Self-publishers

If you have decided to self-publish, that’s wonderful! Self-publishing is a great way to share your knowledge, make an impact and raise your profile.

Investing in your self-publication is crucial to creating a product you can be proud of. At the bare minimum, self-publications should be professionally proofread. However, investing in professional editing and design will help you create a more readable and attractive book that reflects your brand and amplifies your message.

I specialise in non-fiction books, particularly self-improvement books and how-to guides. You can request different levels of assistance, from proofreading the manuscript to a complete do-it-for-you service. Each client and project will have different requirements, but to help understand the costs, I have offered approximate figures below for a 20,000-word book.

While working with editors and proofreaders creates a more professional product, a marketing strategy is needed to create success (whatever that means to you)! I can help you develop a marketing strategy for your book, or I’m happy to point you to some good resources.

Whatever your job requires, you can rely on me to support your project professionally and with care. You can even test me out by sending me a sample to proofread for free!

To discuss your project or any questions, please let me know the best date, time and method to chat: email hello@nazneenes.com.
