Submission.
We accept manuscripts for most genres,
in Microsoft Word, Apple Pages, Google Docs or even plain text files.
I am Martin Harris and writing is something that I always enjoyed.
In 2015, I wrote “Diary of a Little Dog" and self-published on Amazon.
In 2021, it got the attention of several publishers and was professionally published. I learned about the hybrid publishing model and that I could provide a much better service and 'value of money'.
This is my book publishing service to help you.
