From book formatting and design, to cover preparation, editing and proofreading at very competitive rates. I'm a self-published author, so I know how hard it can be to meet the costs.
Get in touch.

Wars are never won: merely lost a little less by one side. Sending troops into war extends the futility of war. Poems in "Ripples" and in "Silhouette" - both collections FREE on #KindleUnlimited, and paperbacks FREE in UK if you want them. DM me for info.
