Non-Fiction

Narrative non-fiction is where true events are reported in a narrative, as in fiction novels. It follows the creative structure of exploring even those events that may not be crucial to the entire report but are essential to transforming conventional news or information into an interesting story. However, the overall narrative is glued to the reality of the event to align with the definition of non-fiction.

Creative nonfiction refers to the nonfiction subgenre that combines fiction writing techniques to write truth-based content. The structure is story-like, where the problem gradually builds till it reaches a solution-based climax. However, the entire story is built within the bounds of truth. Creative nonfiction also includes content that relays the information or truth in a creative way.

The ghostwriting process for a nonfiction book about paranormal experiences typically involves extensive interviews with the author to gather details about their encounters. The ghostwriter then crafts a narrative using the author's voice, ensuring that the experiences are accurately portrayed while maintaining a captivating and engaging storyline.

Yes, maintaining authenticity is a priority in nonfiction ghostwriting. Ghostwriters work closely with authors to capture the genuine emotions and details of their experiences. While some narrative enhancements may be made for readability, the goal is always to preserve the essence and truthfulness of the author's paranormal encounters.

Ghostwriters approach paranormal topics with a high level of sensitivity. They establish a rapport with the author, creating a safe space for open communication. The goal is to respect the author's experiences and perspectives, presenting them in a way that acknowledges the personal and sometimes profound nature of paranormal encounters.

Absolutely. Ghostwriters are skilled in organizing and structuring information to create a cohesive and engaging narrative. They collaborate with authors to determine the best way to present the material, whether through chronological storytelling, thematic organization, or a combination of both, ensuring a well-structured and compelling nonfiction book.

The level of author involvement varies, but a successful collaboration often includes regular communication and feedback.

Contracts are established at the outset, clarifying the terms of the agreement, including the transfer of rights. This ensures that you have creative ownership of the work and that the ghostwriter's contribution remains confidential.

eBooks Ghostwriting

eBook ghostwriting is a service where you hire professional ghostwriters to create content on behalf of an individual or organization. The process of eBook ghostwriting involves collaboration, where the client provides ideas, outlines, and relevant information while the ghostwriter transforms them into a cohesive eBook that fits the relevant genre and its audience.

EDITING & FORMATTING

Editing involves a comprehensive content review, addressing structure, style, and clarity. Proofreading focuses on surface errors like grammar and spelling.

Line editing polishes language and style for readability. Developmental editing focuses on structure, plot, and thematic consistency for a cohesive narrative.

Formatting involves the arrangement of visual elements, and typesetting ensures a consistent and aesthetically pleasing layout for your written material.

Editing service costs vary based on factors such as project complexity, word count, and specific research requirements. We provide transparent pricing after an initial consultation to tailor our services to your needs.

Developmental Editing

Developmental Editing is a vital step for manuscript enhancement. Developmental editing is a thorough evaluation of your manuscript's content, structure, and storytelling. This process pinpoints areas for improvement in plot development, character arcs, pacing, and more. It’s an important process if you are unsure whether your manuscript has reached its full potential.

The timeline for developmental editing varies based on factors such as manuscript length and complexity. It generally takes several weeks to a month for comprehensive developmental editing.

A proficient developmental editor works to enhance your manuscript while preserving your unique voice and style. While providing valuable suggestions and feedback for improvement, the final decisions on revisions always remain with the author.

Developmental editing is about shaping a manuscript's overall structure, content, and storytelling—focusing on plot development, character building, pacing, and narrative flow. In contrast, copy editing addresses grammar, punctuation, spelling, and style issues, ensuring an error-free, consistent, and well-presented text. When comparing developmental editing vs. copy editing, the former deals with the finer manuscript details along with the broader aspects.

Absolutely. At Lynx Publishers, we encourage authors to communicate their preferences and concerns. Whether you prioritize refining character dynamics, addressing specific plot points, or enhancing thematic elements, our developmental editors tailor their approach to meet your unique vision. Open communication ensures a collaborative process that aligns with your creative goals and elevates your manuscript to its fullest potential.

