the self-publishing studio

Over the last twenty-five years, the publishing industry has faced several disruptions. The rise (and fall, and rise again) of e-books, together with the emergence of POD (print-on-demand), have forever changed the business of publishing. No longer an elusive, opaque process only accessible through fat-cat gatekeepers, anyone who can hold a mouse — computer mouse, that is — can now publish their book.

But, with this accessibility comes a slew of confusing information, a barrage of different platforms, and different advice from all corners of the Internet. Who do you trust to get your information from?

The Self-Publishing Studio demystifies the self-publishing process by offering transparent advice, step-by-step guidance, and tailored self-publishing packages to suit every author’s needs.

{Susan was quick, she was very thorough, and she gave me some great ideas. I thought I knew what I was doing… but wow! I hired her just to edit my manuscript but we ended up working though the whole process together.

{As a YA Fantasy writer, working with Susan was great! She was thorough with my novel, and she gave me constructive, direct and detailed feedback on what needed polishing. She made sure there was continuity and flow, as well as consistency with the plot and naming of characters and places. Very happy to have collaborated with her, and looking forward to working with her again on my next book too. Thank you!

{I can not credit Susan’s professional and knowledgeable enough in preparing my book for release. Susan performed the editing and coordinated the entire production of the book in multiple formats. She provided excellent step by step instructions related to all my questions. Susan made Piecing Together The Chaos a reality.

{Susan was a delight to work with. She worked through my book from developmental editing, to copy editing, proofreading, and cover design. She was great at identifying and helping me remove my verbal tics as well as ensuring that the book was well structured, readable, and understandable. My book, Cryptocurrency and Real Estate was a nonfiction book and in a very niche topic. Susan was professional, completed her work on time, and I felt that her pricing was very reasonable for the tasks that she undertook. I am pleased with and proud of the result. I would work with Susan again in a heartbeat.

{Susan was great and helped me get my final edit over the line. She saw minor errors that I wouldn't have noticed. You read your manuscript so often that your brain glosses over these things. Regardless, I appreciate the external help from Susan. Thank you once again!

{I have just completed my second round of developmental editing with Susan. Once again my expectations were surpassed. She provided another detailed, thoughtful and cogent report which gave me the confidence and a clear roadmap to move forward with my novel. I cannot recommend her highly enough and she will be my first choice for the foreseeable future for independent editing services.
