Direct Publishing Assistance
Some people don't want to learn the nuts and bolts... some of us just want to eat the hot dogs without having to grind the sausage!
For those people, I offer services where I do all the work and get your book publish-ready in a variety of formats (ebook, physical, audio) and then teach you how to use your self publishing account.
-typical services include securing editing, cover design, formatting, etc.
How to Sell More Books
Every website has a story, and your visitors want to hear yours. This space is a great opportunity to give a full background on who you are, what your team does and what your site has to offer. Double click on the text box to start editing your content and make sure to add all the relevant details you want site visitors to know.
If you’re a business, talk about how you started and share your professional journey. Explain your core values, your commitment to customers and how you stand out from the crowd. Add a photo, gallery or video for even more engagement.
