Publishing Services


On a selective basis, McK Consulting Inc. (McK) through its publishing division offers to assist writers services to complete, edit, design and publish their work. Depending on the level of writing, the length of the work and the nature of the project - different fee structures apply.

Creating a book is a dynamic and life changing experience for most first-time authors. It is an exciting adventure filled with the thrills and terrors of a great suspense novel. It is part fantasy as you watch your ideas transform from words into a book. Writing a book creates a sense of achievement and permanence that only works of art, music and oratory can rival as the creative process produces something for others to experience.

The person contracting the project is the "author" while McK may have a variety of roles done within the company or sub-contracted to our service providers.

EDITING

McK can assist authors with a variety of levels of editing and proof-reading their manuscript. This can be done on an hourly, word count or a project rate.
 

COLLABORATION

We can assist you with review and discussions about your manuscript with suggestions and comments. This can be done on an hourly or a project rate.
 

GHOST WRITING

For those who need assistance in writing their book (ghost writing) - the cost of the writing service will be 50% up front and 50% on the delivery of our final draft. The final draft of the manuscript is normally planned to be completed in 90 days from authorization of the agreement. Extensions may be agreed upon in extraordinary circumstances but the final 50% of payment will be due no later than 90 days or when the final draft is presented - whichever comes first.

All ghost writing is done on a "best efforts" basis recognizing that in any creative process there can always be disagreements as to style and substance. Both the ghost writer and the author must agree in advance on a project plan that covers the character, the general length and the overall content of the book. The ghost writer is responsible to forward requests for information to continue the writing process. The author is responsible to supply responses within one week.

As the book is drafted, the ghost writer will forward these copies to the author for review and comment. The author will have one opportunity to make any and all comments in writing for final redraft by the ghost writer within one week. Once the manuscript is complete - the author may comment in writing about the structure of the chapters within two weeks of receiving the complete manuscript.

BOOK COVERS

Cover design services are available. In consultation with the cover designer, the author will present any ideas they have for colours, images or other details. The designer will provide up to three different design alternatives. The cover design process usually is completed within one month.

PUBLICATION

McK can assist individuals with elements of the publication process including obtaining an ISBN number and printing.

PROMOTION & DISTRIBUTION

If the author's work is included in one of our publishing divisions, it will be promoted and featured along with our other projects. Various promotional packages are available. No guarantee of sales or outside distribution channels can be made. We can also assist with distribution options for the author as well.
