At Mount Cooper Publishing, I offer a hands-on, personalized approach to helping indie authors bring their books to life. As someone who has walked the self-publishing path from start to finish, I know just how overwhelming the process can feel. That’s why I created a suite of services to support other writers who want to get their work into the world with quality, professionalism, and heart. Whether you’re just starting out or are nearly ready to launch, I can step in where you need help most.
Services I offer
Book Cover Design
Your cover is the first impression your book makes. I work closely with you to design a cover that reflects your story and your style, using genre-appropriate elements and eye-catching visuals that will stand out on both digital storefronts and physical bookshelves. You don’t have to settle for a generic template—I create a custom design that tells your story at a glance.
Publishing Under My Imprint
If you’d prefer not to register your own imprint, you can publish your book through Mount Cooper Publishing. This gives your work a professional polish and the appearance of being backed by an established publisher, without the red tape. It’s a great option for authors who want to focus on writing while still putting out a high-quality, well-branded product.
Print Book Formatting
A beautifully formatted interior makes your book easier to read and more enjoyable for your audience. I format print books for standard trim sizes and ensure consistency in typography, spacing, headers, and pagination. Whether you’re printing through Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, or another platform, I ensure your files meet their exact specifications.
eBook Formatting
Your eBook should look great on any device—from a Kindle Paperwhite to a phone screen. I handle the HTML and EPUB formatting to make sure your digital version flows properly, with clickable table of contents, clean chapter breaks, and smooth readability across platforms. I also provide files that pass validation checks required by retailers. I am skilled at digital formatting in Sigil and Kindle Create, as well as Atticus.io.
Print-on-Demand Account Setup
Setting up a print-on-demand account can be overwhelming, especially when you’re juggling ISBNs, trim sizes, distribution settings, and file uploads. I’ll walk you through the process step-by-step, helping you set up your account on platforms like Amazon KDP or IngramSpark the right way the first time. From choosing the best format and pricing structure to uploading your files correctly, I’ll make sure your book is ready to go live without the stress. Whether you’re tech-savvy or totally new to publishing, this service gives you confidence, clarity, and a clean launch.
Guidance for Creating an Audiobook
Thinking about an audiobook? I provide guidance on scripting your narration, finding a narrator (or doing it yourself), and navigating platforms like ACX and Findaway Voices. If you choose to narrate your own book, I can walk you through preparing your recording space and pacing your delivery.
Audio Mastering
If you choose to record your audiobook yourself, I also offer audio mastering to ensure your final product meets industry standards. From background noise reduction to volume leveling and file format conversion, I make sure your audio sounds clear and professional.
