Provoco self publishing service
Want to go it alone, but you don’t have the time? If this is you, Provoco has the solution you’re looking for! Write your book, send us your manuscript and we’ll proofread, edit, design the cover, format your book, and distribute it using your own imprint!
Our prices start from £1350, and the great news is that in using this service, you keep 100% of your royalties, once the printing and distribution costs have been deducted. You don’t pay us anything else! So, if you want to do nothing else except write, and retain your independence as an author, this is the service for you!
Manuscript critique
An experienced author, or editor, will assess your work and provide a full, written analysis covering plot, characterisation, structure, coherence, consistency, dialogue and organisation. Quite often, we find authors get so involved in the storyline, they can miss vital errors. It’s important to have your work assessed to know that your manuscript meets the standard expected out in the query world!
Publicity
Surprisingly, books don’t sell themselves, no matter how good they are. That’s why opting for one of our publicity packages can help raise your profile and that of your book. Nothing can guarantee sales, but publicity is the difference between a successful book and one that is still on the shelves in the bookstore.
Cover design
They say, ‘never judge a book by its cover’, but when buying books, one of the first things that appeals to readers is just that – a good cover! However, we realise authors aren’t designers (although we do have one who is!) and therefore, it makes sense to have a professional designer to create your book cover. Make your book stand out from the crowd with a cover designed by Provoco!
Editing
Good editing is vital for writers. It’s sad that many opt not to pay for a professional editor, and this is reflected in a finished publication containing errors. Our editing service will ensure your work is not let down by a semi-colon, or by grammatical mistakes.
Proofreading
Proofreading is another vital element of preparing your book for sale. Proofreaders will examine your work for plot holes, continuity errors, fifteen-month pregnancies and dead people appearing in chapter 10, when they were murdered in chapter 5. Combined with a line by line edit, this service is highly recommended.
