An eye-catching cover is then designed to showcase the genre and themes of your title If it contains illustrations, the necessary adjustments are made to ensure high quality illustrations are included bespoke to the themes of your book. A cover blurb that reflects the storyline of the book is written to be placed on the back cover, capturing the essence of the story. The book is also given an international book number (ISBN) officially registering the book in publication and making it widely accessible to book distributors and retailers. The manuscript is published into various formats according to the contract in paperback or eBook, such as Kindle and EPUB, or Audiobook format.

The Marketing strategy is ongoing and tailored to the timeline of the books release and continues afterward to frequently attain opportunities for brand awareness in the reading community.
