We're delighted to announce the publication of the 2019 edition of the annual ALLi Self-publishing Services Directory.
“Each service provider listed in our Services Directory has been vetted by our Watchdog team and has signed up to ALLi's code of standards,” says Orna Ross, ALLi Director. “If you're an indie author, we hope you will use this directory often, to find the perfect service provider for your particular project at each stage of its development.”
The Directory gives details of all the services offered by our tried-and-trusted Partner members across the various stages of the self-publishing process:
- Writing
- Editorial
- Design
- Production
- Distribution
- Marketing
- Promotion
There is a also a section for companies that offer a multitude of services, and ALLi's Partner Member Code of Standards, which fosters ethics and excellence in self-publishing, is also included for reference.
