Self-Publishers and Self-Publishing
We offer a thorough and reliable proofreading and editing service for the self-publisher.
The market for self-publishing is becoming very popular. Unpublished authors often have an uphill struggle finding a publisher who is willing to consider their work. Authors often abandon the traditional publishing route for the self-publishing alternative.
Self-publishers have one goal in mind and that is to have
their work available to the outside world. Three reasons to consider
the self-publishing route are:
- Mainstream publishers take too long. Publishing houses receive many manuscripts every week and they may choose only a selected few. This is one good reason to consider self-publishing, as your work may be ready for the market in 2-3 months
- Authors sometimes want to be involved in the entire creative publishing of their works, and have their books exactly as they choose. Here the self-published author has the final say in the editing, proofreading and book design decisions
- Some books, for example, an autobiography may address a limited market and might not interest a mainstream publisher
