You send a short enquiry with a synopsis. We read it and reply with an honest assessment.
An editor works through structure, language and detail with you, one round at a time.
We typeset the interior for print and ebook and design a cover for the book it wraps.
We prepare the files for the retailers you choose, with metadata that helps readers find the book.
