Professional Author Services – Editing

All of our author services work hand in hand, from beginning the process of self-publishing to marketing your final product across the globe. Editing is the first critical step in producing a quality novel. All of the big names need and use editors – why should you be any different? Editing is affordable and essential for anyone who wants to sell books or increase book sales.

Completing the Look with Design

If you make the smart decision to self-publish, you are going to need a designer. You will need both a cover design and an interior layout. We have the software and skills to turn your ‘manuscript’ into a real book, worthy of the shelves of libraries and book stores across North America. What happens when your book is finally in print? You need a website designed to promote it, of course! Our author services can give you the book cover design, interior layout and website design you need to begin marketing your books.

Does Marketing Sound Like a Dirty Word?

Our author services don’t stop at editing and design – we stay with you all the way and help you design a marketing plan specifically geared toward authors wanting to increase their sales. Unless your name happens to be Stephen King, James Patterson or John Grisham, you need to market.  Every writer was new once.  After pouring your heart and soul into your novel, you need to get the word out.

Marketing is truly the scary part for most writers.  Our own staff of Independent Authors have self-published multiple novels, and we know the pain and confusion involved. Marketing also can be expensive – most marketing companies charge thousands of dollars to create an elaborate marketing scheme that makes your head spin, and which doesn’t always serve the unique needs of most authors. Marketing does not have to be that complicated or expensive! Why not take advantage of some free or low-cost ways to spread the word about your new novel? We know the ins and outs of marketing authors – we will show you how at a price that is affordable for writers.
