THE ANTHOLOGY PEOPLE SERVICES
creating compelling collective books
CUSTOM BOOK CREATION
We help organizational clients create powerful anthologies in three ways. Depending on your location and needs, we’ll work with you in person, by video chat, or some combination of the two. We’re accessible when you have questions or concerns throughout the process, and you benefit from our proprietary written materials that illuminate central issues.
We’re happy to provide a customized quote once we speak with you. Of course, there’s no obligation whatsoever to work with us if what we propose doesn’t fit your needs.
Contact us at 910.528.6642 or use our Contact Form to get in touch. We look forward to hearing from you.
RAW MATERIALS REVIEW. Do you have a group of stories, interviews, social media posts, images, or other content that might make a powerful book? Our review of your materials will identify key opportunities and challenges as well as effective next steps forward. Fees for our Raw Materials Review service begin at $1,500.00.
GUIDED ANTHOLOGY CREATION. Ideal for organizations that have writers and editors on staff, this service allows us to help you at four key points in the anthology creation process.
1.
Our work with you begins at the planning stage, when our process helps you determine what we call the “Crucial Quintet”: the most powerful focus and themes, contributor group, readership, book format, and publication strategy for your book. We also use our book and publication expertise and experience to help break the process into steps, craft a rough schedule, identify staff and other resources, and troubleshoot potential challenges in advance.

Reviewing the materials received, we brainstorm final book structure, gaps and issues that may need addressing, the transition to book production and printing, and the beginning of marketing outreach.

Fees for our Guided Anthology Creation service begin at $12,750.00.
COMPREHENSIVE ANTHOLOGY CREATION. When you retain our comprehensive custom anthology creation services, we handle all aspects of the work from initial planning right through book production and printing; an anthology marketing unit can also be added to your package to give your outreach and promotion plans the benefit of our specialized expertise. While we gain and use your input and guidance every step of the way, this “turnkey” service is ideal for organizations without the staff size or expertise to do the hands-on work of anthology creation alone. Fees for our Comprehensive Anthology Creation service begin at $20,000.00.
