Authors & Reviewers discussion

Hi there! R. Lynn and I are starting a new Author Services, possibly publishing company in the future.

We are looking for authors to sign up. We're looking for only TWO at this time. It would be great if you were a new author who didn't have much experience with marketing your books or where to start.

I would prefer to have an author with no Facebook or Twitter accounts. I need to test the services that we will be offering out. Or if you already have an FB page we can work on promoting that as well.

The two authors that we sign up will be signed up for FREE and will have a chance to help us run this network in the future.

If you are interested please email us at [email protected] and we will send you the sign up form. You will need to fill that out and attach it along with one of your manuscripts.

Once we have read your manuscript we will provide an honest review of it for you free of charge as an incentive. If you are approved to be one of our authors we will then contact you so that we can get started.

Here are the services we plan to offer at this time (subject to change)

Company Statement
In a market saturated by indie-authors, we must come together and support each other. MO Publishing and Author Services is here to provide our fellow indie-authors with the resources they need to succeed and share their work with the world.
Services Offered
• Peer review of any book submitted to the publishing company
All books submitted to our company will be read by at least two other authors. We will provide honest reviews on every book we read and we will post them on Goodreads, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, the company's blog, our personal blogs, and Smashwords. If your manuscript is accepted, you will be added to our list of authors.
• Company logo for your books
As a valued author with MO Publishing & Author Services, you will have the right to use the company logo the back cover of your print book and your eBook, which will make your work more marketable.
• Author Services
Once an author has been added to our list of authors we will begin to provide them with the tools they need to get their books published. We will provide authors with names of editors, and graphic designers. We will also set our authors up with a group of BETA readers that will provide valuable feedback on your work.
• Marketing
One of our goals as a company is to provide our authors with resources they need to market their work and themselves as authors. We will show authors how to get more followers and likes using social media, set them up with blog tours, and help to market them using the company's social media accounts. We will shamelessly promote our authors on our personal pages and social media accounts as well.
• Photographic Data Base
As an added feature, we can provide our authors with a photographic database for cover photographs.
• Graphic Design
As an added feature, we can provide our authors with minor graphic design.
• Learning Center
Authors will be provided with a monthly newsletter that will give them helpful tips on writing and marketing their work.
• Goodreads Group
Authors will be invited to participate in a closed group on Goodreads so that we can all share resources, tips, and discuss our work.
• Hastings Retail Sales
Our authors will be provided with the option to have their printed books sold at a Hastings retails store in Prescott, AZ. If the author so chooses, and at their own expense, MO Publishing & Author Services can schedule a book signing at the retail store.

Oh so cool! If you ever need a blogger/reviewer, or just someone to help promote just let me know! :)

Jackie,

One of the services I would like to help other authors with is getting them set up on blog tours. So yes, we'll need you!

This sounds amazing!!!

Amber, I already have your book. Would you like Regina to review it as well so we can consider you for one of our authors?

Oh, this sounds like a really great idea, I would love to help with blog tours or something like that when the time comes. Good luck with this!

Thank you Paige! I'll keep you in mind!

We only have 1 spot left for the 6 months free! We're reviewing a couple different manuscripts so that spot may just be filled quickly.

Hi Marisa-
I would like to submit my book if you are interested.
Thank you and best of luck!

Sorry it took me so long to get back you. I would love for Regina to review it as well. Thanks so much!

Justin and Amber, I'm going to PM you. :)

Not sure how I overlooked this - but if you are still considering books for your final spot, I would love for you to consider mine if at all possible. Due to the time that has passed, I can appreciate it and completely understand if you've already filled your last spot.

Thanks and best of luck. :)

Hi Roderick,

the spots have been filled, but we are interested in speaking with you. I'm going to PM you.
