PageTurner Reviews offers publishing assistance for independent authors who want to self-publish but need help navigating the process. Self-publishing has become a viable and respectable route to market, but the technical requirements can be daunting for authors who just want to write. We bridge that gap.
What We Offer
Our publishing services cover the practical steps between a finished manuscript and a published book. We help with:
- Formatting: We convert your manuscript into properly formatted ebook files (EPUB and MOBI) and print-ready PDFs. We handle layout, typography, chapter structure and front matter so your book looks professional from the first page to the last.
- Platform setup: We help you set up accounts on Amazon KDP, Apple Books, Kobo and other major platforms, and guide you through the upload process for each one. We explain the options at each step so you can make informed decisions about pricing, territories and exclusivity.
- Metadata and descriptions: We help you write effective book descriptions, select appropriate categories and keywords, and prepare the metadata that helps readers find your book on retail platforms.
- ISBN and copyright: We guide you through the process of obtaining ISBNs, registering copyright and understanding the legal basics of self-publishing.
How It Works
Every publishing project is different, so we start with a consultation to understand what you need. Send us your manuscript and a brief description of your goals, and we will assess the work and provide a tailored quote. We work in stages, so you can engage us for the whole process or just the parts you need help with.
We do not publish books under our own imprint. We help you publish under your own name or your own imprint, so you retain full ownership and control of your work. We are a service provider, not a publisher, and we do not take a percentage of your royalties.
Pricing
Pricing depends on the scope of work. Formatting is charged per book based on length and complexity. Platform setup and metadata work is charged at a flat rate. We provide a firm quote before any work begins.
If you need help with services we do not offer, such as cover design or developmental editing, we can recommend trusted freelancers who work in these areas.
