Our Specialities:
Luxury Tourism; Luxury Caribbean; Cookbooks,
Marine Foundations, along with Learning & Development and Human Resources.
We focus our business and services on the luxury tourism industry, working with hotels, resorts and up-scale restaurants to feature historical-story telling books as well as wonderful interactive cookbooks, showcasing your talented culinary team and their offerings.
In servicing the tourism industry as a whole, we offer expertise in featuring the best of an island, a city, a destination. Our speciality is luxury Caribbean, embracing our life-long love affair with the Region and its wonderful people.
We also focus on the "Paleo" and “Ketogenic” Lifestyle, wishing to help spread the word (through wonderful interactive digital books and/or eBooks and PDFs) about this tremendously healthy and healing lifestyle. (If your culinary talents include non-Paleo/Keto type offerings, we like to recommend including a 'Gluten-free' or 'Paleo-friendly' version as well, expanding your audience through choices.)
What We Can Do For You:
Below are just a taste of the materials that we can make, all created and published with the intention of bringing your property, your talented team, your destination, your education and research, to the very mobile iTunes member world, in an engaging and interactive way.
Digital Cookbooks
E.g., Books for a restaurant or hotel, featuring your Chef and team; Paleo/Keto Lifestyle & Cookbooks.
Recipes and valuable interactive extras to make it an interactive digital book, and you can turn your story-telling materials into a marketing showcase to share your destination or property with the world, by sharing your engaging digital book on Apple Books, around the world. Additionally, you may wish to expand that creative piece from the digital world to a printed version to share in your lobby and restaurants, via a traditional printed hard cover edition.
Informative and Historical Books:
Digital books that can share your property or island's history through storytelling; enticing your guests and future guests to learn more about your past and present.
Pre-training and pre-event Books:
Whether you are luxury resort offering a "cooking with our Chef" series, or an international cooking school, we can create interactive pre-training or pre-event cookbooks giving your future guests and students advanced preparation in learning about your food specialities and processes ahead of attending classes.
Another great feature is that they are a fraction of the cost of developing 'apps', with the added benefit that a book tells a story, all in one exciting place, "eBooks" via the iPad and Macs! It is changing the publishing world as well as eLearning; it's all very exciting.
The beauty of these interactive digital books is that they are a great way to share your product, talent or knowledge with the world, and we are thrilled to be on the leading edge of this wave.
Please be certain to go to Apple Books, then search "Sharon Creelman" (the “Seller” for Black Sand Digital in Apple’s searching system) for examples of our publications.
By creating books "Made for Apple Books" we are able to offer interactivity within your book, as this indicates that video, audio, interactivity, maps, graphics, etc., taking your reader beyond the more standard eBooks which do not require the more advanced version.
