Talk with Melanie

C0-Owner of Self-Publishing Services

Specializes in:

  • The self-publishing 101. Need help understanding the publishing process, determining strategy, or taking the first step? You want Melanie.

  • Trouble-shooting. Need to make changes to a pdf file or fix an e-pub that looks nothing like it should? Need to source a printer for a specialty project? Not sure the standard POD options are going to work for you? Talk to Melanie.

  • The dreaded M-word. Melanie can talk you through marketing in a way that makes it feel, dare we say, manageable? No big glittery promises, just straightforward suggestions that work for you.

  • The other M-word. Metadata is a crucial step in setting your book up for success. Learn about it here.

  • Complex book builds. Got a multi-author or graphically complex project? Talk to Melanie. Or Clare.

Talk with Clare

Co-Owner of Self-Publishing Services

Specializes in:

  • Editing. All the editing. Not sure what level of edit you need (or even what the difference is between a substantive and a proofread)? Clare clears it up.

  • Writing coaching and accountability. Got a goal but not sure you can get there yourself? Talk to Clare. She will help you create reasonable expectations and timelines, and give the most encouraging (and effective) gentle nudges along the way.

  • Traditional queries. Thinking of going the traditional route, but not sure what all is involved? Clare will help you prepare your submissions from query letter to synopsis to making the first three chapters submission ready.

  • Blurbs. Why are they the way that they are? Why is it so hard to condense a book that you’ve spilled blood for into 100 words guaranteed to captivate your ideal reader? Clare knows.

  • Complex book builds. Got a multi-author or graphically complex project? Talk to Clare. Or Melanie.
