Frequently Asked Questions
Any question you may have about Manana are answered below.
What kind of publishing support do you offer?
We offer end-to-end consulting for both self-publishing and traditional publishing. This includes manuscript review, editorial guidance, publishing strategy, ISBN registration, distribution options, cover design input, and marketing advice.
Do I need a finished manuscript to start working with you?
Not at all. I work with clients at all stages—whether you"re brainstorming your book idea, halfway through writing, or polishing a final draft. We tailor the process to suit your goals and timeline.
Can you help me get my book published traditionally?
Yes. I guide you through the traditional publishing process, including how to prepare a professional book proposal, pitch to literary agents or publishers, and understand contract terms and rights.
What if I want to self-publish instead?
Self-publishing is a great option for many authors. I help you navigate platforms like Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, and others—advising on formatting, pricing, distribution, and marketing to ensure your book is professionally launched.
Do you assist with marketing and promoting my book?
Yes. I offer strategies to help you build your author brand, launch your book, and reach the right readers. This includes social media guidance, promotional planning, and identifying PR or influencer opportunities.
Is this service only for authors?
Not at all. I also work with professionals, entrepreneurs, and organizations looking to publish thought leadership content, reports, or custom publications. If you have something worth sharing, I can help you shape and publish it.
