SERVICES
Utilizing our knowledge of personal branding and influencer marketing, goFirestarter focuses on book publishing to expand the reach of change makers. We provide both individual services and a soup-to-nuts program that includes concepting, ghostwriting, editing, distribution, and promotion.
Book Concepting
Have an idea but don’t know where to take it? We collaboratively explore angles that will appeal to readers and publishers, as well as differentiate your book from others already on the market. We work with you to ignite your vision, personal brand, and objectives by asking probing questions and then exploring creative options.
Book Proposals
Want to get a deal with a traditional publisher? We can help you with the fine art to book proposal writing. Proposals include a compelling overview, promotional section, competitive analysis, author profile, chapter outlines and descriptions, and sample chapters. Writing a great book proposal serves as a roadmap to your book and provides clarity and focus.
Ghostwriting
Lacking the time, skill, or desire to write a book? We are expert ghostwriters who will completely write your book in collaboration with you. We specialize in capturing your voice so well that you will believe you wrote it all yourself. If your manuscript is accepted by a publisher, we work with their editor and you on any necessary revisions. If you choose to go the self-publishing route, we will deliver a manuscript that stands heads and shoulders above other self-published books.
Editing
Have a manuscript already? We have three levels of editing available to our authors. Content editing is a deep dive that looks at issues such as what’s missing, what’s too much, what’s not clear, and more. Line editing helps fix transitions, sentence structure, grammar, attribution and other issues. Proofreading prepares you manuscript for publishing by making sure grammar and spelling are perfect.
Leveraging AI
Interested in exploring ChatGPT? We can help you learn how to effectively use AI to generate book content ideas, outline your story, and capture your voice to even help you write a book. Useful prompts can completely change the landscape of your writing journey and increase your productivity and creativity. We work with writers to explore which prompts are best for your writing goals and teach you how to step into the world of AI with confidence.
Promotion
Need to get the word out? We can put together and implement a promotional plan that includes websites, social media, PR, email campaigns, and speaking engagements. We will work with you to make the most of your networks and maximize positive reviews. Our targeted marketing will put your book in front of those people most likely to purchase.
Publishing
Ready for publishing? We work with a literary agent to help pitch your book to get a contract with a traditional publisher. Our systematic outreach to publishers who may be interested in your book, along with persuasive cover letters and book proposals helps your odds of getting published. We will be realistic in our assessment of your chances and provide other options such as self-publishing and hybrid publishing. Our graphic team provides high quality cover designs and inside page formatting that assist with readability and marketing.
