Turn your manuscript into a professional book with a publishing path you understand. Get the editorial, design and production support your message deserves.

03 · My message needs to reach people.

Build your author platform and connect with readers through marketing that feels like ministry. Make it easier for the right people to discover your message and stay connected.

Your next chapter starts with support.

£35 billed monthly or £350 billed annually. Annual billing saves £70 compared with twelve monthly payments. Editing, design, publishing and done-for-you platform services are separate purchases.

A publishing path you can understand.

PROFESSIONAL PUBLISHING SUPPORT

You have put care into your message. Prepare it for readers with the editorial, design and production support your book needs.

From manuscript to a professionally prepared book

Editing · Cover design · Print and ebook formatting · Amazon upload guidance

We begin with your manuscript stage, word count, intended reader and publishing goals. Then we agree the scope, deliverables, costs and timescales before the work begins. Your quote depends on the manuscript and agreed services.

Build a connection beyond your book.

PLATFORM & MARKETING SUPPORT

Marketing begins with the people your message serves. Clarify your reader and create a simple route from discovering your message to staying connected with you.

  • Clarify your message, your intended reader and the help your work offers.

  • Plan an author website with a clear reader journey.

  • Create a useful reader resource and a simple funnel to deliver it.

  • Build an email list and a welcome journey that nurtures trust.

Support is scoped around the platform work you need. Ask about an individual project or ongoing training through membership. You do not need to wait until publication to begin connecting with readers.

One story. A shared mission.

PAPER CROWNS COLLABORATION PROJECTS

If you have a testimony to share, a collaborative book can offer a focused way to develop one chapter and introduce your message to readers.

  • Guidance to shape your chapter around your story and its value for the reader.

  • A professionally prepared shared book, with publishing support.

  • Reader-connection support such as a lead magnet, funnel and author profile.

  • A podcast interview and promotional visibility as part of the agreed project scope.

Ask about the next project, availability, current price and full deliverables. Paper Crowns Volume 3 is a published collection; enquiries explore a future project and do not reserve a place.

Give your nonfiction book a clear beginning.
