A La Carte Author Services
Writing takes no less than all of your heart, talent, and biggest dreams. It can be therapeutic, impactful, exhilarating, and at times, extremely isolating. Entourage was created because we believe every author deserves a Vincent-Chase level entourage at their side, helping them bring their stories to life.
We’re a book author services company that provides all the services a book requires, offered à la carte or as a full package. From editing and design to marketing and publishing, we work with authors who want a passionate, professional team that believes in their vision as fiercely as they do.
With Entourage, you get a backstage pass to a small but mighty crew of book lovers, wordsmiths, techies, screenwriters, NYT bestselling ghostwriters, illustrators, and marketers who are all-in on your dream.

Ghostwriting takes your vision and rough notes [and notes from our interviews with you] and turns it into a fully developed book that is ready for publication.
From notebooks filled with your thoughts and ideas to a fully finished, professional book.
Our Ghostwriters are experienced in writing bestsellers, including NYT bestsellers. Ghostwriting can take 3 to 12+ months, depending on the project. Availability is extremely limited.

Books as a Business
Entrepreneurs who write non-fiction knowledge-share titles do so to build a brand, establish authority, and of course, to help more people at one time than they otherwise could in person.
By sharing their expertise, their contact list grows, as does their client list.
Books literally put the author's zone of genius in writing. It shares their "why" in their own voice, and paints a picture of what any client could expect from working with them.
I had the absolute pleasure of working with Jennifer for my first publication, Our Yellow Brick Road. I was extremely apprehensive about the editing process, as the book told my very personal story and I was nervous that my voice would be removed. However, it turned out to be a brilliant experience with Jennifer! Her suggestions were offered with respect and care, and I was both relieved and ecstatic to see that she managed to bring out even more of my voice in the process. Jennifer is a true gem who I can't wait to work with again!

Design
To send a message
When you see an inexpensive or DIY book design, you know it. It sends a message. All publishing contracts include interior page and cover design done by professionals who know how critical it is to your book’s brand and messaging to get it right. Font choices, spacing, consistency, headers, footers, index formatting, character and paragraph styling, photo placement, and editing… If it sounds like a lot of work, you’re not wrong. But when you have a team of book nerds, writers, editors, and designers, you can take refuge in a smoother, faster process. and a book you can be proud of.
Tech Support
To make it happen
When you find someone who is good at writing AND at tech, you keep them forever. And so we have. From meta tags to pre-press set-up, tech mistakes can ruin your launch. Whereas good tech, helps your book lands in stores and on bookshelves across North America. For magazine producers, we can help you gain a distributor and placements within book and grocery stores.
Marketing
To launch, sell, & create a profit plan
Launch teams, beta readers, mailing lists, publication day events, lead funnels, book sales, and profit that exceeds what you’ve put into your project: that’s the goal, right? Writing a book can generate revenue in many ways. For some authors, revenue comes from corporate book sales. For others, it’s bookstore sales, and for many, it’s a combination of all of the above plus an increased business revenue (such as from coaching programs and programs) that changes their lives, brand, and reputation. The fun part is deciding what sounds best to you and creating a map from here to there. Your job is to write something that makes a difference in the world. Our job is, well, everything else!
Jennifer, thank you for the late nights of tag-teaming edits with me and for your word-wizardry and technical knowledge.
