We want to make the publishing process as easy as possible for you. Therefore, we do not offer any editing services for your manuscript, book cover design or marketing. These services are not typically provided by self-publishing companies. Your final costs will depend on the choices you make. We hope you will make wise decisions and achieve the best possible results.
What You Will Need to Do
Editing – Please provide us with an edited version of your manuscript. It is important to take the editing process seriously, as grammatical errors can distract and confuse readers. This can ultimately undermine the story that you are trying to tell. To improve your work, we recommend using a good editor and grammar apps.
The Book Cover – Your book’s cover is just as important as the content inside. It is the first thing that catches the readers’ eye and influences their decision to read it or not. While it’s true that you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, in reality, many people do. Therefore, it is crucial to take the time to create a cover that not only looks great but also accurately represents your book’s genre, tone, and content.
Marketing – Marketing is often overlooked by new self-publishers, but it is actually a critical component of the process if you want to make money. It is highly recommended to have a marketing strategy in place to increase your chances of success. One option is to work with a marketing service to help you achieve your goals.
