances the reading experience and makes your book look professional. Our designers work with template options to ensure your book is functional and visually appealing, selecting fonts, formatting elements, and layouts that best suit your genre and target audience. Interior layout choices like page design, font style, and image placement ensure a cohesive, polished look that meets industry standards.
Our design and layout services make sure your book is both aesthetically pleasing and easy to read, which ultimately helps create a positive experience for your readers.
Distribution Channels: Bringing Your Book to Readers Everywhere
With Clearview Press, your book reaches far beyond local bookstores. Our robust distribution options ensure your book is available to readers worldwide. After final approval, we distribute your book across major retail platforms, including Amazon, Google, and Barnes & Noble. This global reach allows readers to access your book in both eBook and print formats, enhancing your visibility and potential audience.
In addition, our Booksellers Return Program helps maximize your book’s chances of being stocked in independent bookstores. Bookstores are more likely to carry self-published titles when they’re returnable, and our return policy removes common barriers that discourage retailers from ordering. This feature gives your book the advantage of accessibility and availability, making it easier for readers and retailers to discover your work.
Marketing Support: Promoting Your Book to the World
Publishing a book is only the beginning—getting it into readers’ hands requires strategic marketing. Clearview Press provides essential marketing tools and guidance to help authors promote their books effectively. Here are some key marketing services included in our packages:
- Marketing Credits: Packages like the Pioneer and Voyager include marketing credits that authors can use to build their promotional efforts. From social media ads to promotional campaigns, these credits empower authors to start their marketing journey with a budget boost.
- Author Website Design: In today’s digital age, a website is essential for building an author’s brand. Our team creates custom websites with a year of free hosting, enabling authors to promote their books and connect with readers online. A professional website expands your reach, serves as a hub for promotional activities, and raises your chances of getting discovered.
- Social Media and Digital Marketing: Social media presence is key to engaging with readers, and our packages come with a social media setup guide. For those new to digital marketing, this guide simplifies the process and includes essential tips for building an online following, promoting book events, and engaging readers.
- BookStubs and Bookstore Listings: Marketing packages also include promotional BookStubs—unique digital codes for free eBook downloads, ideal for giveaways and promotions. With an entry in our online bookstore and inclusion in BookMad’s New Releases section, your book gains additional visibility and credibility among readers looking for fresh, new reads.
Our marketing support ensures that your book reaches the widest possible audience, providing the tools and resources to elevate your promotional efforts and connect with readers around the world.
