Hi Michael,
Congratulations on writing a book!
First, I recommend hiring a professional editor if you don’t have one already. I had three from different editors for my first book.Second, hire a book formatting expert that will format your book for print and kindle versions.
Third, hire a graphic artist who will do the book cover design. It’s nice to have two artists submit their concept in a photographic image for you to decide which one resonates for you.
Fourth, hire an editor who will do the cover copy. This is the most important advertisement for your book because the potential buyer will read it and make their decision based on what it says. Perhaps the editor that edited your book would be willing to do this, of course you will want to pay them for their work.
Find out from the book formatting person if you need to purchase the barcode yourself or they will do it for you.
Please contact me directly for further details.
Books written with transcripts are the most difficult ones to edit. So be prepared to be patient and you’ll be re-reading your manuscript (galley proof) many times.
