Publishing

Writing a book may be slow, but it is always possible—built word by word. With that perspective, you can weave writing into the time you have available, without worrying about whether it’s “enough.” Treat it as an appointment with your own ambition: schedule it, mark it on your calendar, and honor it.

Many renowned authors began with short stories rather than full novels because their time was limited—sometimes writing only in brief fragments between daily responsibilities. The key is to use the time you do have. If you wait for the “perfect moment,” you may never begin. Start small, but start now. The only real regret comes from waiting too long to begin.

Publishers regularly hold acquisition meetings where new manuscripts are presented and discussed. People from across the publishing team – editorial, sales, marketing, and publicity – come together to give input. This allows us to look at each project from every angle: the quality of the writing, the potential readership, the timing, and the commercial viability.

Editors bring manuscripts forward and share their passion for a project. They look at the author’s voice, the originality of the idea, how it fits into the current market, and what gap it might fill. They also outline a vision for how the book could be published – from format and price to positioning and audience.

The sales team evaluates the book’s commercial potential. They consider current trends, retail opportunities, and the best way to reach readers. Their forecasts balance ambition with realism, helping to ensure that each book is set up for measurable success.

Publicity looks at how a book might capture media attention: through interviews, features, timely topics, or the author’s own story. Marketing considers how to reach the target audience effectively, whether through social media campaigns, events, partnerships, or more traditional advertising. Together, they help shape a strategy to create excitement and visibility for the book.

Ultimately, the decision to acquire a book is a collective one. We weigh the creative passion with practical considerations: market fit, timing, workload, and financial investment. When all these elements align, we move forward with confidence, knowing we can give the book – and its author – the platform they deserve.

At Galilee Publishing, this process is more than just evaluation. It is a commitment: to nurture stories we believe in and to bring them to readers in a way that is impactful, sustainable, and full of purpose.

Books shouldn’t, of course, be judged by their cover, but no one can deny that the way a book looks can influence our feelings about it.

Designing a jacket for a book is not a simple matter of moving around some images and typing the author’s name and book title across the top. Rather, it involves meticulous research of everything from typefaces to patterns for wallpaper or clothing from a certain era, and sometimes multiple iterations of a cover before it is finalized.

Your story deserves to be experienced in every possible way. At Galilee Publishing, we offer a variety of publishing formats to bring your book to life and reach the widest possible audience:

Brilliant books deserve to be read – but even the best stories benefit from a strong marketing and publicity campaign. At Galilee Publishing, we see campaigning as the bridge between your manuscript and your readers.

A book campaign always begins with the book itself, but it does not stop there. Together we identify the right audience and explore all the ways to reach them. This involves close collaboration between editorial, sales, marketing, and publicity, ensuring that your book is positioned in the right place in the market.

Publicity is about earned attention – reviews, interviews, press coverage, podcasts, or partnerships that create authentic buzz around your book. Marketing, on the other hand, involves paid visibility, from social media campaigns to advertising in targeted spaces. Both play a vital role, and when combined effectively, they amplify each other.

Every book requires a tailored approach. For some, this may mean connecting with literary editors or niche online communities; for others, it may involve building an author’s profile, creating striking visuals, or partnering with organizations that resonate with the message of the book. The goal is always the same: to connect your story with readers who will love it.

At Galilee Publishing, our passion lies in crafting campaigns full of creativity, strategy, and care – ensuring that your book finds its way into the world with impact and authenticity.
