Creating Successful Books & Authors

Is your book memoir, nonfiction, fiction, graphic novel or children's book? For over 14 years I have been a full-time professional writer, editor, book and cover designer, and publisher. I have expertise in all stages of publishing including electronic and print book production and distribution, bestseller strategies, and am versed with Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP), IngramSpark (IS), Draft2Digital (D2D), other platforms, as well as selling direct from your website, author and platform development, as well as launch, marketing and publicity. If you've written a book, it's sometimes like coming to the edge of a cliff! What's next? Do you need help any of these next steps? * Editing? * Trim size, margins (fuller no bleed)? * Format choices (ebook, paperback, hardcover)? * Headers, footers, and pagination? * Indexing? * Interior book design? * Cover design? * Full cover design and formatting by specs and templates for IngramSpark, KDP, Lulu? * Working with WORD? * Conversion to EPUB, MOBI, PDF and/or use of InDesign created files? * Beta readers? * Advance Review Copies (ARCs)? * Keyword research and selection? * Book/BISAC codes and category selection? * ISBNs (and how to save on them)? * Publishing strategy? * Launch planning? * Compelling marketing description/blurb? * Engaging author bio? * Uploads of metadata and files to publishing platforms? * Publishing platform orientation, including how to order author copies? * How to build your author infrastructure for long-term success? * How to leverage your book for immediate ROI and stepping-up your career? I love books! In fact almost ten years ago I started on Elance and built a robust profile while starting my own professional practice, which still exists today. There, I collaborate on larger book projects and provide author services (as "Rodney Miles"). I've returned to Upwork because I also enjoy working with people on smaller projects, and I'm excited to help you with whatever aspect of your writing, design, or publishing you might need. Books change lives, for both readers and authors, and I'm always grateful to be any part of such a memorable experience with you. Creating and launching books should be FUN and EASY for you, with PROFESSIONAL results that accomplish your goals! Check out my website and send me a message about your project on Upwork! Let's see if we're a great fit : )
