We help authors, publishers and rights holders develop and market eBooks. We also consult with authors and businesses, helping them increase their online presence by using content marketing and social media to expand their platform and build addressable audiences.

eBook Development: We design eBooks and convert PDF, MS Word and InDesign files into Amazon Kindle, ePub and PDF eBooks using Adobe publishing tools and custom scripts. We also produce print-on-demand (POD) books using CreateSpace and ghostwrite technology-oriented content. Visit our gallery. |

eBook Marketing: We provide eBook launch support and distribute eBook files to Amazon, Apple, Barnes & Noble and Kobo. Book launch services include metadata development, reviews, press releases, handout development and leveraging Amazon author services. |

Online Presence Consulting: Following our three-part planning methodology of discovery, benchmarking and content analysis, we develop a plan that helps individuals and define and manage their online presence. This usually includes website development and optimization, social media coaching and a content publishing strategy. |

Sellbox Blog
Our blog focuses on three themes: eBook development, eBook marketing and online presence management. When writing about these themes we hold three core beliefs about the future of digital media and marketing.
- Quality will become ever more important.
- Managing your online presence–whether you are an author, executive, business or non-profit–is now a business and personal imperative requiring active management.
- We are all publishers and using content to promote our point of view is the new marketing paradigm.
