Publishing peeps I trust
Publishing a book is often a team effort. Even if you indie publish, odds are you’ll need support—an editor, a proofreader, a cover designer, maybe an interior formatter, a website developer … there are lots of tasks you might decide to outsource.
Google can give you names—but how can you know if they’re trust-worthy? If they’ll deliver on their promise? If they understand what romance readers look for that’s different from other genre readers?
One thing you can do is cross-reference with my trusted list of romance publishing colleagues. I don’t get paid to promote any of these people—except perhaps in good karma.
