...And Guess What?
You're Next!
Karen Bouchard here.
Over the past several weeks, I've been doing something REALLY exciting and I just have to share it with you.
For most of the month of September, Mike Klassen, the rest of the Illumify team, and I have been working hard uploading soon-to-be-released Illumify titles to the Midpoint Trade website and catalog. (As you probably know, Midpoint Trade is the book distributor that
sells our books into bookstores).
Our covers are so BEAUTIFUL, and our books look so GREAT in the catalog, that I just had to show you the stunning results!
But before I do that, let me say I’m not showing you these catalog pages to brag about Illumify (well, maybe just a little).
I do, however, want to brag on our amazing authors who have worked so hard to write excellent books. Illumify has TWENTY books in the Spring 2019 Midpoint Catalog, and we are so proud of each and every author, and so blessed to be a part of their publishing journey.
But more than anything else, I want to show you these catalog pages to encourage you.
Take a look at these catalog pages belonging to three of our authors (and then come right back to this email, because after that I want to talk about you and your future book):
Armadron: The Otherworld Series Book I by Corey Tate
Spirit Baby: Travels
Through China on the Long Road to Motherhood by Nina Neilson Little
The Girl Who Walked in the Shadow of the King:
Finding God in the Journey by Shelly Busby
Here's my point:
Every one of these
authors, a few months ago, had a manuscript, or maybe just an idea for a great book. Now each one has:
- a fabulous book cover
- sell copy
- marketing plans
- their very own catalog page
- a company showing that catalog to bookstores
- bookstore buyers who will have a chance to stock their books
- plus very soon (if not already), a professionally produced and published book
And I want you to look at these pages and know that it's possible for you, too.
As you look at the pages, go ahead and envision the coming launch of your book.
Working with our authors—helping them finally
bring to fruition the publishing dreams they've been nurturing for a long time (sometimes for years!)—is one of the most rewarding things I've ever done.
And if Mike or I can get your book ...
- into the next Midpoint catalog (or the one after
that)
- on bookstore shelves
- positioned for success online
- and ultimately in the hands of happy readers
... we would consider it a privilege and an honor.
If you are entertaining even an inkling of a thought of releasing a book in the last half of 2019 or the first half of 2020, we are working on books for those catalogs now, so we should at least be talking. I'd love to answer any questions you have.
Clicking on this link will take you straight to my calendar and you can schedule a time for us to talk. You can also shoot me an email at

Here's to your publishing dreams coming true!
