Ana Libri Press was established to publish
The Mystery Box, a trade book in three formats: hard cover, soft cover, and
pre-publication marketing edition. It also includes a content rich
companion website of the same name,
themysterybox.com.
My work on the book was
all-encompassing: project manager, designer, developmental and
substantive editor, indexer, production manager, and marcom writer.
Adobe PageMaker and Photoshop were used for book production and image
processing.
Key design elements required were hard and soft cover book
jackets; front matter, chapter, and back matter layouts; fonts, story transitions,
and
illustrations; and indexing.
A Microsoft Project schedule was used for the entire
process: design, production, marketing, and launch phases.
Bricks and mortar bookstore shelf space is critical to marketing and a
prize that
The Mystery Box book received from Barnes and Noble
early in the pre-publication cycle. Several marketing campaigns were
launched, including press releases, flyers, and author readings, for
which I produced all the materials. Please return at a later date to
view uploaded samples.