Structural Editing

Structural editing is a comprehensive process of refining the overall structure, coherence, and effectiveness of a written work. This form of editing focuses mainly on the pacing and organization. Rather than solely addressing surface-level issues like grammar and punctuation, structural editing delves deep into the fundamental components of the text, ensuring that the narrative flows smoothly, engages the audience, and achieves its intended purpose. In essence, structural editing aims to elevate the manuscript to its highest potential, shaping it into a polished and compelling piece of literature.

Developmental editing refines your overall plot, characters, structure, and content. On the other hand, structural editing only focuses on the flow and structure of the manuscript.

Structural editing considers the book in a cohesive entirety while copyediting focuses on individual paragraphs and sentences, addressing spelling and grammar errors. This means that while individual paragraphs may undergo restructuring for improved readability during copyediting, a copyedit does not address the structure and the flow of the entire manuscript.

Several indicators suggest that your manuscript requires structural editing. If you notice inconsistencies in plot development, pacing issues, or character arcs, or if you feel that the overall flow of your narrative is disjointed or lacks coherence, it is best to hire professional editors for structural editing. Additionally, feedback from beta readers or peers can point out structural weaknesses. Ultimately, if you want to enhance the overall readability, engagement, and effectiveness of your manuscript, investing in structural editing is a wise decision.

The cost of structural editing can vary depending on several factors, including the length of the manuscript and the complexity of the content. Typically, structural editing rates are calculated either per word, per page, or as a flat fee for the entire manuscript. To determine the exact cost of structural editing for your manuscript, it's recommended to request quotes from multiple editors or editing services and inquire about their pricing structures and any additional fees that may apply.

Line Editing

A line editor goes line by line, tightening sentence structure to make the language sharper and clearer. They examine how a writer's word choice and syntax affect the tone or mood of a piece of literature.

Line editing differs from structural editing. While structural editing, the editor takes a broad picture of your novel's style and structure, whereas line editing edits the stylistic decisions you make while writing.

Structural editing considers the book in a cohesive entirety while copyediting focuses on individual paragraphs and sentences, addressing spelling and grammar errors. This means that while individual paragraphs may undergo restructuring for improved readability during copyediting, a copyedit does not address the entire manuscript's structure and flow.

Line editing occurs before copy editing. Line editors are generally concerned with stylistic issues, whereas copy editors deal with technicalities. Copy editing ensures that a manuscript's wording meets conventional English conventions and is consistent with the house style guide. While a line editor and a copy editor share some characteristics—attention to detail and an interest in how language functions at the sentence level—their tasks are fundamentally different.

The duration of line editing depends on various factors, including the length and complexity of your manuscript, as well as the specific requirements of the editing service. Typically, line editing can take anywhere from several days to a few weeks to complete.

Formatting Typesetting

Of course, it is. If you have a particular typeface in mind, please let us know. However, we recommend you avoid utilizing unorthodox typefaces such as Brush Script, Comic Sans, or any other decorative typeface. We know the typefaces that work for print and which do not, as well as which will burn out or bleed. Finally, we always do what is best for our clients. That being said, if you have a specific typeface preference, whether for chapter headings, body text, or ornaments, please let us know so we can style accordingly.

Amazon uses MOBI files for eBooks, but nearly everyone else uses EPUBS files, including iBooks, Kobo, and Barnes & Noble.

Formatting and typesetting are the processes of designing and arranging text, graphics, and other elements in a document to make it visually appealing, readable, and suitable for popular platforms. You need it to improve the overall quality and visual impact of your material, making it more accessible and engaging to your target audience.

Yes, we offer formatting and typesetting services in a variety of languages and unique characters.

Publishing

As a self-published author, you either publish the book yourself or get help from a professional self-publishing company to publish your work on platforms like Amazon KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing), Barnes & Noble, etc. In this instance, the author pays the publishing company to handle the publishing process for them. Self-publishing services commonly include designing the book cover, interior layout or page setting, editing the manuscript, assigning ISBN, marketing, and distribution. You will be involved in different aspects of the book publishing process leading up to the final published copy.

An ISBN (International Standard Book Number) is a 10- or 13-digit identification number that allows publishers, readers, and libraries to locate specific titles. ISBN is crucial for publishing your book on platforms like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc. Every version of a book, including hardcover, paperback, second editions, etc., must have unique ISBNs.

