Xavier House Consulting

The mission of Xavier House Consulting is to provide authors with cost effective solutions to their writing and marketing needs. Through the use of Xavier
House Consulting tools, authors will be better able to efficiently market their manuscripts and finished books to libraries, bookstores, the media, and the
book buying public. Following are the services which Xavier House Consulting makes available to authors *. Please feel free to email us with any
questions you may have.

After you (and your friends and family) have reviewed your manuscript, we will review it through the eyes of an editor and give you an honest professional
evaluation. We will work to identify your manuscript's strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for improvement. We will make specific suggestions
about your work which will enable you to craft your final piece for submission to publishers. We will also advise you on some of the best strategies you
can take to maximize your chances for success.

For your finished book we will craft book specific media materials-as well as emails-that you can use when contacting bookstores, the media, and
customers. The following is a list of products that you will get in this package.

A one page media pull sheet (Full Color PDF format) featuring your book's cover picture, synopsis, author bio, and ordering information.
A press release.
A customized email (with your book's specific information) that you can use when emailing members of the media, as well as bookstores.
A customized "cold calling" script that you can use when contacting bookstore and shop owners over the phone.

It is never too early for an author to have a web-site. Web-sites are a good way to tell others about your writing accomplishments and endeavors. Web-
sites also provide a good opportunity for publishers to get to know authors who are querying them. For published authors an author web-site is a
necessity. Xavier House Consulting will provide you with a clean, template based website, which will enable you to keep in contact with future publishing
contacts, as well as customers. The Xavier House Consulting Web-Site Design / Administration package is feature rich and includes:

A clean, well organized author website containing biographical information, contact methods, book links, and additional pertinent author information.
Free design and building of your site.
Your own unique ".com" address.
No third party ads will appear on your web-site.
All costs associated with hosting, domain name registration, etc. are included in the price.
Regular once monthly updates at no additional charge.
Full service administration of your web-site which leaves you with one less thing to worry about.

Perhaps you are not yet ready for our services, but you still have a burning question about the publishing industry. If you do, feel free to email us ant any
time. Quick answers to quick questions are always free! Email us at consulting@xavier-house.com to ask.

* Xavier House Consulting is set up as a completely independent entity from Xavier House Publishing. To avoid a potential conflict of interest, Xavier House Consulting cannot offer the above services to any author currently
under contract with Xavier House Publishing. Furthermore, these services are geared toward self-published authors, and authors of fiction, both markets in which Xavier House Publishing does not seek submissions. A
purchaser of any Xavier House Consulting service should be aware that it will in no way improve their chances of being published through Xavier House Publishing.
