Exclusive Author Concierge Service

When you order a Strategic Roadmap, what will you receive? While each Strategic Roadmap is customized to the specific requirements of the particular project, goals and target audiences, each may include the following:

• Discovery Call with our Creative Director and Chief Revenue Officer. During this 45-60 minute meeting, we will have a deep-dive discussion that goes into the intricate details of your project. This will serve as the foundation for developing your personalized roadmap.
• Book Positioning and Competitive Landscape Assessment: We will conduct a strategic analysis to identify your book's genre, target audience, and comparable titles. The resulting positioning and competitive analysis will inform decisions about voice, design, and marketing strategies that will help your book stand out in a crowded marketplace.
• Manuscript evaluation and editorial recommendations: Whether you already have a manuscript or are still in the concept or outline stages, our experts will offer insightful evaluations and recommendations to enhance your work.
• Ghostwriting recommendations: If it is determined that using a ghostwriter is the best strategy for your project, we will provide expert guidance in selecting a writing partner and a potential cost estimate for this service.
• Editorial development recommendations: For manuscripts that are in need of editorial refinement, we will provide expert recommendations and pricing to prepare your project for the production stage.
• Book design recommendations: You should judge a book by its cover! An eye-catching and engaging book cover is the way to attract attention and develop interest in your title. The Strategic Roadmap will provide specifics and pricing for your book's design, based on a competitive analysis for your publishing segment, target audience, and sales goals.
• Concept Production Schedule: We will provide you with a meticulously crafted production schedule that aligns with your project's specific needs.
• Distribution and Sales: We can provide a suggested book publication date, author pages, social media setup, and microsite development

Within 3 weeks of your Discovery Call, we will deliver your project's Strategic Roadmap. Each phase and service in the roadmap will be outlined in detail, based on your project's particular needs. You can explore handling the phases in your roadmap independently, or entrust your project to Westchester to professionally manage it for you.

When selecting Westchester to execute each stage of your project, we will bring together an exclusive team of experts specific to the content needs and subject matter of your material. From the initial consultation to ghost-writing, design, editorial & production, and more, each step of your literary journey will receive unparalleled support.
