“I’ve self-published 15 books over the past ten years. To me, writing books it is like getting a tattoo—once you get one you want another. Self-publishing has become my career and life, and working with AuthorHouse has been a joy.”

– Victoria Howard of Kentucky Horse Park: Paradise Found, and Junior and Elena: A (Horse) Love Story

More than a Publisher

Mitchelle is a self-publisher committed to creating an amazing publishing experience. Here is what’s included in the Pro Package:

Formatting

  • Paperback Publishing – Your book will be available in the most popular format, made of quality, perfect binding, and acid-free library stock paper.
  • Digital Formatting and Distribution – Your book will be distributed online as an e-Book and available through resellers like Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
  • Hardcover Publishing – Your hardcover edition will be perfect bound with a rigid paperboard and finished with a beautiful dustjacket or in a sturdy case-bound volume with high gloss lamination (for Full-Color books).

Editing

  • Editorial Assessment- This preliminary diagnostic process determines which areas of your manuscript need improvement. A detailed review with commentary and general editing suggestions of the first chapter, or about 1,700 words, will be provided to help you gauge what type or level of editing will benefit your manuscript.

Production and Post Production Features

  • Worldwide Online Distribution – Your book will be available for sale online through external retailers such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other resellers that may pick up your book from the Ingram and Baker & Taylor distribution networks.
  • Custom Cover Design – Based on your vision, a cover designer will help bring your book to life by using image manipulation to incorporate five or more design elements to create a unique cover artwork.
  • Electronic Galley – Also referred to as “galley proof,” this is your cover and manuscript in a book layout with chapters and pagination. To ensure the final book design is 100% to your liking, galleys are e-mailed to you for review and approval before the book is ready for purchase.
  • Unlimited Image Insertions – You may provide imagery for your book’s interior pages, and these will be printed either in grayscale or in full color (for Full Color Books).
  • Two Rounds of Interior Revisions – You may want to make changes to your manuscript after proofreading your galley. Each block of revisions allows you to submit up to 50 corrections. Publisher errors such as hyphenation, formatting issues, or misplaced graphics, which occurred during production, must also be noted on the proof form but will not count against the first 50 corrections.
  • Custom Page Design – You will have a say in creating visually appealing page designs bringing your story to life, and building your book’s layout that fits your needs.
  • Two Rounds of Cover Revisions – Have any tweaks you’d like to make to your cover? You have the option to make changes at no additional cost.
  • Amazon “Look Inside”, Google, and Barnes & Noble “Read Instantly” Previews – Allow readers to take a peek inside your book creating interest online before purchasing it. Preview available on Amazon, Google, Barnes & Noble, etc.
  • Enhanced Metadata Listing – Optimized metadata and keywords potentially help your book gain visibility in Amazon search results, so readers discover your book.
  • Set Your Own Price – Enjoy the flexibility of adjusting the retail price of your book’s softcover and hardcover formats.

Registrations

  • ISBN Assignment – A 13-digit identifier is unique to your book and an industry requirement for distribution and retail sales. It allows distributors, retailers, printers, and readers to find and order your book easily.
  • US Copyright Registration – Mitchelle registers your work with the US Copyright Office with copyright registration, so there’s a public record of your ownership of that manuscript.
  • Library of Congress Control Number – Mitchelle will submit a copy of your book to the Library of Congress and arrange for a card catalog number to be assigned to your book.
