MANA PUBLISHING PLANS
There are eight major plans for publishing. Each aims at meeting the individual needs of our customers. There is flexibility. If there are some features that a customer just does not feel s/he needs, MarketingNewAuthors.com (MANA) is more than willing to customize a plan to the authorıs needs.
The publishing services included are: typing editing illustrations, if needed layout printing cover design, this involves one-three composite reviews, delivery of final product, and a two-color glossy or four-color glossy, if so desired extensive marketing services, including but not limited to: Internet, conferences, mail announcements distributing services warehousing of books registry with US Registry of Deeds copyright (if not already done) ISBN number Rationale: Yes, it is important that one gets the book published. However, what good is a published book if very few people know that it exists? Marketing helps people know about the existence of the work. And so, MANA wants to help those authors who have little marketing "savvy" but a lot of writing talent and limited resources to pay for an aggressive marketing, distribution, and warehousing package and the printing of the work, too. Plan 1 is developed for our customers in this position. Receive 250-500 copies, depending on length of manuscript. For more information about costs, etc., please contact: info@MarketingNewAuthors.com
The author can opt not to use any of MANA's marketing services. Timeline for book to be published: 6-14 weeks after authorıs approval of final galley proof Rationale: There are authors who have contacts and various means for advertising their publications. And so, many of the services offered in MANA's premium marketing plan #7 would be too much. MANA wants to fit into the plan of its customers, not have the customers fit with our plan. Receive 250-500 copies, depending on length of manuscript. For more information about costs, etc., please contact: info@MarketingNewAuthors.com
Timeline for book to be published: 4-6 weeks after author's approval of final galley proof Rationale: Most authors who consider this plan have a manuscript that they wish to publish quickly so to use in a conference or prepare for major publishing companies to review and, hopefully, adopt. Furthermore, they have little marketing support. This plan provides this author with quality workmanship, flexibility with a company, and aggressive marketing services until his/her work is adopted, if this is the ultimate goal. For more information about costs, etc., please contact: info@MarketingNewAuthors.com
Timeline for book to be published: 6-14 weeks after authorıs approval of final galley proof Rationale: There are authors who have a first-rate manuscript that deserves to be adopted by a major publishing company. Unfortunately, many companies will not take on the expense of a work that may appeal to a limited audience, i.e. children with autism, Deaf college students, or an anatomy review text. If they do not think there will be a large market, no matter the quality, they will not adopt the book. The expense is too great and does not compensate for all of the expenses these companies have, i.e., large staff, medical benefits, heating, air conditioning, etc, etc.. This is not the case with Robbie Dean Press. It is a small, independent full-service publishing company with the primary aim to publish works that are "Determined To Make A Difference." And so, this option is for our customers who want to be affiliated with a respected publishing company that will provide life-long aggressive marketing and distribution services without the author having long-term financial commitments. Receive 250-500 copies, depending on length of manuscript. For more information about costs, etc., please contact: info@MarketingNewAuthors.com 
The author has the option to choose the marketing plan that best fits his/her needs. However, this is an option; the author does not have to choose a marketing plan by MANA. If the author does choose a marketing plan by MANA, since the cost of this plan is most expensive, the initial fee of the marketing plan is 1/2 of the stated fee listed. Still, the monthly fee would be fifty dollars ($50 a month). The key factor for this plan is speed of delivery, total support of the author from the very "scrap of paper," to the finished product, if necessary, and flexibility of service. Timeline for book to be published: Between 6-8 weeks, depending on when the author submits manuscript and it is approved by reviewer for publication and the signing of the final galley proof by the author. Rationale: This plan is definitely for the author who needs a quick, professional turn around of his manuscript. Of course, a printing house can provide a very speedy result, but many of the printing houses do not provide detailed consultation and publishing clearing house results and timely delivery. And it is for these kinds of services that the price reflects what the author will receive. For more information about costs, etc., please contact: info@MarketingNewAuthors.com FOR AUTHORS WHO HAVE CONTACTED US, SEEKING OUR PUBLISHING AND MARKETING SERVICES IF YOUR BUDGET IS REAL TIGHT, THESE NEW PLANS MAY BE FOR YOU!
The author finds his/her own printer and artist for cover design. MANA prepares the typed manuscript to become "printer-ready." The following services are provided: Editing Proofreading Document layout COST: $2150.00 Rationale: Many authors do not have the funds for a full publishing package. Furthermore, most authors do not know of individuals who are capable of setting up the manuscript properly for a printer. Working with a well-intentioned friend, who is not a professional in the printing or publishing field, is not the path to follow. If the disk is not set up properly, most printers will charge the author for any "fix ups." This plan allows for the author to work on his/her timeline, working within his/her financial constraints, being assured that his/her disk will be professionally set up. Then, the author can work with a printer of his/her choice. MANA can make the document "printer-ready," and, then, at the authorıs timeline and financial capabilities, s/he can continue the project. TIMELINE: 3-6 weeks Payment plan: 2/3 at the signing of the contract 1/3 at the final approval of the disk
