Publishing services offered by PG Press
Self publishing gives you, the author, the opportunity to stay in charge of publishing your book and getting it into the market. If you need some help with that process, PG Press, the specialist ghost publishing service of Professional Ghost, can help.
PG Press offers a range of pay-as-you-go services for authors who want to self publish. There is expert advice and assistance each step of the way, from design and production, into printing, launching and marketing. It is up to you how many, or how few, of these services you choose.
The advantage of working with a ghost publisher is we understand the sometimes complex process of publishing a book and are always on hand to give you advice and answer your questions. You, the author, will always remain in charge though and take all the decisions.
Working with a professional means that you won’t find yourself saddled with dozens of boxes of your book mouldering in the garage. Your ghost publisher will give you help when you need it and make sure you don’t miss any opportunities to get your book out there and into the hands of people who want to read it.
PG Press’s ghost publishing programme is designed to ensure you achieve the momentum and awareness your book deserves.
