Publishing Packages

Publishing Options

Our packages offer various combinations of our publishing, editorial, and marketing services for a truly customized publishing experience. With Omni, you can choose the package that best suits your literary goals.

Evaluation Services

One of the key features that makes an Omni book distinct from other self-published books is our professional editorial evaluation. The evaluation is included in certain publishing packages and is available to purchase separately as well.

"With the various points to examine and adjust in mind, I re-read This Golden Land and made changes along the way. These were excellent points, by the way, and very helpful to me for cleaning up the manuscript."

-Barbara Wood, author of This Golden Land

Services include Developmental Editing, Book Doctoring, Ghostwriting, and Ghostwriting Estimate and Sample.

Author Editorial Services

While all of our Editorial Services aim to assist authors, this category of services takes an extra step, providing professional guidance to authors during the crucial revision stage following a core editorial service. Services include a Quality Review and an Editorial Assistant as an add-on to all of our Core and Advanced Editorial Services. Plus, Researching is available to those authors who need help gathering facts, such as for historical works or memoirs. For more information on Author Assistance Editorial Services, refer to the following form, which is used to provide additional information for the Editorial Assistant before work can begin on your manuscript: Editorial Assistant Form (.doc, 93KB)

Cover Copy Polish

With Omni Cover Copy Polish, ideas you provide allow us to create intriguing copy that can help you clinch the sale.

Proofreading

Our proofreading and revisions services can help save you from embarrassment and costly corrections after publication.

Formats

Through digital and print-on-demand (POD) technology, we can offer our authors these distinct formats for their books.

AudioBook Publishing

Through audiobooks, stories are shared in a convenient way. Let your words unfold in your readers’ imagination through Omni audiobook publishing. Lift your story from its pages and let your readers listen to it.

Print Formats

Our team will work with you—incorporating your photos, graphics, sketches, and ideas—to create a professional book cover that beautifully represents your book's contents.

Black-and-White Illustrations

Elevate your book to the next creative level with custom artwork produced in our in-house art studio. The Omni team of seasoned studio artists will work with you to produce striking black-and-white illustrations that add visual interest to your book’s content.

Color Illustrations

One of Omni's talented studio artists will use your descriptions and feedback to create custom color illustrations that reflect your book’s unique style.

Cover Design

The cover is the first opportunity you have to connect with potential readers. That's why at Omni we make sure that your cover will meet the professional standards for commercially successful books. After all, when a book is sitting on the shelf, potential readers don't look to see how a book is published. They only know whether the cover image draws their attention or the back cover copy makes them to want to read more. These elements make a great cover, and that is why we pay attention to these details when we are publishing your book.

Interior Page Layout

Careful planning and execution of the layout of your book is very important. Readers need to be able to easily follow the text of your book. Our professionals will help you create the best layout for your book.

Stock Images

All books published via the Omni standard publishing packages receive custom-designed covers, produced in full color. Within the realm of this custom-designed cover, you have the option to choose two images, free of charge, from the millions found through Getty Images.

Production Services

Omni allows you to make changes to your book after the manuscript has been laid out by our designers. Charges will be applied.

Preparing your manuscript for submission and for publishing is a whole lot easier when we do it for you. Omni can convert your typewritten manuscript, or previously published book, to a word-processed format.

Resubmission-item-section
