Author Services
As well as our publishing packages, we offer a host of services to authors who have decided that indie publishing is the way to go.
Writer Mentoring
Need inspiration, a nudge to get to the end of your novel, stuck with the structure of your characters, characters not behaving, baffled by point of view…? We love sitting down over a cuppa, chatting about books and what you need to get you running back to your computer feeling full of energy and enthusiasm to get on with your book.
£25/hour.
Manuscript read through
Finished your novel and need an honest, thorough beta read? We print off your manuscript and read it as a reader would, but with an eye for detail that comes from years of publishing experience. We mark up your manuscript with suggestions and then go through them with you. We’re very honest with our feedback but we understand how much you’ve put into your book so we’re nice too, and we firmly believe that if a book has the care and attention it needs, it will find an audience that loves it.
£5.50/1000 words.
Proofreading
If you are indie publishing your book but would like an extra pair of eyes to check over your work before you go for it, we’re happy to proofread as a stand-alone service. We proofread a printed off copy of your book and annotate corrections and suggestions.
£5.50/1000 words.
Cover design
Professional graphic design by a designer who will take the time to find out what you want for your book cover, and work with you to make sure that you’re delighted with the result. We include eBook covers to Kindle specification, high res print-ready spreads with front, spine and back plus advice on your back cover blurb.
