author resource centre (grant leishman) and mcgrath house (rachel mcgrath) have joined forces to bring you the absolute best in fast, efficient, accurate and low-cost author services.
Being an independent author can sometimes seem a lonely and frustrating place to be, but it doesn't have to be that way. When I published my first book, a couple of years ago, I knew absolutely NOTHING about the publishing industry. I even thought all I had to do was send my manuscript to Random House (or one of the other big five) and then sit back and wait for the money to roll in. How naive was that?
I've learned a lot on this amazing journey and that's part of the reason I have set up this section of my website. It is, to give something back, or to "pay it forward", if you like, as a token of the immense gratitude I feel toward all the amazing "indie" community who have helped me along and shown me the way.
I'm just like you, struggling to make a living doing something I love, but it is much easier to do this when you have friends to help you along the way.
One of the best and most supportive friends I've found along the way is Rachel McGrath of McGrath House. Like me, she is passionate about sharing her knowledge and helping others find their way through the labyrinth that is self-publishing. When we looked around at Author Services, we realised what a true minefield this was for the newbie author. The sharks are circling and they want to take your money.
It seemed to us, the best solution would be to join forces and offer our unique skills to the self-published author, with a quality and affordable product.
Rachel is the creative one of the team and produces stunning book covers, book trailers and graphics for social media. I am in awe of her ability.
My expertise is more in the mundane aspects of proofreading, editing and ghostwriting.
To us, it made total sense that we join forces, and put our learnings, experiences and networks together in an effort to help other authors on their journey through publishing and promoting their work.
So we – Rachel McGrath and Grant Leishman – are very pleased to join together, using our expertise to help writers get published, and making that journey to become an author just a little bit easier.
