Your author website becomes your digital headquarters. It consolidates your brand, books, media kit, bio, events, and future releases, making you discoverable and credible from day one.
Audiobooks dramatically expand your audience. They also unlock new revenue streams and reach listeners who prefer audio content, giving your story a broader and more professional footprint.
A full year of professional management ensures consistent content, branding, engagement, and audience growth. It removes the guesswork and keeps your platform active without draining your time.
Video is one of the strongest marketing tools available. A cinematic trailer boosts ads, social engagement, and overall visibility by giving readers an immediate emotional connection to your story.
You will receive four strategically timed campaigns targeting your ideal readers across major digital platforms. building reach, sustaining momentum, and supporting long-term discoverability. Our advertising team will work with you on ad creative and strategy so that you will be fully prepared to sustain the moment created during the launch.
Because the Legacy process involves full-scale production and marketing support, timelines range from eight to twelve months depending on manuscript readiness, formatting needs, and media production schedules.
Many first-time authors don’t have the full amount upfront. We offer flexible payment options so you can begin the process without delaying your publishing goals. If you’re committed to finishing your book, we’ll work with you to find a manageable structure.
Yes. As with all ColePress packages, you retain full ownership of your work and brand while we handle production, distribution, and marketing.

The Legacy Package establishes your brand, expands your reach, and gives you long-term momentum from your very first launch. Even if you plan on writing only one book… if you’d like it to be a bestseller, your best bet is the Legacy Package.
What legacy will you build?
Build a lasting presence with comprehensive production, platform development,
and advanced marketing support. all designed to elevate your book, strengthen your brand,
