Hi all!

I’m an indie author working on my second book, and this time I want to go with a professional touch. Can anyone suggest the best book publishing services that cater specifically to indie writers?

Last time I went fully DIY and honestly, it was exhausting. I want a service that respects my creative vision but still offers real value—like professional editing, cover design, and help with distribution. I don’t want to spend a fortune, but I also don’t want to cut corners.

If you've had a great (or terrible!) experience with a publishing service, I’d love to hear about it. Bonus points if they’re responsive and transparent with pricing.

There are so many companies claiming to be the best book publishing services, but real user experiences matter way more to me.

Looking forward to your insights!
