DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON VANITY PUBLISHERS!

Why not?

Vanity publishers have no skin in the game. The success or failure of your book is irrelevant to them, as they have already made thousands of dollars by charging you for their services.


A friend of mine recently paid Austin Macauley NZD27000 to publish her work, meaning she would have to sell thousands of copies to recoup her costs. She sold 7.


Sure, they will make some loose edits, fix some spelling and grammar, and call it done. But does your book have merit, or did they just polish a turd?


There is a critical element missing from their services:

They will not provide feedback on how to improve your manuscript. They will publish anything you send to them, regardless of its sales potential. If you want your book to stand a chance in a market saturated with new authors daily, this is a critical step.


We can help. 


Truth be told, if we don't think your book has merit, we will you offer coaching or turn it down instead of taking your money. The first thing we do is send you a comprehensive analysis, with a clear indication if it would benefit from any rework. This is free, with no obligation.


If you are brave of heart, read on!

The amount of work required (cost) will vary depending on your level of experience and the current state of your manuscript. A well polished piece of 30000 words would typically take 1 - 2 hours to proof, while a first draft by an inexperienced writer might take 10.


For this reason it would be very helpful if you would attach your document to the email, or at least the first three chapters for us to review. 


We never share any of your data with anybody under any circumstance. It goes no further that my Inbox.
