Book Formatting Services 

Paperback, eBook and iBook

 

Aside from Kim Hansen being an investigative researcher, writer, illustrator and self-publishing her own children's books in paperback, including a wide variety of formats--Kindle, Nook, Kobo and Smashwords--she has also prepared, formatted and uploaded paperback, eBook, and iBook editions for other bestselling authors, including true crime author Sherrie Lueder, and co-authors John Hansen, and Tyson Wrensch, and Amazon bestselling author Carrie Shubert. 

 

Since the release of her own book projects, Kim has been approached by other authors inquiring about book formatting services. Therefore, she has decided to offer paperback,  eBook, and iBook formatting, creation and uploading as a paid service. If you are planning to self-publish your own book projects, just the thought of it can be overwhelming. Kim is very knowledgeable of the self-publishing business and is here to help you succeed.
