In addition, we have expanded our services to help our publishing clients even more. VMC Art & Design now offers developmental editing, beta reading, book planning, and virtual marketing assistance.
We have expertise in publishing, online website development, and print design. We have read and provided feedback on authors' manuscripts to help improve the reader experience. We have taken authors’ manuscripts and transformed them into final printed books that can be distributed and promoted. We then provide the authors with the ability to create a platform for their books through websites, blogs, social media, and printed materials.
In addition to working within the publishing industry, we have worked with small businesses in the reinforcement of their brand. Whether it is creating new identities or working with them to build upon their existing brand, we have helped them to develop their look in both print and on the web.
