Self-publishing services for authors
BigWords books division provides support for New Zealand writers looking to self-publish their books.
Concerned with the lack of available resources and information for self-publishing, BigWords owner Fiona Cole decided to undertake the business of turning manuscripts into professional print-ready books that meet bookstore standards.
Because books are a passion project, only a limited number of author clients are only accepted each year.
Services range from editing and proofreading, design and formatting, and assistance with National Archives requirements through to full project management to printing your bookstore-quality book.
