From improving the overall structure, logic and style of your book to assessing its accuracy, tone and flow, the JLP professional team of editors provides detailed services for all phases of editing including proof reading. See the six types of JLP editing below this section.

It's inevitable that at some time on your writing journey, you will need mentoring, guidance and encouragement from a trusted adviser who serves as your writing coach. JLP provides award-winning expert coaches that connect, engage, energize and empower authors from start to finish.

The most tedious and time-consuming phase of self-publishing is formatting your book (interior layout design). It takes skill, talent and patience with an attention to detail. Since many authors don't have these abilities, consider outsourcing formatting for your paperback or hardcover book to JLP.

First impressions are critical. Potential readers (buyers) judge a book by its cover, so you want it to be eye-catching. A professional looking cover stimulates interest. Just as formatting require special skills and talents, designing a 'wow 'factor cover takes an expert from JLP.

A picture is worth a thousand words.
To add visual appeal to your interior layout and cover design, use appropriate and relevant graphs, graphics, pictures, charts and illustrations designed by a talented artist from JLP.

Hire a JLP ghost writer to author a book or write a literary work that you or someone else will be credited with writing. In the past, the JLP publisher has served as a ghostwriter for politicians, religious leaders, entertainers and CEOs.

JLP partners with leading print-on-demand planforms (POD), such as Amazon's KDP, to provide high quality professional printing. This type of publishing platform prints books only when ordered unlike traditional publishers who print in bulk quantities.

Once published, your book will be available on Amazon and some other web-based platforms. Although JLP doesn't provide extensive Marketing services, we offer easy-to-implement tactics along with outsourced advertising resources to consider. Advertising campaigns are effective but are costly.

JLP offers the guidance and outsourced resources that empower independent authors to transform their words into high-quality unabridged or abridged audiobooks. Whether you choose to read and record your text or hire a professional narrator and recording studio, JLP is here to help.
