Self Pub Hub

So you’re a rebel. You are publishing your book your way or the highway. 

Or… maybe you’re not quite done with your book and not sure where the path is leading. 

Or… you published and aren’t sure what comes next. 

Take our quiz to find out.

Where is your book in its journey?

Not finished

You are not alone, fellow writer. We have many tools to help you complete your manuscript and move towards publication. 

Writing Coach
Work with one of our writing coaches to push forward from unfinished manuscript to book. Our coaches have exquisite literary connections and experience and will help you move past writing blocks as they unfold writerly wisdom customized for your book. 

Editors
We have a variety of editors depending on your genre and highly recommend three levels of editing; developmental, line and copy editing in advance of release.

Cover Design
Our cover design artists are in touch with current genre trends while being able to take your own personal tastes into account.

Book Layout & Interior
Interior design tends to be one of the most underrated elements of book production for self pub authors with potentially disastrous results. A poorly designed interior results in a fatigued reader and a poor looking book. We can design your book for print as well as ebook and create an epub file suitable for amazon and elsewhere.

Social Media Management
It’s never too early for Social Media. Social media focuses on increasing visibility and influence of the author which supports an individual book release as well as supporting the overall career of the author. Our minimum social media campaign starts at 30 hrs a month for a minimum of 6 months. Typically authors continue this service ongoing.
  • $75/hr minimum campaign 30hrs – $2250/month
  • Client may choose to continue on a month to month basis after the initial 6 months

Finished but not published

Ah, a delicate stage indeed. You stand in front of several doors and must choose one; the others will close.
