SERVICES
Unlike subsidy publishers who treat authors like
commodities and often use templates and/or in-house salaried editors and designers just beginning their careers, Mike Daniels' decades of experience and relationships developed in the book
manufacturing and publishing business provides his clients with multiple options for talented and seasoned designers, editors, illustrators and manufacturers to select from based on their book's
subject matter, targeted audience and the client's personal goals.
Also unlike most subsidy publishers, packagers, book shepherds and consultants, Mike does not require a contract, minimum amount of time or dollar value for his services to be engaged. He uses specific criteria to determine if he can be of assistance and value to a prospective client. Billing is based on a low hourly rate and billed by the quarter hour for time expended for any and all services directly or indirectly rendered to the client.