The timeline for the publishing process can vary based on several factors, including the complexity of the manuscript, the author's involvement, and the current workload. However, on average, the process from manuscript submission to book release takes approximately 6 to 12 months. It's important to note that each book is unique, and our team works diligently to ensure the highest quality throughout every production stage.

We offer a comprehensive suite of marketing and promotion services to help your book gain visibility and reach its target audience. Our services include author website setup, social media promotion, email marketing, press releases, book launch campaigns, and more.

Full Color Publishing

Full-color publishing services are comprehensive solutions to produce high-quality printable books with vibrant, full-color graphics and images.

Full-color publishing, also known as four-color printing, utilizes the CMYK color model (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) to reproduce a wide range of colors, resulting in vivid images. On the other hand, standard publishing may use only one or two colors, limiting the visual appeal of the final product.

Enhanced Visual Appeal: Full-color printing brings your designs to life with vibrant colors and sharp details, capturing the attention of your target audience.
Professional Image: High-quality, full-color materials convey professionalism and credibility, making a positive impression on readers.
Increased Engagement: Colorful visuals can significantly improve reader engagement and comprehension, whether it's for marketing materials or educational content.
Brand Consistency: Full-color printing ensures that your brand colors remain consistent across all printed materials, reinforcing brand recognition and identity.

Print-on-demand (POD) services allow for the production of books in small quantities as they are ordered. This means that there is no need for large print runs or inventory, as books are printed only when required or ordered. Full-color publishing services may include print-on-demand options, enabling authors and publishers to produce vibrant, full-color books without the upfront costs and risks associated with traditional printing methods.

Art Books: Books featuring artwork, illustrations, or photography often benefit from full-color printing to accurately case the visual content.
Children's Books: Colorful and vibrant illustrations are essential to capture young readers’ attention and enhance their reading experience.
Cookbooks: Full-color printing allows for mouthwatering food photography and visually appealing recipe layouts, making cookbooks more engaging and enticing.
Travel Guides: Colorful images and maps can bring destinations to life, helping travelers visualize their next adventure.
Marketing Materials: Promotional content and product descriptions need eye-catching visuals to grab attention and effectively communicate messages, making full-color printing essential for marketing success.

Self-publishing will dominate the publishing sector in 2023, providing a straightforward road map for generating a comic. Despite the common notion that comic book publishing only allows for the publication of digital comics, the platforms also offer print-on-demand options. It allows you to distribute printed copies of your comic book to your readers. This option allows your readers to order tangible copies of your comic, which is less expensive and more convenient than traditional printing and distribution. The author can make their comics accessible for print on demand in a variety of formats, including saddle stitch binding, black and white, and full-color comics.

Childrens' Book

A children's book should be between 28 and 32 pages long, including pictures. Younger readers like 300-800 words in their books, whereas school-aged youngsters can often take roughly 1200 words. A children's picture book should be limited to 2,000 words.

Other than the front matter, which includes the title page and copyright page, children's book themes typically include spreads. Children's books should have at least 14 spreads. Spreads are two-page sets that contain either pictures, text, or both. The number of words in those 14 spreads varies depending on the age of the target readers.

Assessing the readiness of your manuscript involves several steps. Firstly, ensure that your story is engaging and age-appropriate for your target audience. Consider seeking feedback from beta readers or joining a writers' group for constructive critique. Additionally, evaluate if your manuscript adheres to industry standards in terms of formatting, language, and structure. It's also essential to research and understand the current trends and preferences in children's literature to ensure your book stands out in the market.

Finding the right publisher for your children's book requires thorough research and preparation. Start by identifying publishers that specialize in children's literature and align with your book's genre and themes. Review their submission guidelines carefully and ensure your manuscript meets their requirements. Consider attending writing conferences or workshops where you can network with industry professionals and learn more about different publishing houses. It's also helpful to seek recommendations from fellow authors or literary agents who may have insights into reputable publishers in the children's book market.

