Writing the manuscript is a major accomplishment. Publishing it well is another challenge entirely.
Massachusetts authors searching for a professional book publisher need a team that understands both sides of that equation.
Seacoast Press works with authors throughout Massachusetts, New England, and the United States to professionally edit, design, publish, distribute, and market books across a wide variety of genres.
Our headquarters are located just north of Massachusetts in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, giving New England authors access to a regional publishing company with nationwide capabilities.
What Should You Expect From a Book Publisher?
A publisher should do more than turn a Word document into a paperback.
Professional publishing involves a series of decisions that directly affect how readers, retailers, reviewers, and the media perceive a book.
Editing should improve the manuscript without losing the author’s voice.
The cover should communicate the genre and appeal to the intended audience.
The interior should be clean and professionally formatted.
Distribution should make the book accessible to readers.
Marketing should create opportunities for discovery.
Seacoast Press brings these pieces together through a structured publishing process.
Professional Publishing Services
Depending on the publishing program selected, authors can receive services including:
Professional editing, custom book cover design, interior formatting, ebook production, worldwide distribution, publicity, digital advertising, and book marketing.
Authors retain their rights and can receive 100% of their royalties.
This structure gives writers more control over their publishing careers while still providing the benefit of an experienced team.
Publishing Books Beyond Massachusetts
A Massachusetts address should not limit the reach of your book.
Titles can be distributed through major retailers including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, Target.com, Walmart.com, and other outlets.
That allows writers throughout Boston, Cambridge, Worcester, Springfield, the North Shore, South Shore, Cape Cod, Western Massachusetts, and the rest of the state to publish with a nearby New England company while reaching a national readership.
Book Marketing and Author Visibility
Many authors discover that publication itself is only the beginning.
Readers need to hear about the book.
Seacoast Press offers marketing opportunities that can include Amazon bestseller campaigns, publicity, online advertising, social media promotion, and media coverage through NBC, CBS, and FOX affiliate websites.
These campaigns can help authors build credibility and give their books additional exposure in a crowded marketplace.
Find the Right Publishing Path
There is no single publishing model that is right for every author.
That is why our process begins with a conversation.
If your manuscript is complete, a publishing consultation allows you to discuss your book, understand the services available, and determine whether Seacoast Press is the right publisher for your project.
