Navigating the complicated keywords and categories on book platforms such as Amazon etc. can be extremely stressful. Uploading files, choosing categories, and ensuring everything are listed can be time-consuming, let Indie Publishing take care of it for you! Choosing your keywords, picking categories, and fine-tuning them until you find the right fit for your book can be extremely difficult.
We can help you choose the correct keywords and categories, ensuring that your book has the best opportunity of being seen where it is supposed to be. We can also help with uploading your book to various platforms to finish off your self-publishing journey!
Once your book has been edited, proofread, formatted and it’s ready to publish, it’s time to start visiting all the different web platforms and book sites to start uploading your manuscript or file.

If you want to, you can let one of our professional team members take care of it all for you! They’ll upload your book file, attach covers, work with you to choose pricing and distribution channels, choose keywords, and add descriptions.
