Self-Publishing Done Right

line

You did it! You wrote a book.
Now what?

Congratulations on completing your first draft! You’ve probably been spending hours googling like mad, trying to figure out how to get your hard work out into the world, asking questions like: What is a reasonable price for self-publishing and how much will this all cost? Do I work with a self-publishing company or should I work with a hybrid publisher? Which self-publishing companies should I avoid? Is it wise to self-publish? Do I need a license to self-publish my book? What about copyright? Amazon? IngramSpark? ISBN?

It’s. A. Lot.

That’s where I come in! I help you navigate the various tools, vendors, platforms, and terms you’ll need to properly self-publish, guiding you every step of the way.

I provide boutique publishing services that bridge the gap between traditional and independent publishing. I promise professional-grade self-publishing services that don’t compromise on quality or break the bank. I believe that great ideas deserve great presentation, and that self-published doesn’t have to mean second-rate.

DESIGN & execute a successful, custom launch plan 

Do any of the following sentences describe you?

  • I’m writing a nonfiction book and have a draft of my manuscript (does not need to be the final draft).

  • I already know the value of book design, and I’m in no need of convincing that it’s fundamental to a successful book.

  • I want the freedom and control of self-publishing, but want the quality of a traditionally-published book.

  • I don’t want someone else having final say over my work, and I want full ownership, control, and royalties.

  • I am publishing my book to make an impact, help more people, increase revenue, get on more stages, etc.

  • I am an expert in my topic and am not interested in trying to DIY things that aren’t in my zone of genius.

  • I understand the massive ROI that can come from publishing a high-quality book and see publishing as an investment that will pay me back in opportunities over book sales.

Read what authors like you are saying about working with me:

“Katya is a super pro and did the perfect amount of handholding through what is the most confusing part of the self-publishing process. She kept track of all the little details before and after the launch – All the things I would have missed had I tried to do everything on my own. I am so grateful to have had her in my corner as I was feeling very overwhelmed during the launch. She made it easy peasy!”

“After my initial draft was complete, Katya helped me in seeking editors, selecting a layout and book cover specialist, creating a brand, establishing my own publishing company and teaming me with a marketing expert. Katya has been with me from identifying my first seed of an idea to holding a copy of my book in my hand to sharing in my excitement of the reviews and testimonials from readers. She was clear in her explanation of projected costs and contracts. Her influence has provided a flame that has turned into a fire for me to keep on writing and publishing.”

“I contacted Katya to do the editing for my 500-page book intended for self-publishing. After several conversations, I decided to enlist her to do overall management of my project. It turned out to be a valuable role, much more so than I had expected. She stayed ahead of the game in terms of managing the team, meeting deadlines, after setting them, and making sure the chosen editors and I were all engaged and coordinated. With her, I went through the whole self-publishing process with a peaceful state of mind, trusting her ability and expertise. I think that everybody needs that kind of help on any project and she can provide it to make outcomes successful.”

“I can’t thank Katya enough for her incredible support as I prepared to publish and launch my Book The Art Of Seducing Your Customers. Katya was patient and constantly brought value and new ideas to the process. If she did not have an answer, she quickly researched and got back to me. Thanks to Katya, my book was ranked #1 on Amazon for New Releases in several categories. I would not have even thought of adding extra content inside the book to drive a following. Katya worked extremely well with my designer which made a huge difference and trust me “Good” was not the bar. Katya ensured everything we did was GREAT and I am truly thankful! Amazing Customer Experience for sure. She even helped me prep for my book launch party, which was a huge success.”
