Publisher info

Prose by Design is a company designed to help new and aspiring authors realize their dream of becoming published. Between the two of us we have marketed our novels to the tune of over 25,000 copies sold over the past year. After successfully marketing and publishing our own novels, we were approached frequently by authors asking us to help them either with technical issues, or in how to prosper in the self-published market. Needs included such things as formatting, marketing, cover design, to name a few. We realized there was a real need for new authors to get help in areas in which they struggle, and it was because of this Prose by Design came into being.
