Mercury Book Publishing is dedicated to eliminating the common ‘pain points’ that authors face, streamlining the publishing process so they can focus fully on their craft. From handling design and editing to marketing and financial planning, we take care of the details that often overwhelm self-published writers. Our mission is to give authors the freedom to concentrate on what they do best, creating captivating stories and compelling content while we handle the complexities of publishing and promotion. With Mercury Book Publishing, authors have a partner committed to their success, allowing them to bring their work to readers with confidence and ease.
Reaching the target audience is one of the most significant obstacles. Many self-published authors struggle with promoting their books effectively and often lack the resources or knowledge for successful marketing strategies.
High-quality cover design, interior layout, and formatting (both for print and eBooks) require specific skills or outsourcing, which can be costly and time-consuming.
Quality control in editing and proofreading is crucial, but finding professional editors who fit within a budget can be a hurdle. Many authors also need multiple editing rounds, which can add up in costs.
Many readers still view traditional publishing as a mark of quality, making it challenging for self-published authors to build a professional image and gain credibility in competitive genres. For example, when potential buyers encounter labels like ‘Independently Published’ or ‘CreateSpace’ while browsing Amazon, they may hesitate to purchase, often associating these labels with a possible lack of quality that does not meet their expectations. However, with Mercury Book Publishing, this perception is transformed. Our authors benefit from the backing of a legitimate publishing company, ensuring their work meets the highest standards and stands out in the marketplace. With us, you gain not just support, but also the credibility that comes from being part of a respected publishing house.
Self-publishing requires authors to juggle multiple roles, from writer and editor to marketer and accountant. This can be overwhelming, especially when balancing writing time with promotional and administrative tasks.
Although self-publishing is more accessible, there are still costs involved, from editing and design to advertising and distribution. Many authors are cautious about these expenses, unsure of the returns. At Mercury Book Publishing, you get the best of both worlds, the control of a self-published author with the backing of an established publishing house, working within a tailored budget you are comfortable with.
At Mercury Book Publishing, we believe in the power of partnership. Your success is our success, and it really is that straightforward. Together, we can achieve great things.
