Storyteller
Storyteller covers what a novel needs to reach readers, each step done with care. A professional cover. Pages laid out so the story holds a reader's attention. And an editorial assessment: a close look at sample passages, an honest account of what's working, and a recommendation on the editing your book actually needs. Your paperback and ebook formats each carry an ISBN at a price you set.
Scribe
A novel's first weeks matter, but the months that follow are where readers actually find it—and Scribe is built for that longer stretch.
Novelist
Novels travel through conversation, and Novelist gives yours several places to start one. Book clubs get a discussion guide, hosted on your custom website, that hands them somewhere to begin. Podcast listeners hear you talk about the work in your own voice. A press release goes to a hundred outlets that cover fiction, written and targeted the way newsrooms expect. And a thirty-day plan gives you something to post that was written for this book rather than deciding each morning what to say about it.
Saga
Nothing held back—Saga gives your novel the fullest version of itself. Everything in Novelist carries over, and your book arrives in hardcover, paperback, digital, and audio formats, dressed in a cover from our finest design tier and introduced through a trailer and short-form video made for the way readers discover fiction on their phones. You receive enough copies to put the book directly into the hands of the reviewers, booksellers and readers most likely to carry it further than you could alone.
