What is publishing?

While the word publishing technically refers to the process of taking written pieces and making them available for others to experience in various formats (i.e., physical print, digital print, and audiobooks), it has long been used to describe an all-encompassing process that can include the writing itself, editing, typesetting, marketing, etc.

With this in mind, publishing companies can vary in the types of services they offer; thus, it's important when choosing a publisher that you're aware of what is and is not included.

The Strategy

At Birch and Ink, our service selection is quite robust; we offer everything from writing to marketing your work of art. The process can include as much or as little as you need.

The culmination of all of the hard work — the late hours, the research, the brainstorming, the writing, the revisions — leads to the finally-the-time-has-come-moment when potential readers are introduced to your book.
