Self-Publishing Services

Self-publishing is a lot more than clicking “upload.” Every platform has its own rules, and each step has to be done correctly or your book gets held up. We handle the technical setup so your book is published cleanly, professionally, and without guesswork. You’ll always know what step we’re on and what comes next, with no late-night Googling required.

Publishing isn’t editing, design, or marketing. It’s the setup and distribution work that gets your book out into the world. Our goal is simple: make publishing the easiest part of your whole book journey.

 

You keep complete control of your book — your accounts, your files, your royalties, your rights, and your future editions.

We don’t take a percentage of your sales and we don’t lock you into anything. Our job is simply to help you publish your book the right way.

Searchability & Metadata

Metadata is the info that tells Amazon and other retailers what your book is, what genre it belongs in, and who should see it. It’s one of the biggest reasons books succeed or disappear. Inksnatcher will:

  • Research competitive categories and keywords — categories and words book buyers will search for to find books like yours

  • Optimize your book’s metadata for visibility — specific book descriptions

  • Align BISAC codes with your genre and goals – the official categories libraries use to catalogue your book

We don’t guess. We use real data and current market trends to place your book where it belongs, so your book is positioned where readers are already looking. Good metadata helps the algorithm do its job. Bad metadata buries your book.

Book Distribution

We can up your book on Amazon KDP and IngramSpark, giving you the widest reach worldwide:

  • Bookstores
  • Online retailers
  • Libraries

Each platform has different requirements, and we make sure your print-ready files and metadata meet those standards so everything runs smoothly once your book goes live. You’ll know exactly where your book is available and how each book sales platform handles printing, ordering, and sales.

Self-Publishing Coach and Support

There’s no need to feel like a numpty when you have your own self-publishing coach a text or email away. If you want your book live on Amazon, and be available for bookstores to order, without the stress, this is for you.

  • Clear answers about ISBNs, pricing, and global distribution – an ISBN is a unique number for your book that bookstores, libraries, and retailers need

  • Coaching built into every package

  • Fast support by email or text (no ghosting here)

You don’t have to learn all of that. We make sure it’s done correctly the first time. A well-set-up book builds trust. A sloppy setup does the opposite. We make sure yours meets the level of quality readers expect.

Once your book is live, we make sure you know how to use your dashboards, order author copies, and make updates when needed. And if you ever need help months later — a new edition, a description change, republishing — we’re still here.
