Once your book is published, you’ll have the opportunity to order as many author copies as you’d like at a special author discount, making it easy to share your story with more readers, gift it to schools, or sell it at events.
Your Book Featured Across Multiple Platforms
Your picture book will be featured not only in our Hope Books Store but also on our online platform and at our annual Hope Story Conference, giving it valuable exposure to a wider audience. This includes professional marketing support to ensure your book launch is impactful and far-reaching.
Marketing and Launch Support
In addition to creating your book, we help you plan and execute a launch campaign that gets your book noticed. From building your launch team to reaching early readers, we provide strategies and support to give your book the best chance for success.
