While your journey to publishing may be a steep learning curve, you can do it more easily with the right information. I’ve helped many similar authors, as well as fought my way through the process myself.
Whatever your problem inside self-publishing is, my services or new membership site can probably help. The thing we can’t help with is connections to traditional publishing.
My blog lets authors know some of the pitfalls of self-publishing, marketing, freelance business tips, and how to increase profits.
I can help with a non-fiction book writing project, either starting afresh with writer coaching or structural editing at the mid-point. Or perhaps you’ve finalised the book and need Line editing, Project Management, or help with Book Marketing.

POD sounds easy, but there’s a massive difference between an amateur and a professional when it comes to presentation. We stumbled around for weeks doing our best to make our book, There’s a Gold Mine in Your Head look like a real book. Then we found Jennifer. In a matter of days it came back looking like a real book, ready to send off. Not only that, but Jennifer gave us some great tips on self publishing and contacting libraries, and she was always available when we hit another roadblock. We can’t recommend her services highly enough.Donald and Harry Stallman
Working with Jennifer on my first ebook project was an absolute pleasure. Not only did she guide me through the publishing process but she also added invaluable editing advice along the way. Her professionalism and expertise is apparent in the quality of the finished product. I learnt a lot working with Jennifer and will not hesitate to seek her services to assist with my next project.Martin Hadfield
Jennifer Lancaster edited my book, “Creating Healthy Life Habits”. I was very impressed with Jennifer’s efficiency, professionalism and attention to detail. Jennifer made recommendations to the text, making suggestions to change sentences or the order of words, so that it read better, and also picked up some minor but very important grammatical and punctuation errors. I was very happy with her suggestions and the work she did. I would have no hesitation in using her again, and can highly recommend her services.Mandy Napier BSC
