For the Do-It-Yourself Author

A Little Extra Help

For the truly independent author, we have a little help with our Author Services. We understand how hard the business of writing and publishing a book really is. But once that part is completed, we move on to the truly difficult bit, getting your book seen.

Amazon currently lists 80,000,000 different titles in print. If you’re not sure what 60 million books actually look like, then it’s a stack of books which would reach higher than the Empire State Building, in fact higher than Everest, actually, the pile would reach three times the height of the orbit of the International Space Station.

As Amazon’s pages only display around 10 – 15 books per page, that’s a lot of pages somebody has to search through to find your book. Around four million pages.

Nobody can guarantee to make your book visible but every little bit you can do to help makes it more visible than the millions of books where the authors just sit back and wait.

Listed below you will find a range of author services which really work and are designed to help you, the independent author. We are always happy to put together different combinations and create savings where we can. Just talk to us.

We also encourage you to check out our competitors on both price, quality and support.

You are not required to publish your book with us to take advantage of these Author Services.
