I didn’t want to scare you in my post last week, but I did want to warn you about the plethora of publish scams out there. The response has been pretty amazing.

 

That said, I wanted to publicize some quality publishing services that will give you a lot of bang for the buck—while helping get a business off the ground.

 

Lisa Hawker is one of Illumify’s copyeditors. A HarperCollins bestselling author, her husband Andy is one of my closest friends.

 

Andy needs just a little financial bump to get his new tap house, The Filling Station, on its feet here in the Denver area.

 

Which works in your favor.
