Our Publishing Services
We’re an Independent and Hybrid Publisher, with a uniquely vibrant, highly engaged author community. Together, we open pathways between authors and with readers enabling unique ideas to form and perspectives to spread.
At Ripples Media, we provide the hands-on support you need via a range of services, including:
Hybrid Collaborative Publishing
As a Hybrid publisher, we partner with you to collaborate on and develop your book via a joint-subsidized investment model. This includes editing, design, production, marketing, and distribution of paperback, hardback, and eBook formats (as desired). Best for first-time and emerging writers who are looking for a community-driven publishing experience and desire support along their journey.
Traditional Publishing
Typically reserved for established authors, we offer a model where the author does not pay for developmental fees. Our traditional and hybrid models offer the same levels of support and collaboration. The Ripples team will determine if this option is best, or if a Hybrid Collaborative Option is a better fit.
Developmental Editing & Writing Coaching
In addition to the core editorial functions (copyediting and proofreading), our consultative team works with authors to help frame, shape, and refine your manuscript, as needed. You maintain creative control, but with expert guidance to set your book up for the best success. Additional support is available here depending on the level of support needed.
Author Community
As you write and launch your book, our author community is there to provide encouragement, accountability, and support along the way—because they've been in the same spot.
Custom Book Design
Includes a collaborative process to reach a custom cover design that captures the spirit of your book. As well as interior layout, typesetting, design, and full file production for both print and eBook formats to bring your manuscript to life.
Marketing & Launch Support
We work in partnership with authors to tap into and expand their networks and build their author platforms. Together, we’ll merge traditional book launch tactics with digital and influencer tactics to set your book’s launch and promotion up for success, all centered around the author’s objectives.
Distribution
Book titles get a mix of traditional online reach and access to bookstore and retailer channels, through distribution partners like Ingram and Amazon.
