“It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to.”

Publish
You finished the manuscript.
Now what?
Oooooo, we love that question!
Here are our suggested next steps as you begin this final phase of your book adventure.
First, there’s choosing the publishing pathway that is best for you.
Once you’ve done that, it’s time to get yourself educated and empowered to collaborate effectively with whichever team you choose.
We’ve created the Publishing Portal Program to get new and seasoned authors ready to move through the production and launch phase with more agency and ease.

"Working with Saved By Story publishers made the entire journey through the publishing process so much easier. From the beginning, when I wrote the first words to my book, I could envision the summit—me holding my book in my hand, seeing it in bookshops, giving book talks. But the pathway from inspiration to publication was so much more difficult than I could have imagined. Through all the pitfalls and heavy challenges, Amanda and her team were there to hold my hand, explain that everything I was going through was a normal part of the process and, most importantly, continually remind me that there was a summit and I was going to reach it. Authorship can be a lonely journey, yet SBS provides an entire community of authors who feel like a supportive family throughout the process. A benefit that cannot be praised enough!
I absolutely could not have finished the book without the SBS team. They were friendly, supportive, professional, and knew when I needed a push or a hug. Each step of the publication process was explained in detail, and they were always on time and gave me all the attention I needed, making me feel like I was their only client.
I’m already working on my next book and wouldn’t consider going anywhere else for my publishing journey because I know, even when things seem really hard, they will be there for me to help me through."
“I was Saved By Story's first international author, but I did not have a single hesitation in signing up with them. I had already been working with the team on my manuscript, and from everything I had experienced with them, I knew the level of integrity, support, guidance, and honesty I could expect on this journey. And it has been all that and more. As a publisher, they care deeply about getting your message out into the world and they spare no effort in doing so. For me, working with a heart-centered team is much more valuable than working with a big structure. If that resonates for you, look no further. You may very well have just found your publisher!”
“I never dreamed I would actually author a number one bestseller. But alas! Here I am, and so I did, thanks to my own perseverance and the solid dedication of the Saved By Story team, who picked me up when I tripped and carried me over the finish line to celebrate our victory.
By the time we got there, I had a newly branded website, more diverse services established in my clinical practice, a bigger and clearer message, increased opportunity for revenue and impact, and a new business plan that lit a fire in my belly.
The A-Team helped me accomplish what would not have been possible on my own. Each member with their own distinctive and valuable talents that blend together to create an effective and efficient well-oiled machine to get the job done. This team works in a way that is unique to each business and individual’s ideas and plan. They are relatable, accessible, and worth every cent.”
"Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is…” I love this scene between Yoda and Luke in The Empire Strikes Back because it speaks to knowing who you are and where your power comes from. It comes to mind when I think of the Saved By Story team.
SBS is a small but mighty team that you will quickly find is tapped into a positive, unstoppable energy of using story to amplify new ways of thinking aimed at making a powerful difference for humanity. I was impressed and immediately put at ease by the creative energy and partnership brought to my vision. I never felt like I was being asked to say something I didn’t want to say, and I was taken by the discipline with which the editorial team worked to maintain my vision while making sure the books were readable for my target audiences.
They have translated their knowledge of the publishing space and process into fulfillment structures and a talented team that made a huge difference in my ability to generate, organize, and refine my ideas into not one, but two, books to maximize and accelerate my impact. They provided sound strategic advice on pricing, positioning, and promotions. Their team helped me develop my first website and helped me engage my community in a crowdfunding campaign.
I strongly encourage new and existing authors who have a message that brings healing, new ways of thinking, and other ideas with the potential to benefit humanity to consider working with Saved By Story. It may sound cliché but it is true all the same... the process was a magical experience!"
"I would like to thank Saved By Story for their support in bringing my literary dreams to life. As a first-time author, navigating the complex world of publishing seemed daunting, but the team at Saved by Story made the entire process seamless and rewarding.
From the initial stages to the final touches, their team exhibited unparalleled professionalism and dedication. What sets Saved by Story apart is their commitment to nurturing authors and championing unique voices. They not only transformed my words into a beautifully-crafted book but also provided invaluable guidance that enriched the entire creative process.
It's a team at Saved by Story, and you are the quarterback. Their editors, designers, and support staff worked cohesively with me to ensure that every aspect of my book reflected my vision. I am grateful for the attention to detail and personalized care that went into each pass of the publishing process.
I recommend Saved by Story to any inspiring author looking for a publishing partner. They understand the intricacies of the industry, timelines, and deadlines and you will be in good hands each literary step of the way. They genuinely care about you, your vision, and the impact your well-crafted story can have on the world."

"My first book was self-published with me handling most aspects of the production. This experience was at my forefront while considering Saved by Story (SBS) for my second book.
Once hired, SBS led the entire book production, allowing me to enjoy the seamless process. I always knew what came next, and the results were stunning—a book I would have bought!
As someone who tried doing it all alone, I can attest to SBS' high value in completing your book launch."
"Choosing to work with the Saved By Story team was the best decision I made for my book project. Their expertise in navigating the complexities of publishing, from setting up publishing accounts to designing a compelling landing page and marketing plan, was invaluable. Their commitment to being available and responsive to my queries truly made them stand out. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a dedicated and knowledgeable publishing partner."
