Author Services
We offer a wide variety of author services and marketing plans. Each service is designed to assist an indie-author in becoming self-reliant by choosing which service they need most. We help develop a strong web presence and landing page/subscription registration and design. In addition, we help with cover re-sizing for difficult manuscript retailer uploads, and provide quotes for non-fiction editing as well as Print-on-Demand manuscript conversion and formatting for error-free retailer uploads. Customers will receive PDF and EPUB, depending on their specific requests.
We offer streamlined and competitive algorithm optimized book descriptions, category and key word analyses, and three levels of manuscript uploading to a variety of book retailers.
These services are payable in advance of service, and customers will receive an email from authors@stormviewmountain.com that allows them to include all the information, files, and communications necessary to complete their order. Customers are alerted to look in their SPAM folders for inadvertently delivered web-mail, that’s out of our control.
While our Literary Advisors complete the service orders in a timely manner, some projects take longer than others. Advisors will communicate the order status on a weekly basis. The confirmation emails list the contact information, in case of any concerns.
Marketing Plans
Building an author’s platform, staging a book launch, developing an advertising budget or rolling out an ad campaign is a lengthy and thought provoking endeavor. Currently, we have three Marketing Plans offered which help guide independent authors through the process. They are available in 2025 only to members of the Stormview Writer’s Guild. In 2026, we will roll out these highly individualized programs to a general audience of independent authors.
WebInars, Events and Live Stream Broadcasts
These offerings will be available to the general public as they become available. On-line tickets or registrations will be made available with a refundable cost, if requested within 36 hours of air time.
REMEDY
If the purchaser of any service believes the results are not-satisfactory, they will be able to respond to the service production email, sent by their Literary Advisor, reporting any changes or concerns they may have about the quality of the service.
We have endeavored to represent these services to the best of our ability, yet there may be inherent expectations which require closer examination with respect to what was actually offered. We work closely with our customers to achieve maximum satisfaction. We ask that you petition authors@stormviewmountain,com with any concerns or quality related disputes.
