How We Support Writers
Welcome to Winn Publications, where we are dedicated to empowering indie authors to share their unique stories and perspectives with the world. Our services include editing referrals, professional book design, branding & marketing, teaching and training, and of course publishing in the way writers desire; self-publishing, hybrid publishing, and traditional publishing!
To help authors navigate their publishing journey, we have created an author journey road map that outlines what’s possible for writers.
Editorial
We work with professional editors who offer copy editing, developmental editing, and proofreading services. Turnaround time for these services can range from 1 to 3 months depending on the editor’s availability. The pricing is based on the word count and is up to the editor.
Design
We collaborate with professional graphic designers for book cover design, and we handle interior typesetting in-house. We also work with third-party illustrators. Book cover design is included in the publishing pricing, but authors can choose to purchase typesetting as a standalone service starting at $75 USD with a turnaround time between 24 to 72 hours.
Publishing
We offer a range of options, including print, ebooks, and audiobooks, to ensure that our authors can share their stories in the format that best suits their needs. Whether you’re looking to publish a physical book, an electronic version, or an audiobook, we’ve got you covered. What makes Winn Publications different is we publish in the way that the authors desire by offer self-publishing, hybrid publishing (the best of both self-publishing and traditional publishing), and traditional publishing deals for writers who win book-writing contests. Payment plans for self-publishing and hybrid publishing start at $450 a month. Turnaround time is up to the author and ranges from 3 to 8 months.
Distribution
We use print-on-demand services such as Ingram Sparks and short offset printing, and we ship books ordered from our website using Amazon. Distribution is included in the publishing package, but self-publishing authors can choose to distribute their book using W.E. Bookstore Online.
Branding & Marketing
We create custom branding and marketing guides for each author, run marketing campaigns, create press releases, media kits, and discussion questions for book clubs. These services are included in the publishing packages, but branding and marketing guides can be purchased separately for self-publishing authors.
Author Resources
You can also find author-themed merchandise, coaching, and indie author training. Self-publishing authors can purchase these resources separately, and discounts are given to authors who publish with Winn Publications. Training is included in the publishing packages.
Partnering with Independent Authors
What sets us apart from competitors is our commitment to our core values of empowerment, inclusivity, integrity, innovation, collaboration, and impact. We strive to create a publishing community that is inclusive, diverse, and welcoming to all people. Our mission is to empower authors and readers from all walks of life by providing a platform to share diverse perspectives and stories. We work with independent authors who share our passion for creating meaningful and impactful content, and we’re dedicated to helping them share their messages of hope and resilience with the world.
