Our authors love this service where we pull the most eye-catching teasers from your book for use in promotional materials.
You’ll share your manuscript with us via Google Doc and we will highlight all of the wonderful quotes you’ve created that we think would ensnare a reader and work for teasers, snippets, and promotional graphics. That way, you can reference the context of the quote. We’ll also copy them into another doc, formatted and spaced for easy access whenever you need them.
