Services
A selection of books I've worked on
My self-publishing services take manuscripts from draft to finalised; upgrade book layouts from Word document to professionally designed, typeset, and formatted; and equip independent authors with the descriptive information they need to self-publish with confidence.
The advantage of self-publishing is that you, as author, retain complete creative control, so while I’ll guide and advise based on my knowledge and experience, you are ultimately the boss!

Title information
Metadata
Advice and guidance on – and (where applicable) editing of – the crucial information and descriptive assets (collectively, the book’s metadata) needed to sell a book commercially. Inclusive of: • Title • Description • Author biography • Categorisation • Print format details • Pricing • Publication date
All projects are quoted for individually, broken down by service, but to give a rough idea of cost: for a 70,000-word manuscript, commissioning the works – full edit, all design, and title information services – you’d be looking at an investment of around £7,000, all in.
