will love: a variety of marketing opportunities, all the interior images you want,
and a concierge to support you in your publishing journey and more . The Pro package
has all the features of the previous packages and is for all-in authors looking to
jumpstart their professional writing and book careers.
Meet Your Publishing Concierge
Tackling the self-publishing process is hard and can sometimes get overwhelming.
That’s why included in the Pro Package, we offer a personal concierge to
assist you with anything you need throughout your journey. A professionally
knowledgeable, experienced publishing staff can offer you advice, answer your
questions, and make the self-publishing route a little less stressful and a lot more
exciting and positive.
Your Own Book Video
There is nothing more appealing and influencing than video marketing. Visually, a
video that’s short and to the point can impact an audience’s decision
within seconds. You’ll receive a book video, essentially a trailer for your
book, detailing the synopsis of your book that can sell itself to your target
audience. Can be digitally displayed on your author website, your social media
platforms, and anywhere you see fit.
Royalty Reward
Receive royalty rates that are higher than industry standard for each book sold while
controlling the price of the book.
“I’ve self-published 15 books over the past
ten years. To me, writing books it is like getting a tattoo—once you
get one you want another. Self-publishing has become my career and life, and
working with Vox Book Publishers has been a joy.”
- Victoria Howard of Kentucky Horse Park:
Paradise Found, and Junior and Elena: A (Horse) Love Story
