Publishing services range from book editing and book design to full publishing services. Whether you want someone to manage the whole publishing process for you (full publishing service) or you want someone to assist you to self-publish (assisted self-publishing) or you decide to do it all yourself, if you want to end up with a book of which you can be proud, you’ll need professional publishing services. Our caring team will meet all your needs and guide you through what can otherwise be an overwhelming process.
Escarpment Publishing is an imprint of Alkira Publishing (a partner member of the Alliance of Independent Authors ), and it’s run by the same team of professionals, so some of the links below for individual services will take you to information on the Alkira Publishing website or to our editor’s website.
Editing
Tahlia Newland manages our editing services, which include manuscript appraisals to identify where your book could improve, line and copy editing, and proofreading. She works to both UK and US conventions (Chicago Manual of Style).
Book Cover and Interior Design for print and ebook
A one-stop service for all your self-publishing file needs. Get covers for both ebook and paperback and the interior files for both from the same provider. Rose, our book designer will create ebook and paperback covers and interiors specifically for your book.
Learning to produce files that meet printer and ebook publishers’ requirements takes a huge amount of time, and the process of getting them right can cause major headaches for self-publishers. Avoid the frustration by having a professional do them for you.
Full Publishing Service
If you have a children’s book or some general non-fiction you want published, or you’ve written your memoir and you want to have it published for your family, Escarpment Publishing’s full publishing service is right for you.
This full publishing service option is for those who want someone ethical and reliable to do all the publishing for them. In this option, you get 100% of the royalties and have control over how the finished product will look, but you get the benefit of professional advice to help you make wise choices.

Assisted self-publishing
Self-publishing is the right choice for those who want total control over their book business, such as those who want to publish under their own business name, and are able to do some of the publishing work themselves. But learning how to self-publish is time consuming and a lot to get your head around. If doing it all yourself seems too daunting, then we can help you learn self-publishing while we guide you through the process.
See our assisted self-publishing service page for more information.
Publishing advice
If you plan to self-publish all by yourself, we advise that you join the Alliance of Independent Authors for reliable advice and information on self-publishing.
And you can book a Zoom consultation in which we can answer all your self-publishing questions – USD $80 (AUD$100) per 40 minute zoom.
