Self-Publishing Consulting

Self-publishing is undergoing a revolution, thanks to print-on-demand services, and eBooks on the Kindle, iPad, and other e-readers. In fact, self-publishing should rightly be regarded now as being an “Independent Author,” the same way we think of an “independent filmmaker.”

Mary Holste Design has helped numerous authors bring their books to market. From “narrative how to” books, to self-help, to fiction, we have the experience authors need to not only bring their books to the masses, but we also offer authors branding and promotion services as well.

Check out our portfolio for some of our recent authors. And please feel free to contact us if you have questions or want more information!
