Your next chapter deserves your attention. Let us take care of the newsletters, reader connections, and publishing details.
A clear scope. A personal approach. More room to write.
A focused set of services for the tasks that keep pulling you away from your manuscript.
You write to your readers.
We handle the send in Kit.
A smoother path from
new reader to subscriber.
A clean, edited manuscript.
Publication-ready ebook and print files.
All prices are in Canadian dollars, before applicable taxes.
Software subscriptions, editing, cover design, retailer uploads, and additional revisions are separate.
Newsletter care uses your supplied copy and an existing, working Kit account and template. Monthly care begins after any required setup is complete. Other email platforms are considered after a setup review.
Setup projects use your supplied text, book files, and artwork. Clean-manuscript formatting assumes consistent chapter headings and paragraph styles; repairing inconsistent source formatting, text changes, or complex layouts is separately quoted.
Your written quote confirms the final scope and price.
Start with one task or one book.
We’ll work out the rest together.
Share your project, the tools you use, and any deadline. An email is enough to get started.
We confirm the deliverables, price, timing, and access needed before you commit.
You approve the work before anything is scheduled or published. We hand over the files and practical next steps.
Indie publishing gives you control. It also gives you a long list of jobs that have very little to do with writing your next book.
Cask & Sabre is a publishing consultancy focused on those practical details: preparing your files, keeping your newsletter moving, and connecting readers with your books.
Our experience comes from supporting Stories Rule Press, a family-run publishing business. That practical foundation shapes our approach to newsletters, reader magnets, and book formatting. Kit is our primary email platform.
Choose the help you need now. Keep ownership of your work and your accounts. Build from there.
No. You can start with a first release, a first reader magnet, or an existing backlist. Tell us where you are and we’ll confirm which service fits.
Kit is our specialty for newsletters and reader-magnet email integrations. If you use another email platform, we review your setup before confirming scope, price, and timing. For reader-magnet projects, we also check BookFunnel compatibility before quoting. Any necessary subscriptions remain in your name and are paid separately.
These packages cover publishing production and administration. They do not include ghostwriting, developmental editing, copyediting, cover design, or paid advertising. The formatting package starts with a clean, edited manuscript with consistent chapter and paragraph styles. If the source file needs formatting cleanup first, we quote that separately.
For developmental editing, copyediting, or proofreading, visit SRP Editor and contact them directly to discuss your manuscript.
No. You retain ownership and approve the work. Where available, we use an invited collaborator account with only the access needed. We agree on access arrangements before work begins; never send passwords through this form.
Monthly care covers up to four sends using your copy and an existing Kit account and template. If you need an account or template set up first, we quote that separately. Monthly care starts once the setup is complete.
Yes. Reader-magnet setup and book formatting are individual projects. Newsletter care is monthly, with no annual commitment; notice and billing arrangements are confirmed in your quote.
Illustrated books, multiple pen names, complex automations, platform migrations, and larger manuscripts need a separate quote. We agree on any additional work and its cost before starting.
Tell us a little about your book and the help you need. We’ll reply by email to discuss scope, availability, and next steps.
No obligation. No need to have it all figured out.
