Author Services
Brandywine River Publication’s author services provides comprehensive help for authors, including writing coaching, publishing consulting, book marketing, proofreading and book design and printing.
Bruce E. Mowday, President of Brandywine River Publishing, has authored more than a dozen books, including The Selling of an Author, a guide to increasing book sales. Mowday’s books have totaled more than a half million dollars in sales. He has helped numerous other writers to find publishers and become self-published.
Author consultations: Brandywine River Publishing will review your writing project and advise on publishing options. Topics to be covered include finding an agent, finding a publisher and the pros and cons of self-publishing, vanity publishing and internet publishing. Manuscripts will not be reviewed as part of this service.
A one-hour initial consultation fee $150.
Additional sessions, if needed, are billed at $150 per hour.
Customized and personalized marketing: Each book is different and needs a customized marketing plan. Sending out hundreds of press releases to disinterested media outlets isn’t a marketing plan. Writers need to connect with their targeted audience.
