Publishing Setup & Optimization

A complete check of your publishing setup.

This service reviews the full publishing setup around a book — platform accounts, listings, metadata, formatting, and distribution settings — and corrects gaps or errors across all of it. It's useful when several pieces need attention rather than one isolated fix.

Authors turn to this either before a launch, to make sure everything is right from the start, or after publishing, when something isn't performing and it's unclear which part of the setup is the cause.

What we can do

• Full account and listing review

  A review of your publishing accounts and live listings across platforms.

• Metadata and category audit

  Checking keywords, categories, and descriptions for accuracy and effectiveness.

• Format and file checks

  Confirming ebook and print files meet current platform requirements.

• Distribution settings review

  Checking pricing, territory, and distribution settings across platforms.

• Prioritized fix list

  A clear list of issues found and recommended fixes.

Useful if you're

• An author preparing to launch and wanting everything checked first
• A writer whose book isn't performing and needs a setup review
• An author managing listings across several platforms
• A writer inheriting or taking over an existing publishing setup

Why Phoenix

We look at your book as a whole, not one task in isolation. The same team can connect publishing setup & optimization with the editing, publishing, marketing or media work around it, so each piece supports the next. We explain what we recommend and why, agree the scope with you before starting, and never promise sales, rankings, coverage or reviews.
