Client Representation
You have written your masterpiece and are considering what to do next. One option is to submit your work to the major publishers and wait for a year or longer, without any guarantee for acceptance.
Another popular option would be to go the self-publishing route. If you have never done it before, it is easy to get overwhelmed. Which platform should you choose? How do you comply with all the requirements? How should you pick keywords and genres? And, most importantly, what do you do after the book goes live?
We have been down this road ourselves and we know exactly how confusing this self-publishing business can be, that's why we are here to gently guide you.
Most leading self-publishing platforms offer an option to either upload your manuscript yourself, in which case you can do it for free, or pay a service fee to the platform editors, in which case you have a range of options, which may include design or not.
Each one of these options is valid. The question is may come down to two factors:
1. Budget, and
2. The level of support you'll get.
