I help people publish their own books. 

The differences between publishing options vary.  Many years ago, aspiring authors simply hoped to get signed by a big name Traditional Publisher – this was one of the only ways to get a book to market. But things have changed. Technology in printing and distribution has made a way for ANYONE to get their book printed and sold across the world with full ownership and agency. 

I offer a turnkey solution to get your book into the world.
All royalties are yours. You have full control – I just help you through the technical and tricky parts.
The average cost of getting a book publishing and selling across the world in paperback and ebook is AUD$1970  (approx. USD$1350 USD).
However, packages can be adjusted to suit author’s needs. Let’s chat
