The publishing industry is notoriously mysterious, old-school, and full of gatekeepers along with a cookie-cutter approach. But we at Talk+Tell are changing that.
Talk+Tell is a self-publisher that concentrates on the complete production process of an author’s book while also promoting the entire author brand, not just one book.
We focus on the big picture, from editing to branding to marketing and PR. Our book strategies create multiple income streams for authors, extending beyond single book sales within the publishing industry. We go further by building our authors bigger long-term sales for all of their current and future books, services, and products. Plus, our authors retain 100% of all the profits.
Where our authors go beyond the promotion of just one book and instead have a brand that gives them the freedom to keep gaining new sales for all of their creative ideas and services. As a full-service self-publisher, we work together to create a foundation that streamlines the selling process for all their upcoming books and products. The result? Increased profits and a loyal audience that adores our authors.
Crafting Your Brand Narrative: We collaborate with authors to develop compelling brand stories that resonate with their audience, establishing a distinctive and memorable brand identity.
Most publishing agencies will expect the author to figure out how to build their brand along with the book marketing and PR on their own. This mindset has trained authors to not incorporate PR and marketing into their book production, which is the biggest mistake an author could make.
At Talk+Tell, we’re a self-publisher helping authors with every single step of the book editing, production, branding, marketing, and PR process. Think of us as a partner. We have a deep love for all the authors we work with and believe that their books deserve to be read.
