January is a time when many authors take concrete steps toward publishing goals they’ve been planning for months. With renewed focus and motivation at the start of the year, timely publishing opportunities can help authors turn intention into action.
To support authors during this productive window, a special January publishing promotion is being offered on Ultimate Self-Publishing Packages, combining meaningful savings with an added creative bonus.
Why Late January Is a Strategic Time to Publish
As the new year settles into rhythm, late January offers a focused moment for authors to commit to publishing decisions. Holiday distractions have passed, and authors are better positioned to plan, prepare, and launch with purpose.
Taking advantage of a limited-time promotion during this period can help authors start the year with momentum and clarity.
Details of the January 19–31 Publishing Promotion
From January 19 through January 31, Ultimate Self-Publishing Packages are available at 20% off. In addition to the discounted package, authors who take advantage of this promotion receive a complimentary book video.
This offer is designed to add value while helping authors invest in a comprehensive publishing solution.
What the Ultimate Self-Publishing Package Includes
The Ultimate Self-Publishing Package is designed to provide authors with a guided, professional publishing experience. It typically includes core services such as editing, cover design, formatting, distribution, and marketing support.
By bundling essential services into a single package, authors benefit from a streamlined path from manuscript to marketplace.
The Value of a Book Video for Marketing
Book videos are an increasingly effective way to capture attention and communicate a book’s message quickly. A professionally produced video can be used across multiple platforms, including social media, websites, and email campaigns.
Including a book video as part of this promotion helps authors enhance visibility and engagement as they introduce their book to readers.
Who This Promotion Is Best Suited For
This January promotion is well suited for authors with a completed or near-complete manuscript who are ready to publish. It is especially valuable for writers who want both professional publishing support and marketing assets to support launch and promotion.
With a defined promotional window, the offer encourages timely decision-making and early-year progress.
Starting the Year With Confidence and Visibility
Publishing success often begins with the right foundation. Combining a discounted Ultimate Self-Publishing Package with a complimentary book video allows authors to begin the year with both structure and promotional support.
For authors ready to move forward between January 19 and 31, this limited-time promotion offers a practical opportunity to start the publishing journey with confidence.
