The name really does say it all – NextGen Story: Custom Publishing.
The action part of identity is of course ‘Story’ – which is at the heart of every project we undertake. The birth of that story can come from many sources, originate from as many different starting points as there are the individuals who tell them. That story takes the form of a biography of someone in your family, or an autobiography of yourself. It can begin as a found family manuscript, located by mere accident lingering abandoned until happily rediscovered. It can even be born as a random thought, a personal memoir, a compilation of letters, social media postings, an intimate and personal cause or (what is most common) a new and original creative work. Whatever its genesis, story in any of its myriad forms is what the project is all about.
The second portion of our identity, and its single-minded focus is ‘NextGen’ – the Next Generation, the intended audience for the work being loving crafted. That audience is ultimately anyone who can relate, learn from or enjoy the final product. This can be friends or family members of the author. Readers could be (depending on the topic of the book) those who had shared similar experiences, or who were able to overcome similar challenges – and can now benefit by learning how others had managed those same trials.
In the case of a tome that deals with the history or happenings of a single family, its reading public would quite literally be the generations of that family yet unborn who, thanks to the existence of this book, will learn things about their ancestors that will amaze and entertain and, in some cases, shock them with their honesty and frankness. A catalog of feelings and sensations compiled from firsthand experiences can describe a time or a situation in personal ways that no dry, academic history book could hope to.
Finally, we are a custom publisher. Once you have the idea, have located or created the rough material, we have the skills and experience to take those seeds and turn them into a beautiful book that can be enjoyed for years. We can guide you through the complexities of the process, direct, inspire and encourage you each step of the way – to end with a polished, bound and professionally produced book tailored entirely to your needs and to that of your audience. Whether your book is an exclusive, Smythe-sewn bound coffee table book or an engaging paperback with broad appeal: we are here to support your journey.
NextGen Story: Custom Publishing is really about history, about preserving ideas and dreams and experiences in a format that will last well beyond the duration of its creator. A book is a gift to the future. It is portable, wireless and battery-free. A volume of personal recollections, a compendium of thoughts and hopes and a lifetime of experiences that can literally be enjoyed today, tomorrow and a thousand tomorrows after.
The first part, the hardest part is to start – and that’s where we come in. It can begin with a single email, and end with a written legacy that will be cherished and enjoyed for generations to come. Begin your literary journey today, our inbox is waiting - mali@nextgenstory.com
