"Take the Mystery (& Work) Out of Independent & Self-publishing!"

From blank page to best-selling author (and all steps in between), 

FastForward Publishing can help you reach your goals faster.

• Do you have an idea for a book but don’t know how to take the next step? We can help you develop your idea into a book. 
• If your book is already written, we can edit it, design a cover, and get it published and available at major book retailers like Amazon, Kobo, and Barnes & Noble. 
• If you are already published, we can help you improve sales, increase income and reach best-seller status.  

Book Structure

Whether it’s fiction or nonfiction, your book needs a beginning, a middle, and an end. Your responsibility, starting on page one, is guide your reader through your book so they can be transformed by what you want them to learn (serious, informative, entertaining, frivolous, funny, sad, enlightening, whatever) by the

time they finish the book.

We’ll make sure you have all the tools, including an outline if necessary, to get you (and your readers) from where you are (where they are) to where you want to be (where you want them to be). 

Editing

Basically, good editing ensures that your written message matches what you were trying to say. You’ve put a lot of time and

effort into crafting your book, but it’s not ready for the public until it has been fine-tuned and polished.

This is often a difficult process for the author who feels ready to publish; don’t worry, we’ll help you get through the 

editing process, so  you and your book will be ready for success.

Formatting

If your books are not formatted correctly, if they do not look pleasing to the reader and are not easy to read, they are likely to be returned. There’s a good chance the buyer will leave a negative review as well.

We’ll get it right and that will positively impact your sales and your reputation. Besides your time is valuable ... spend it writing, not trying to figure out all the technical details.

Book Covers

Good cover design can get your book the attention and interest you need to attract readers. And, once your book is purchased,

that good design can enhance the reader’s experience.

We'll make sure you have the right cover for your book. You’ve spent a lot of time writing and editing, you deserve a well thought-out and professional cover design.

Sales/Promotion

Although new self-publishing technologies like Kindle have opened up exciting opportunities for authors, just making your book available isn’t enough.

We’ll help you develop and execute a marketing plan that will get the action you want and need for your book. From press releases to social media promotion to author platform building, we can help you generate income and get your book the audience it deserves.

Ghost Writing

Maybe you have a great idea for a book and, even though you have the intellectual capabilities, you might not have the time or motivation to actually write the book. Writing a quality book is a specialized skill and maybe you feel that a ghostwriter would deliver a better product than you would on your own.

If the time is not right for you to write any parts or even all of your book, we can help you do the heavy lifting in producing a well-written manuscript.

     1. You have to write. You just don’t feel complete until you get your thoughts out on paper or into the computer. You have a story to tell. Making money is not the ultimate goal of your writing.

     2. You see writing as a profession with a big upside. You envision yourself as a best-selling author or Pulitzer Prize winner. You want to write something that the world will notice. You plan to make money from your writing.

     3. You are a combination of 1 & 2. Part of the reason you write is to feel complete and part of the reason is to make money. Deep down you might have dreams of best-sellers, but you realize that those dreams are long-shots and you would settle for getting your work published and noticed on a less grand level.  

No matter which kind of writer you are, 

we look forward to helping you reach your goals.

As an author/potential author, you understand that:

     1. A quality book can position you and/or solidify your position as an expert in your chosen field.

     2. Writing can teach you things you didn’t know about yourself. Whether it be personal discovery from delving into specific subject matter or about how you take on and deal with a project such as writing a book.

     3. Writing can generate a passive income stream for you. Once your book is written, made available (e.g., on Amazon) and  promoted, every sale generates income, in perpetuity, with little or no additional work from you.

There are many benefits you will enjoy when you write a book, we will help you every step of the way to become a successful author and realize those benefits.
