PUBLISH WITH ELEVANA
You bring the story. We help shape the book.
A finished manuscript is one starting point. So is a remarkable life, hard-earned expertise or an idea you need help developing. We begin by understanding your purpose and your readers.
01
Story & editorial
Story planning, interview-led writing, manuscript development and editing, scoped around what your project needs.
02
Design & production
Cover design, page layout, photography or illustration direction, and files prepared for the agreed print or digital format.
03
Publishing & launch preparation
Support with book descriptions, publishing preparation and launch materials, with distribution options assessed for each title.
WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER
A publishing path that fits your project.
Some projects are commissioned. Others may suit a shared investment. We discuss the right approach after reviewing the story, audience and production needs.
PROJECT FEE
Publishing services
Commission Elevana for an agreed scope of editorial, design and production work. A project fee is agreed before work begins.
BY AGREEMENT
Shared investment
For suitable projects, we can discuss sharing production costs alongside an agreed share of book revenue.
SUBJECT TO REVIEW
Selected partnerships
We consider a limited number of proposals for a publishing partnership, based on editorial fit, reader appeal and a practical promotion plan.
Partnership proposals are assessed individually. Rights, costs, responsibilities, revenue calculations and reporting are agreed in writing before work starts. Sales and earnings are not guaranteed.
PERSONAL & LEGACY PUBLISHING
Some stories belong on the family bookshelf.
Celebrate a milestone, preserve a parent’s memories or tell the story behind a professional journey. We combine photographs, interviews, letters and thoughtful design to create something deeply personal.
Created for private sharing, a special occasion or a wider readership—with the format and audience agreed from the start.
FROM IDEA TO EDITION
A clear process. A considered result.
01 / DISCOVER
Tell us your idea
Share a short summary, who the book is for, what material you have and your preferred timeline.
02 / PLAN
Agree the direction
We review the project together, then define the scope, format, budget and way of working.
03 / MAKE
Create & prepare
Writing, design and proofing move through agreed review stages before the final files or edition are approved.
BEFORE WE BEGIN
A few useful answers
GETTING STARTED
Do I need a finished manuscript?
No. Tell us what you have: an idea, draft, photographs, recordings or an existing manuscript. We will discuss the support it needs.
PUBLISHING OPTIONS
Can you help with Amazon KDP?
We can discuss preparing a suitable book for Amazon KDP. Format, account setup, platform requirements and publishing responsibilities are reviewed for each project.
YOUR AUDIENCE
Can my book stay private?
Yes. Personal and commissioned publications can be planned for family, invited readers or organisational use rather than public sale.
LET’S CREATE SOMETHING WORTH KEEPING
What story are you ready to tell?
Tell us about your book, personal magazine or publishing proposal. Include a short summary, your intended readers and where you are in the process.
