Covers
A cover tells a browsing reader what they are about to feel, before they read a word.
- Ebook cover, print wrap, and social crops
- Typography and palette matched to your genre
- Designed to work at thumbnail size
Publishing support for independent authors
We do the parts of publishing that are not writing.
Covers, manuscript preparation, launch marketing, and reader list setup. You keep the rights, the royalties, and the accounts. We are hired help, not a publisher.
You keep your rights
No rights assignment, no royalty share, no exclusivity.
Your accounts stay yours
Storefront accounts, ad spend, mailing list. We work inside your accounts or hand everything over.
Fixed price, fixed date
Quoted per project before anything starts. No retainers, no hourly billing.
What we do
Take the whole thing, or take one piece of it.
Manuscript preparation
Everything between a finished draft and a file that uploads cleanly.
- Line and copy editing
- Ebook and print formatting
- Front and back matter, series pages
- Metadata, categories, keywords
Launch and marketing
A plan for the weeks around release, sized to the book and budget.
- Blurb and store description copy
- Ad creative and audience angles
- Release-week sequencing
- A read-through of what converted
Free with any project
Your reader list
A page under your pen name where readers can find your books and sign up to hear about the next one. We set it up; it belongs to you.
- A page under your pen name
- Bio, books, and links. Nothing on it points at us or at any other author.
- A list you own
- Readers sign up from your page and hear from your address. Export it whenever you want.
- Bonus chapters for people who sign up
- Sent automatically once a reader confirms. Nothing for you to attach or send.
