Nuevo Books
New Book Publishing Service Available
The New Mexico Book Co-op was founded to provide book-publishing support for local authors and publishers. Its sole mission has been to help authors and publishers showcase their books. The Co-op has organized dozens of events —book fairs, special displays, special marketing efforts in local media, and even a catalog of local books for stores and libraries—over the past six years to further that goal. That is probably why the membership has grown from about 20 in 2004 to over 1,000 today.
The most often heard request for publishing support has been help in actually getting a book published. There are many companies out there that offer self-publishing services. There are a few POD companies that are good. But some companies are just not providing the support that many local authors and publishers need—good quality publishing services at an affordable price. One thing that has been learned by New Mexico Book Co-op members is that there are lots of people in our state that can help. That’s why a co-operative works.
BOOK CO-OP OFFERS ENHANCED PUBLISHING SERVICES
An Independent Publishing Services Program
The New Mexico Book Co-op offers a “self-publishing” services initiative built on the same model that has made the Co-op successful—quality that anyone can afford. The Nuevo Books program provides authors with a wide range of independent publishing support options from basic copyediting and file preparation services, to more substantial developmental editing and indexing. While the author independently chooses a print or e-book vendor to manufacture the finished book, Nuevo Books handles the editorial tasks that will get a manuscript ready for final publication. Sometimes that additional bit of professional polishing will make the difference between a book that gets attention in the marketplace and one that struggles to engage an audience. HOW IT WORKS Nuevo Books can help produce your next book! For a fee of $1,200, Nuevo Books will copyedit, typeset, design a basic cover, and prepare all the digital files to manufacture your book. Once set-up and approved at a vendor of your choice, you may order any quantity of books that you can take to stores, libraries, and events. In addition to this Basic Services Package, you can add other services as wanted or needed. For example, Nuevo Books can have your book professionally proofread or indexed. Other services might include preparation of press releases targeted to booksellers, libraries, news media, and book reviewers. Any of these options beyond the “basic” services described below would be negotiated separately between the author and Nuevo Books.
