PUBLISH YOUR BOOK

You've done some of the work. Great. Bring it with you.

Maybe you've edited your manuscript yourself. Maybe you designed your own cover. Maybe you've even formatted the book. We don't believe you should have to start all over again. At Ellen Tsitsi, we help independent authors take what they've already done and get it professionally prepared and ready for publication.

You choose what you need.
You keep control of your book.
You pay for the help you actually need.

THE AUTHOR DIY + ELLEN TSITSI WAY

STEP 1 — BOOK CHECK

Is Your Book Ready?

Send us what you've got — your manuscript, cover, title, author bio and any images. We'll assess it and tell you what needs attention before you publish.

🟢 GREEN

Ready to move forward.

🟠 AMBER

A few things need fixing.

🔴 RED

Important work is needed before publication.

STEP 2 — FIX WHAT YOU NEED

You Choose. We Fix.

You don't need to buy a huge publishing package when you only need two or three things.

Choose from:

Proofreading
Formatting
Cover Check
Back-cover Blurb
Author Bio
Copyright Page
Table of Contents
References & Bibliography
Book Description
Metadata

Already done something yourself?

We'll work with what you've got.

STEP 3 — COVER RESCUE

Designed Your Own Cover?

Great. Let's check whether it's actually ready for publishing.

We'll check things like:

• Dimensions

• Resolution

• Bleed

• Spine

• Typography

• Readability

• Front, back & spine alignment

• Print requirements

• eBook requirements

We're not here to take your design away from you.

We're here to make sure your DIY cover doesn't become a publishing problem.

STEP 4 — THE BOOK MAKEOVER

Your Book Should Look Like a Book.

A document that looks good on your laptop isn't necessarily ready for publication.

Our Book Makeover checks and prepares your interior for publishing, including:

Page size • Margins • Fonts • Headings • Chapter openings • Page numbers • Headers & footers • Spacing • Table of contents • Images • Print-ready PDF • eBook formatting

STEP 5 — PUBLISHING ADMIN DESK

The Boring Stuff Authors Don't Want to Figure Out.

ISBNs. Metadata. Copyright pages. Book descriptions. Publishing details. Upload requirements. You shouldn't have to become a publishing expert just to publish your book. We can help you prepare and manage the publishing details, including:

ISBN assistance • Barcode preparation • Copyright & publication pages • Metadata • Keywords & categories • Book descriptions • Author profiles • Retailer information • Upload preparation • Print specifications

You bring the book.

We'll help you navigate the paperwork and publishing maze.

STEP 6 — PUBLISHING ASSIST

Want Someone to Walk You Through the Whole Process?

You own the book. You keep your rights. You make the decisions. We help you get it published. Our Publishing Assist service takes you through the publishing process from a finished manuscript to publication, without forcing you into an expensive all-or-nothing package.

STEP 7 — YOUR BOOK IS PUBLISHED. NOW WHAT?

Publishing Is Only the Beginning.

Getting your book published is one thing. Getting people to notice it is another. We can help with:

Book launch material • Social media content • WhatsApp marketing • Author introductions • Press releases • Media pitches • Podcast & radio pitches • Launch planning • Book sales pages • Author branding

Because your book shouldn't spend its first six months sitting quietly on the internet.

THE ELLEN TSITSI DIFFERENCE

PROFESSIONAL PUBLISHING HELP FOR AUTHORS WHO WANT TO DO IT THEMSELVES.

We don't believe every author needs us to do everything.

You may already have an editor.
You may already have a designer.
You may already have a cover.
You may already have done half the work.

That's okay. Our job is to look at where you are, identify what's missing and help you get to the finish line.

MANUSCRIPT → BOOK → PUBLISHED → AUTHOR BRAND → SALES

Your book. Your decisions. Your budget.

START WHERE YOU ARE.

Not sure what you need?
