The publishing industry witnessed a revolution with the fast growth of self-publishing. Agencies like Maple Publishers are formed to support self-publishing writers with a range of services, from editing to eBook conversion, enabling them to successfully publish their book independently on Amazon or a similar platform.
Despite various options to knock on the doors of traditional publishers, if you choose to self-publish your book, do visit Maple Publishers or connect with them online to avail of the packaged services, including almost all the necessary ones to ensure a complete book before publishing.
While self-publishing, unlike the traditional way, you have to focus on every detail of the pre-publishing works, whether it’s the final editing or the book cover design, before giving the green signal to publish the book. When you choose to independently publish the book and control the royalty, you, being the writer, have to put in this much effort even when the agency provides the best in business services that any client would wish to have for an impeccable publishing experience.
Let’s explore the services that self-publishing writers get from Maple Publishers—
Book Cover Design
The cover design of any book portrays the inner story and also works as a validation to the readers who show interest in buying the copy by getting impressed by the cover.
With the passing time, the style of cover design is changing drastically. When previously, the dominance of gigantic typographies with a splash of colour on the covers was more visible, especially on thrillers or even romantic comedies, today, minimalism is more prevalent on the covers with a single colour on it, with only the title and author’s name on the spiral besides the footer of the front cover, exhibiting a classy aura.
Illustrations are also dominating today’s book covers. Explain your book to the designer, and together design the final cover design with the elements to leave a mark on the potential audience.
Ghostwriting
If you are unable to finish the book, then you can ask for a ghostwriter. Maple Publishers has the goodwill of offering one-of-a-kind ghostwriting services by authentic professionals and maintaining professional secrecy.
Even if you have an idea about a fiction, let them know about it and with their expert writing abilities, the ghostwriters can create an excellent draft on your behalf. You can use your name in the book and get it published.
Before publishing your first eBook for promoting your business or as a demo for any product, opt for ghostwriting services for the best returns and to save your time as well.
Editing
Professional editing is essential after the final draft is ready. Whether it’s completed by you or the ghost writer, the editor with a sharp skill of cutting off unnecessary words and sentences will make the draft more reader-friendly. Incorporating the reading elements must be done in the final manuscript before it’s sent for printing or eBook conversion.
EBook Conversion
Today, platforms like Amazon, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, Google Books, etc. are selling more eBooks than the printed copies. Despite printing copies of the same book and selling them on these platforms besides bookstores, consider launching an eBook format of the same book to experience a higher sales ratio. The eBook readers these days are making books bestsellers before the printed copy readers.
The eBook conversion experts at Maple Services are well-acquainted with the latest ePUB software. They convert it into PDFs and later on, the upload is done on Kindle Direct Publishing or elsewhere.
Enjoy the freedom of using a separate cover design for the eBooks to drive more customers towards your book. Offer a free sample as a blurb to eBook buyers on Amazon or elsewhere to create an interest in reading the book further.
Illustrations

The agency will work on your behalf and will appoint a professional illustrator for the job. However, you must work together as a team to create the most relevant illustrations for your new book.
Different forms of illustrations are portrayed in children’s books these days. From line sketches to cartons, you can find a wide array of the illustrations. Let the expert guide you with the best ideas and the budget-friendly service.
