Author Services: My Favorite Providers

You bet your ass I do! 

One of my most commonly asked questions from other authors or aspiring authors is, “do you have a recommendation for [insert various author services here]?” And the answer is yes! To all of it, yes I do! 

So, the easiest way to share that with everyone is to put it in this blog post! I’ll keep a “last updated” date at the bottom of this post, and keep it continually updated as I add or remove things from the list. 

This list will be organized in a loose “order” of when you would need to utilize each service.
