~by Janet Schwind
I wanted to be profound for my first post in our new alliance—but instead I am opting for being real. I’m just feeling pretty grateful to be doing what I love to do—being independent, using the skills and talents that mean something to me, choosing how I will spend my time, and for whom. And the fact that I have two friends who feel the same and share my professional goals is icing on the cake.
That’s why the Alliance got together. We’re not a business per se. Sometimes you just want to work alongside people with a common vision and passion. Good people who do excellent work and you can have fun with along the way.
In our case, it’s helping authors self-publish. Each of us brings one of the cornerstones of publishing--Janet (that's me) on editing (and blogging), Suzanne is design, and Rodger is promotion (and blogging)—so we can cover all the angles aspiring authors need. We love helping people bring their stories to life, each of us taking up the baton in our part of the relay, a.k.a. the publishing process. And collaborating seamlessly, because we’re not bogged down by any business structures or committees.
You choose which parts of the publishing process you need, and work directly with a pro, one to one. Guided, easy and totally in your control. Keeping it simple, keeping it real.
We hope you’ll hang with us, contact any one of us, ask questions, share your authoring dreams. And we’ll give your book our very best, from manuscript through interior design to cover design and promotion. In true indie style.
I’ll be profound another day.
