Transforming your manuscript into a published book


My job is to take the stress out of POD and E-book independent (indie) publishing by providing you with professional author-assisted publishing services. It’s very likely that you feel confused about the steps you need to take to typeset and independently publish your book. This is understandable because you are a writer, not a publisher, and self-publishing platforms and manuscript guidelines can be quite complex.


Book production management and publishing services


I assist indie authors to self-publish via Amazon KDP as well as IngramSpark. For Australian authors especially, publishing via IngramSpark provides additional printing, distribution and royalty payment benefits not available through Amazon KDP. This service also includes uploading your author taxation forms, inputting your book’s description, metadata, BISAC codes, relevant keywords and author bio.


Book design and layout


I can help you with book and cover design, layout, typesetting and image insertion. I use state-of-the-art templates and design techniques to produce your book to industry-publishing standards. I collaborate with you during this creative process, but you retain ultimate control of the publication.


ISBN, Legal deposit, Prepublication Data Service, US tax-exemption certificates


Indie publishing involves many legalities that authors are often not aware of. I can confidently guide you in obtaining and completing this information.


You can use my contact page to enquire about this service, and provide upload the document you require this for. You can also email me at enquiries@theeruditepen.com for a quote specific to your needs.
