Self-Publishing? Looking to get your book in print but don’t know how?
Writing it was the ‘easy’ part, not only formatting the text and adding pictures. Now you’re faced with the minefield of publishing – you need to get to grips with the process and jargon encountering everything from PDFs to ISBNs!
Even for the computer ‘savvy’, it can be confusing.
This is the part where we come into the story >>
Putting all my worries aside Russell walked me through the process of publishing my first book in 2009. Since then I have self-published a further three books all produced to a high standard by Russell. In 2014 one of which was shortlisted for the Lakeland book of the year. I strongly recommend Pixel Tweaks as the first port of call to all those who wish to publish but who like myself might need a guiding hand.

Russ provided tremendous professionalism in all aspects of publishing – delivered with humour and a smile. He made my task as an author so much easier and enjoyable. He was supportive and constructive and knows the business inside out.

Pixel Tweaks has helped me produce three books to date. I totally rely on Russell's technical knowledge and professional expertise to get my books to print. He is extremely patient and supportive throughout the process. I have recommended him to three people, who have used Pixel Tweaks, and been happy with the service. I will continue to recommend Pixel Tweaks to anyone looking for clear advice and support in producing a book. I will shortly be returning to Russell for help with a fourth book.

Russ is the consummate professional, who always goes the extra mile for his authors. He is there to offer support and advice if you are having a crisis of confidence or suffering from writer's block, he offers advice without pressure. Helping rather than leading. He also has a remarkable ability to restore and enhance old photographs.
I would not hesitate to recommend his services to any author who requires the best presentation for any book of any genre that they hope to publish.
