Self-publishing is allowing more people to become authors, whether they want to share a story, become a trusted authority in their field, or help people with a problem. In the traditional publishing model, the publisher edits, publishes a book in print or digital form, markets the book, and pays advances to the author. In return, the publisher takes the lion’s share of the author’s profits. A self-published author bears all of the costs of producing and marketing a book including editing, formatting, and cover art, but retains most of the profits. The main challenges with self-publishing are producing a well-edited and formatted book, and meeting the acceptance requirements of the major self-publishing platforms.This service provides professional style editing and formatting of your 20,000 words or less manuscript to prepare it to pass the quality control review of popular self-publishing platforms such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble. In addition, this service provides a cover design based on Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing requirements. This editing service may provide suggestions to enhance the readability of the manuscript, but it does not include manuscript development.Breakdown
