Marketing Services for Authors
Writing a book is not easy, and selling your book is maybe even harder! You are an author right? Why do I have to do marketing? Well the answer is that if you want people to read your book, you must do marketing. If you choose to publish with us, under a hybird publishing deal, we put a full marketing plan in place for you. If you have chosen to self-publish, we also offer our marketing services to you.
"I started out as a novelist with two traditional publishing deals. I then got a 'hybrid' publishing deal (shared risk co-publishing) and made four times more money from those same books. I then got involved in agency deals around the world, as far afield as China, the USA, South America and Vietnam - activities I could never have imagined as an author at the outset. Most writers make basic errors in turning their talent and passion into success. I am here to help you avoid the tripwires and build the future you desire for yourself."
Author Mythology
Your book is ready. Your author identity may not be.
Before a literary agent reads your manuscript, they search your name. Before a reader buys your book, they look you up. Author Mythology is DreamEngine's process for building the complete author identity that makes both take you seriously.

Publishing with DreamEngine
DreamEngine Publishing offers two routes to professional publication: hybrid publishing for authors who want to retain their rights and receive higher royalties than a traditional deal allows, and traditional publishing for authors whose manuscript and platform meet our selection criteria. For a complete overview of all routes, read our guide to book publishing. Both routes begin with the Author Mythology process, which builds your complete author identity before your book reaches the market.
For authors building that platform, DreamEngine offers social media management for authors and author website design, both developed from a complete author identity brief. Manuscript development is available through our story consultancy with Dr. David Baboulene PhD. For authors already published, our book marketing service supports promotional campaigns and reader engagement.
Navigating the Publishing Landscape
Before you submit or publish, it helps to understand the options clearly. Our guides to what is hybrid publishing, what is traditional publishing, and what is self-publishing explain the real differences in investment, rights, and royalties. If you are approaching agents or publishers, read why literary agents search your name before they read your manuscript.
For authors at the production and marketing stage, our posts on professional book editing, book cover design, professional book design, and how to optimise your Amazon KDP book listing provide practical guidance. To build your author platform, read our posts on social media for authors, websites for authors, and book publicity.
