To my fellow indie authors and micropublishers:

Everything is hard right now. Everything is costly. Everything is frustrating. And I want to help.

I know how much you’re struggling because I’m an indie, too. I was founder and designer at a partnered indie press which went under this year due to unsustainable overhead and the AI glut undermining the industry. I was devastated.

RIP Mannison Press, LLC (2019-2026).

But through my experiences in indie publishing, I learned some stuff and acquired some skills that I can now use to help others. Why? Simply because I know how. And I can. I just want to help authors of limited means bless the world with their own unique stories and fresh ideas.

And so, I hereby offer absolute rock-bottom, gotta-be-a-typo pricing to format your books for you. Absurdly low flat rate, includes both print and ebook. No upcharge or additional fees. Tip if you want or don’t, it’s neither necessary nor expected. Talk to me and I’ll work with you. The only reason I’m not doing it for free is simply to separate wheat from chaff.

Here’s some nitty-gritty:

• I’ll provide a simple contract for peace of mind.
• I’ll provide a questionnaire to tailor to your preferences.
• I work in MS Word and will be formatting per KDP guidelines. This includes print (in your choice of available KDP trim size) and ebook (in KPF, EPUB, and PDF) formats.
• I’m happy to include any graphics you might have (like scene separators or other decorative touches). I might even do one up for you, if you want one. Details on that in my questionnaire.
• I default to PayPal because I can provide you an invoice, but I also have Venmo and CashApp. Payment only due upon delivery, nothing up front is necessary.

One major contingency: ABSOLUTELY NO GENERATIVE AI. Human-generated content only. It’s in my contract. I reserve the right to accept or refuse work based on work load or blatantly objectionable subject matter; services provided do not equal endorsement.

And now, the literal bottom line:

$10.00 USD.