While it's not mandatory, illustrations are a crucial aspect of children's books as they enhance storytelling and engage young readers. If you're not an illustrator yourself, you'll likely need to collaborate with one. Start by researching illustrators whose style complements your story and resonates with your target audience. You can find illustrators through online platforms, social media, or by attending illustration events and exhibitions. When approaching illustrators, be clear about your budget, timeline, and vision for the illustrations. Consider creating a contract outlining the terms of the collaboration to ensure clarity and professionalism throughout the process.

Here are the primary categories of children’s books:
Categories Age Group Word Count Number of Pages
Board Book 0-4 yrs. Less than 100 16-24
Picture Book 4-6 yrs. 200-500 24-32
Non-fiction Picture Books 5+ yrs. 10000-30000 32-64

Not at all! We offer cookbook publishing services to everyone, including culinary aficionados, home cooks, and food bloggers, as well as professional chefs and experienced culinary artists.

We supply you with the final book in numerous forms, including typeset, right page size, margins, and print-ready artwork. You can have them printed and delivered simply by selecting the option on the publishing site.

Publishing cookbooks is a distinct specialization in the publishing industry. You can either sell your culinary knowledge to traditional cookbook publishing businesses or self-publish your recipe book on reputable platforms as an indie cookbook publisher, which is a less expensive choice. Cookbook printing costs differ from other books because it is a pictorial book with a systemic organization of content. It often requires you to invest in graphic services to improve the appeal of your recipe and entire book.
However, this investment yields a significant return because consumers prefer to read cookbooks that include bright images of the prepared food. You can browse Amazon to view several published cookbooks that have bright photographs of prepared recipes, along with the other components of a recipe book.

Our cookbooks measure 5.5″ W x 8.5″ H, making them ideal for kitchen usage and bookshelf storage. The 3-ring binders and hardback covers are slightly bigger, but the text pages remain 5.5"W x 8.5"H.

Cookbooks are a nonfiction genre that includes several sub-genres. Cookbook sub-genres are mostly defined by their intended audience. For example, if your dishes come from Asian culture, your cookbook's sub-genre will be Asian or oriental cuisines, yet if they are convenient comfort food, the book will become a young adult cookbook.

Book Marketing

Book marketing significantly impacts the visibility and success of authors’ work. A well-executed book marketing plan strategy ensures the book reaches its target audience, generating interest and loyal readership. Authors can achieve this through strategic promotion, active social media engagement, and targeted marketing efforts.

We conduct regular analysis of search engine rankings and generate audit reports to monitor the progress of book marketing campaigns. Our marketing team ensures that these audit reports are shared with authors regularly throughout the campaign.

Paid and organic are the two primary approaches to book marketing. Organic marketing focuses on improving a book's search engine ranking through affordable SEO services and social media leverage. However, we do not directly pay the search engines in an organic approach. In contrast, paid marketing involves financial investments in platforms like social media sites. Notably, paid marketing often gives quicker results compared to the more gradual progress of organic marketing.

Social media plays a significant role in the modern book marketing plan. Platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok are valuable tools for authors to connect with their readers. Authors can build a dedicated community by sharing book updates and participating in engaging discussions. Effective hashtags, engaging content, and engaging interaction with followers contribute to the success of social media in promoting books.

Author Website

Your author website should include an author bio, bookshelf content, a mailing list sign-up, a blog section, contact information, and a media page.

Yes, we offer comprehensive services related to the author's website. Our website maintenance services include regular updates, content management, security monitoring, and performance optimization.

However, if you don't want to manage the technology yourself, you can hire a designer to assist you with any future upgrades, tweaks, or technically advanced tasks!

Seo Marketing

Being strategically located on the internet is critical for all authors. SEO for authors provides a distinctive communication channel for reaching out to potential clients.

The idea behind organic ranking in SEO services for authors is to rank up your brand and book by optimizing your website and making it perform even better on the internet.

SEO book marketing entails enhancing your book's online presence to increase its exposure in search engine results. Unlike traditional book promotion, which may rely on events and media coverage, SEO digital marketing uses keywords, content, and online methods to attract people actively looking for books in your category or topic.

The timetable for SEO results can vary depending on factors such as competition and your book's topic. In general, authors may notice gains in search engine rankings within a few weeks to months, with more significant effects over time as the marketing of SEO content and overall approach grow.

