The simple way to share your message with a broader market

Intended for the professional individual or organization seeking to publish a book for direct sales or promotional purposes, the Professional Package includes a custom full-color cover design and the services of our Legacy Isle team to polish your prose and produce a high-quality softcover finished product with a classic interior design—as well as the tools to help you sell it. Ideal for business advice books, corporate histories and memoirs or fundraiser cookbooks.

You should consider the Professional Package if…

…you are an author looking to self-publish and would like more personal service than an online printer provides. Legacy Isle is a local company with real staff on hand to guide your work through the process. An editor, not a software program, will read your manuscript and will give you feedback on clarity and style. Our designers will create a custom cover you can be proud of; your book will look clean, polished and professional.

…you plan to make this book available for sale to the general public and have no previous experience in trade publishing. The Professional Package includes materials, guidelines and helpful tips to aid you in promoting and selling your own book. Be sure to visit our Knowledge Base for more advice.

…you are committed to promoting and selling your book. There’s no certain formula for predicting a runaway bestseller, but no one gets to the top of the list without being willing to put in the time and effort to pursue leads. The  Professional Package is an investment, and should be considered carefully, particularly if you are adding on our Distribution Services upgrade.

…you are a business person or company looking to share your expertise with your clients or potential clients.  A book is an excellent calling card that can help you promote your business. The Professional Package provides services to help you produce a book you can be proud of, whether you give it away as a premium item or offer it in a retail environment.

What’s included in the standard package…
