Editing, ghost writing, printing, Amazon, Goodreads and all things publishing.
Agent-managed publishing with The Fedd Agency would provide you with comprehensive support throughout the entire publishing process. As an author, you would benefit from their industry expertise, as they handle everything from negotiating book deals with major publishers to securing the best possible advances and royalties.
The agency would also collaborate with you on manuscript development, offering feedback and ensuring your work is polished and market-ready. With over 100 New York Times bestsellers under their belt, they have extensive connections with top editors and publishing houses, which helps streamline the process.
Additionally, they manage marketing strategies, media appearances, and rights sales, allowing you to focus on your writing while they maximize your book's reach and success.
The Fedd Agency would be instrumental in helping you attract a traditional publisher like HarperCollins because of their strong industry relationships and proven track record with over 100 New York Times bestsellers. Their team knows exactly what traditional publishers are looking for and will guide you in refining your manuscript to meet those expectations. They will also present your work to the right editors at major houses, using their network and reputation to give your book the best possible chance of getting noticed.
However, securing a traditional book deal also requires more than just a great manuscript. Publishers like HarperCollins are increasingly focused on authors with a substantial platform—this means a strong social media presence, an existing fan base, or a high level of public visibility. Having a big platform demonstrates that you can bring a built-in audience to the book, reducing the publisher's marketing risk. The Fedd Agency will help you build and leverage your platform, giving you a competitive edge in the eyes of traditional publishers.
If you don't yet have a large platform or prefer to retain more control over your project, self-publishing with agent management could be a viable alternative. This route allows you to develop your brand while still benefiting from professional guidance, but it lacks the broad distribution and prestige that comes with a traditional deal. The Fedd will help you assess which path is right for you based on your goals, audience, and platform.
The Fedd Agency offers personalized consulting to help you develop a successful book strategy, ensuring your manuscript is not only compelling but also market-ready. During the consultation, we’ll work closely with you to understand your vision, audience, and goals, helping you shape the content, structure, and tone of your book for maximum impact. We’ll also provide expert guidance on crafting the perfect manuscript, offering feedback on pacing, clarity, and engagement to elevate your work to its highest potential.
When it comes to self-publishing, we can walk you through the entire process, from editing and design to marketing and distribution. Financially, self-publishing requires an upfront investment to cover professional services such as editing, cover design, formatting, and marketing. We’ll help you budget for these essentials and connect you with the right resources, whether it's print-on-demand services, ebook distribution, or promotional strategies to get your book in front of readers.
With The Fedd’s expertise, you’ll have the tools and guidance to produce a high-quality, marketable book and navigate the complexities of self-publishing effectively.
Pastor and author of Surrendered and Unafraid
"As an experienced writer and author, working with Fedd Books opened up the natural storytelling process for me. Their team unearthed the authentic truth-telling me that helped deliver my message through every line, metaphor, and story. From our first email exchange and signing the contract to the first deadline, I felt empowered, and that energy never left. I did not experience writer's block as the team just encouraged me to keep writing! Thank you, Esther and Fedd Books, for helping others bless the world!"
Coach, Business Owner, Philanthropist, and author of Bring the Joy
"I have a story to tell, but I'm a horrible writer. I had been wanting to write a book for over ten years but just could not make it happen. I was completely stuck and could not make any further progress. I got connected to the Fedd Agency and it was love at first meeting. I signed immediately and dove in. Because of the incredibly dedicated and talented team, they brought my book dreams to life. The process was fun, and they truly took my ideas to heart and breathed life into them. My book has sold thousands of copies and I couldn't be more thankful to write and publish a book with the Fedd Team and crush one of my life goals."
Founder & Director of The Neighborliness Center and author of Neighborliness
'The Fedd Books team guided me through every imaginable step of writing and publishing my first book, Neighborliness. Their editorial team helped me find my voice and sharpen the message that burns in my heart like fire. They would never let me settle for good because a great book was always the goal. I released Neighborliness in 2019, and the book received an unbelievable response. The message continues to spread even further after the book was picked up by Harper Collins and released worldwide in 2022. My experience with Fedd Books changed the trajectory of my writing career and helped me unlock dreams I didn't even know to dream."
Entrepreneur and author of You Can Do Hard Things
"I am so thankful for the Fedd Agency for bringing my dream of writing a book to life. Fedd Books made the process easy and seamless. They partnered with me and guided me every step of the way!"
Leadership Coach, Consultant, Speaker, and author of Next Level Leader
'Writing a book is extremely challenging, but Fedd Books makes it easy. The team helped walk me through everything from cover design to editing, and I can say without hesitation, my book is significantly better because of them. I couldn't be prouder of how it turned out, and I would recommend the Fedd team to any author who wants to publish a book you can be proud of."