A website or author platform can help with SEO marketing, but it is not a must. You can use additional online channels, such as social media, Amazon Author Central, or book-related forums, to employ SEO methods and efficiently promote your book.

Content Marketing

You must develop a specialized content marketing plan to properly engage your target readers. Begin by researching online what kind of websites, social media platforms, and genre-related forums your target audience visits. Once you've identified these areas, tailor your content to attract and communicate with them!

Every indie author should opt for content marketing for their author work. It is one of the most effective strategies to capture the attention of more readers, allowing you to sell more books and build a large following.

Having an authentic brand voice simply means that you are consistently true to your writing style as an independent author. For example, if your books are incredibly serious, yet your content marketing is amusing, you deliver contradictory messages. However, if you use the same tactic and tone in your digital marketing as you do in your books, your target audience will know you're genuine. Each potential reader who discovers your books will consider purchasing them because they value your voice. All you need to do is be yourself! As an author, you draw readers in with your touch, tone, and cadence. When you keep true to that voice, your readers will know they can relate to you.

Authors can assess content marketing success using key performance indicators such as web traffic, metrics of engagement (likes, shares, and comments), click-through rates, book sales, and audience feedback.

Book marketing benefits from a variety of content marketing services, such as blog posts, articles, social media material, Press releases, blurbs, email newsletters, videos, and podcasts

Social Media Marketing

Social media marketing for book marketing entails using social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and others to promote and sell books. It's critical because it gives authors a direct way to interact with their readers, establish a loyal fan following, and promote book sales.

Social media marketing packages vary, but they typically include content production, audience research, posting schedules, paid advertising management, and performance tracking. Additionally, services may include hosting contests, planning virtual book releases, and managing author accounts to ensure a constant online presence.

The timescale for seeing results varies depending on a number of factors, including the author's current online presence, the engagement with the audience, and the exact marketing methods used. In general, authors may expect improved interaction and brand exposure within a few weeks to months. Social media marketing is a continuous activity that gains traction over time.

Hyperlocal SMM is a method that focuses on a specific geographic place in order to engage potential clients in that area. This method can be quite useful for authors of certain genres.

Authors can evaluate the success of their social media marketing strategies through various metrics and indicators. Here's a comprehensive guide:

Engagement Metrics: Monitor metrics such as likes, shares, comments, and retweets on social media posts. Higher engagement indicates that your content resonates with your audience and encourages interaction.

Follower Growth: Track the growth of your followers over time. A steady increase in followers signifies that your content is attracting new audiences and expanding your reach.

Website Traffic: Use analytics tools to measure the amount of traffic driven to your website or blog from social media platforms. An increase in website visits suggests that your social media efforts are effectively directing users to your content.

Conversion Rate: Monitor the conversion rate of social media users into subscribers, email sign-ups, or book purchases. Analyzing conversion rates helps determine the effectiveness of your call-to-action strategies and the relevance of your content to your target audience.

Brand Mentions and Sentiment: Keep track of mentions of your author's brand or book titles across social media platforms. Assess the sentiment associated with these mentions to gauge the overall perception of your brand and identify areas for improvement.

ROI (Return on Investment): Evaluate the financial return generated from your social media marketing efforts compared to the resources invested. Calculate metrics such as cost per acquisition (CPA) or return on ad spend (ROAS) to determine the profitability of your campaigns.

Competitive Analysis: Conduct a competitive analysis to benchmark your social media performance against that of similar authors or competitors in your genre. Identify successful strategies employed by competitors and incorporate them into your own marketing approach.

Feedback and Reviews: Pay attention to feedback and reviews from your social media audience regarding your content, books, or marketing campaigns. Positive feedback indicates satisfaction and engagement, while negative feedback presents opportunities for improvement.

Long-Term Impact: Assess the long-term impact of your social media marketing efforts on brand awareness, author reputation, and book sales. Measure metrics such as brand recall, brand loyalty, and repeat purchases to gauge sustained success over time.

By regularly monitoring and analyzing these key metrics, authors can effectively evaluate the success of their social media marketing strategies and make informed decisions to optimize future campaigns.
