Prepublication

Preparation of your manuscript for successful publication


Your manuscript has been beta read, edited, and proofread.  You're ready to publish, right?  Not so fast!
 It's a common misperception that self-publishing is easier because you don't have to gain the attention of capricious publishers.  However, you still must contend with a far more capricious creature: the reader.

Your self-published book will do battle daily with hundreds of thousands of scrappy competitors.  You need to bring your A game to get noticed and entice potential readers to buy your book.

That's where I come in.  I can help self-publishers with every aspect of self-publishing, including formatting, keyword selection, blurb writing, and pricing, to position your book for success.
