About the author

I was born and raised in Rhode Island where I began my journey as a writer. I am now a third year student at the University of New Hampshire majoring in English as well as minoring in Education. I have a passion for writing and continuously explore different avenues to further my experience.
I completed an advanced fiction writing workshop in my sophomore year of college. I enjoyed the environment of a workshop and working together with fellow writers. Reading and writing are my main outlets and I would love to share my work to the world.

Sector 831

T​he Sectors were created as the ideal form of quarantine. Each Sector occupied by one family, prepared to live the rest of their lives in isolation. The government hoped to give the earth enough time to heal for the next generation to return to normalcy. Now, the next generation is here, but they were promised a lie.

Synopsis

Adira Vos has lived her entire life in quarantine. Her parent’s generation were the first to test out the idea of Sector’s – small, bubble-like isolation units that were built to house one family. The Sector System is supposed to give the earth time to heal from the damage of civilization. Adira’s generation was promised a world healed from pollution, but in her 20 years of life she has yet to see this new world with her own eyes. It is not until she meets a group of people who grew up outside of the Sector’s that her perception of the world is shattered completely.

Dear Author,

You worked hard to write your manuscript; finally, it's ready to release. You know that expert assistance is needed, but perhaps you didn’t realize that working with a publisher is no longer necessary—especially publishers who charge fees to produce your book upfront and "share" more of your revenue whenever a book is sold.

1106 Design is an author services company. We offer all the editorial and design services you’d expect from a publisher, transforming your manuscript into a market-ready book. But here's the difference: we help you secure print-on-demand printing and worldwide distribution in your name. This means you earn several dollars more for every book sold instead of a meager “royalty.”

We understand that your book is not just a passion project but also a potential source of income. That's why we offer a range of services tailored to your needs at affordable prices. Depending on your manuscript's word count and complexity, our packages range from $4,000 to $10,000. And here's the best part: after this one-time investment, every penny of net revenue from book sales goes directly to you, never to us.

If this sounds like a better way to publish your book, I invite you to browse our services, design samples, no-surprises pricing, outstanding customer reviews, and educational articles at https://1106design.com. You can download a free PDF of my book, "Publish Like the Pros: A Brief Guide to Quality Self-Publishing and an Insider's Look at a Misunderstood Industry," and request a free, no-obligation consultation.

1106 Design has been in business since 2001 and is rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau. We are a “Highly Recommended Expert” at IngramSpark.com and rated "Excellent" at Alli, The Alliance for Independent Authors, at SelfPublishingAdvice.org, where you can find a "watchdog list" of the best and worst publishing services companies.

How can we serve you today?

Sincerely,
Michele DeFilippo, owner

IngramSpark logo IngramSpark

Ingram is a rather large company with several different divisions and supplies books to bookstores and libraries in over 200 countries around the world. Ingram also has a print on demand digital printing company, Lightning Source. IngramSpark is the platform that combines those two services together. At IngramSpark, we work with authors and independent publishers to print their books for orders they need (no minimum order) and we have a way to list the books as available for sale to all of Ingram’s 39,000+ customers- distributors, bookstores, retail outlets, libraries, etc., so you never miss a sale. You would provide us with the print-ready digital files (one for the cover and one for the interior) and we print the books as they are sold through our distribution partner’s websites. We pay you for those sales approximately 90 days later. The compensation you earn is based on the retail price you set, minus the wholesale discount you offer our distribution partners, minus the print cost.
