Questions? I've got answers

Can you draw/illustrate my book cover?
While I don't offer custom illustrations or drawings, I use a combination of stock imagery, graphics, and other creative elements to craft a unique and fabulous cover for your book.

Can you edit my manuscript?
I don't provide manuscript editing or writing services. However, I strongly recommend hiring a professional editor to refine your manuscript before we start the design phase. You can find skilled editors on platforms like Fiverr, UpWork, and Etsy.

How should I prepare my manuscript before giving it to you?
It is best to provide your manuscript in Microsoft Word or Google Docs. 

Do you help with SEO, marketing, and promoting the book?
Currently, I do not offer services in SEO, marketing, or book promotion. However, I'm happy to suggest some basic strategies and resources to help you get started on promoting your book effectively.
