Author Services & Publishing Strategy

Strategic book design and publishing support from the "author’s chair" to the bookshelf.

You Wrote the Book.

Now Let’s Make it a Bestseller.

Writing a book is a monumental achievement, but the technical journey from a Word document to a professional product can feel like a gauntlet. Most self-published authors struggle with the “technical black hole” of formatting, cover specifications, and distribution platforms.

You need more than a designer; you need a partner who has navigated the self-publishing trenches firsthand. I combine senior-level design experience with my experience as a published author to ensure your book launch is polished, professional, and stress-free.

The Lifecycle for Your Book

Most designers just hand over a cover file and wish you luck. As your Strategic Creative Partner, I provide a high-level perspective that spans the entire publishing journey to ensure your book isn’t just “finished,” but professionally launched.

  • Phase 01: Professional Design – Moving beyond “pretty” to create market-ready covers and interiors that command attention.
  • Phase 02: Technical Publishing Strategy – Navigating the gauntlet of self-publishing platforms and metadata so your launch is technically flawless.
  • Phase 03: Author Branding – Building the visual assets and marketing materials you need to turn your book into a sustainable business.

Choose the individual solution you need, or combine all three for a full “trenches-to-shelf” partnership.

MY PROMISE: Your Book. Your Rights. 100% Ownership.

I am a service provider, not a publisher. Unlike vanity presses or hybrid publishers, I have no interest in owning your files or taking a percentage of your royalties. You’ve done the hard work of writing the book; you should reap the full rewards of its success.

When we partner together, the following is always true:

  • You Retain All Rights: You maintain 100% ownership of your intellectual property, your files, and your future earnings. I am here to facilitate your vision, not own a piece of it.

  • Your Accounts, Your Control: Your book is published directly to your Amazon KDP account or other publishing platform. I provide the technical guidance to set them up correctly, but you hold the keys.

  • No Royalty Splitting: I charge a flat fee for my professional services. Once our project is complete, every cent of your royalties goes directly to you.

  • Full File Portability: Upon completion, you receive all final, high-resolution production files. You aren’t “locked in” to a proprietary system.

I am here to be the technical and creative engine behind your launch, ensuring your book is professional, polished, and entirely yours.
