Just wanted to give a shout out to AIAP. They are a pretty cool company and cater to first time authors and repeat traditional authors who want to go out on their own. They have a wealth of experience and knowledge. They charge $65.00 per session and the fee is well worth the money.

You can have one session with them, or ongoing sessions with them even after your book is published. They are not in bed with any specific publishing firm and provide you with solid advice for you to make the best educational choice for your title.

They consult at any stage of the publishing process.

So, why is First Edition Design Publishing endorsing AIAP? The answer is relatively simple. It makes our job easier when the authors are more knowledgeable and expectations are clear and reasonable. Every publisher is different, and authors typically do not realize that. Different publishers specialize in different titles; therefore, we want the best for the author and their title.

Ahhhh so, what does First Edition Design Publishing specialize in? Over the years we really developed our religious and historical fiction genres. Our executive editor is a Doctor of Theology, that has helped drive the Christian/Judeo side of things. We also have a pretty comprehensive finance/investment library of titles.

We can publish just about anything; however, we may not be the best for titles that have a lot of photographs, or high-end interior design work with lots of color. We also cannot accept files that were done in InDesign. On the flip side, there are publishers that will only take InDesign files. However, we do have a great graphics department who handles cover layout and design. They do a great job.

Anywho – this post was not about First Edition Design Publishing, we just wanted to introduce you to a company we just found – AIAP – Aliance of Independent Authors. Check them out and we hope they can help.
