Background
A Chicago based writer approached Taletel with a half finished manuscript about hidden stories from old neighborhoods. She had research, interviews, and chapter notes, but the book felt scattered. She wanted a clean structure, strong readability, and a publishing route that did not take her creative control away.
Solution
We assigned Taletel’s editorial team to build a solid chapter flow. They shaped her research into short and clear chapters that kept readers engaged.
Taletel’s designers created a clean layout, added city themed illustrations, and prepared both print and digital formats.
Our marketing team built page level keywords, improved retail descriptions, and planned a release cycle that matched Chicago’s reading community.
Results
The book reached 3,800 sales in the first four months.
Three Chicago libraries picked it for their community reading shelves.
Local bloggers praised the book for its simple tone and smooth structure.
