How Nnika Publishing Helps You Become an Author

When I published my novel some years ago, I struggled to finally get it out there because I wanted to do it myself. I didn’t want to deal with the rigidity of many traditional publishers, nor do I want someone else to determine whether I become an author or not. 

While that’s a valid concern – if I may say so myself – it was still a stressful venture. 

Now, it’s not that I don’t like stress; it’s just that I would prefer not to go through needless stress. And I would have avoided that if I knew then what I know today – self-publishing doesn’t always mean DIY – do-it-yourself. 

Self-publishing is also when you recruit a company like Nnika Publishing to help you handle all your publishing needs and support you on your way to becoming an author. 

So, if you’ve always dreamed of becoming an author but have no idea where to start, we are here for you. We are here to help you develop that idea that is burning inside you and to turn your story into a real book.

Let’s discuss how Nnika Publishing helps you become an author. 

The Different Ways Nnika Publishing Helps You Become an Author

1. Book Ideation and Consultation

People erroneously believe that you can only invite publishers when your draft is decent. Well, while that might be the case for most traditional publishers, it isn’t for us. We are available right from the ideation stage. 

So, you don’t have to wait until your draft is complete to consult us. You can come to us right from the idea conception stage.

We are particularly interested in meeting you if you know what you want to write about but aren’t sure how to structure it or who exactly it’s meant for. Or if you just have a spark and are wondering how to flesh it out.

We sit with you (virtually or in person) to help you:

• Develop your idea
• Refine your book idea and identify your audience
• Develop your main message or theme
• Decide on the tone, structure, and overall direction of your book

By the end of this stage, you’ll have a solid foundation and a clear roadmap for your writing journey. And if you’re not much of a writer but have a great story, don’t worry; that’s where the next stage comes in.

2. Ghostwriting and Manuscript Development

If, in your case, the idea is fully formed but you don’t have the time or writing skill to bring it to life, our ghostwriting team can step in to do the heavy lifting for you.

We work by taking your thoughts, experiences, and notes and crafting them into a well-written manuscript that still sounds like you.

Here’s what that looks like:

• We interview you or go through your notes, voice recordings, or rough drafts.
• Then we write, structure, and refine the content while keeping your authentic voice intact.
• You remain the author;  we simply help tell your story beautifully and professionally.

In case you are wondering about confidentiality, it is guaranteed – and we will sign an NDA to that order. So you have nothing to worry about.

We will handle your story with the same care you would, ensuring it feels personal and true to your vision.

3. Editing and Proofreading

Now, for some people, they already have their complete draft. But even the best stories need polishing. The last thing you need is readers calling you out on social media because your book doesn’t read well and it’s full of errors. 

So, once your manuscript is ready, our editors and proofreaders come in to make sure there are no errors. We also ensure every sentence reads smoothly and your ideas flow clearly.

We handle:

• Developmental editing for structure, tone, and overall flow
• Copy editing for grammar, word choice, and readability
• Proofreading for those tiny last-minute corrections before printing

Editing can be the difference between a good book and a great one. Let’s help you make sure your work is ready to stand proudly on the shelves.

4. Book Design and Illustration

We often say we shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. But let’s be real; how many of us really follow that advice?

In the real sense, people do judge a book by its cover. So, we want to make sure yours makes the right first impression. 

We have talented and creative designers and illustrators to make sure your cover design, book layout and illustrations align with your topic and are visually appealing. 

Here’s what we help you with:

• Eye-catching book cover design that fits your genre and audience
• Interior layout that’s clean, readable, and professional
• Custom illustrations (if needed) that bring your story or concept to life

A beautiful design doesn’t just attract readers; it gives your book the professional look it deserves, and we are ready to help you with that. 

5. Printing and Publishing

Once everything looks perfect, it’s time to bring your book into the world. We handle both printing and publishing services, making sure the entire process is smooth and stress-free.

At this stage, we:

• Print your book in your preferred format (paperback or hardcover) and the required quantity (bulk or small quantity)
• Handle ISBN registration so your book is officially recognised and can be sold anywhere
• Help you with copyright best practices to protect your book from intellectual theft
• Guide you through the publishing process to make sure your book reaches the right platforms and readers

This is the point where your dream becomes something you can hold in your hands. At the end of this process, we will give you a real and tangible book with your name on it.

6. Content Writing

Publishing your book is only the beginning. You also want to make sure it reaches a wider audience. T

o help with that, we offer marketing support through our content writing service. We will provide content to help you build visibility, create buzz, and grow your author brand.

Our team helps you with:

• Blog posts, website copy, and press releases
• Social media content and strategies
• Author bios, book descriptions, and launch announcements

And because we understand the online world, we make sure your content doesn’t just sound good, but that it connects with readers who’ll love your work.
