Self-Publishing
We’ll help you take your manuscript to print
You’ve written your manuscript and you don’t want to go with a traditional publisher, now what?
The world of self-publishing is growing rapidly as many authors are choosing to forgo traditional publishers and do it themselves. But “self-publishing” is a complex process and there is a right and a wrong way to do it. We’ve worked with many authors to get their books published. We provide a suite of services to bring your manuscript to print: copyediting, cover design, interior formatting, and self-publishing platform set-up. We can even help you create an audiobook.

What We Do For You…
Cover Design
They say you can’t judge a book by it’s cover, but that’s only partially true. Your cover is usually the first element of your book that people will come into contact with, so it’s crucial that your design is clear, compelling, and fits your target audience. We work with you to create a beautiful cover that both reflects your book and appeals to readers, incorporating all the best practices that make covers pop.
Layout Design
One of the most overlooked aspects of self-publishing is the interior layout. This is essentially how your words will look on the page and includes elements like the font, the chapter titles, the spacing between sections, and the headers. We’ll work with you to create a beautiful layout that brings your words to life on the page. We’ll make a version that works for print and another that looks great on all types of e-reading devices.
Self-Publishing
There are many different platforms you can use to publish the various versions of your book. There are pros and cons for each of them, depending on your publishing goals. We’ll work with you to find the right platforms for your book and set you up for publication in a way that maximizes your distribution, revenue, and quality.
Audiobooks
Audiobooks are quickly becoming the most common way people engage with books, allowing them “read” in the car, on a walk, or while they’re cooking dinner. By creating an audiobook, you’ll expand your market of potential readers. We can help you both create and publish your audiobook. You can narrate it yourself or we’ll find a good narrator for you.

Case Study:
(Step)Mom: A Dual Memoir
