The Self-Publishing Process with Palmore

Palmore is a one-stop, full-service publisher dedicated to independent writers. Our process starts with you: we take the time to learn about you, your book, and your goals, and we develop a smooth, personalized plan to take you from a rough draft to a published book. We believe that your book deserves professional editorial, design, distribution, and marketing support. These four pillars are the backbone of our publishing process.

Our Author-Centric Publishing Process

Every author’s journey is unique, which is why we offer a customizable self-publishing process that puts you in the driver’s seat. Here’s a breakdown of the steps involved in publishing your book with us:

Learn

You’ll connect with your personal publishing consultant to create a custom-built publishing plan that meets your unique needs. We can move on from this phase whenever you’re ready. For most authors, this research phase lasts about a month.

Discovery & Onboarding

Your dedicated publishing manager will onboard you to the publishing process. Fill out questionnaires and provide feedback on your project to ensure that your vision is realized from the very beginning. We’ll also assign an ISBN to your book at this stage. This phase usually lasts about a week.

Editing

Palmore Publishing takes a personal approach from the start. Authors are assigned a personal publishing consultant from the first call to answer your questions and chart a path to publication. From there, you’re assigned a dedicated project manager to guide your manuscript through editing, formatting, publishing, printing, and distribution. There’s no such thing as a dumb question — we’re here to help and clarify anything whenever you need us.

Design

From cover design to interior formatting, illustration, and eBook conversion, our design experts create a book that looks as good as it reads.

Proofing

You’ll be able to review and approve your personalized designs through each step of the journey. Once the digital proof is available, you’ll review it again to be extra sure the book is ready for readers.

Distribution

We’ll set up your book for print-on-demand and e-book distribution through thousands of online retailers, ensuring that your book is available to readers worldwide.

Printing

Chat with your publishing consultant about various print options, including paper quality, binding, and more. We’ll help you choose the best option for your book, ensuring that it looks and feels as good as it reads.

Marketing

Use our marketing services to create awareness about your book and get tips on a long-term marketing plan. We’ll work with you to ensure that your book is marketed to the right audience, helping you to reach your readers and build your brand.
