The Joy of Pages Publishing

Bringing Your Words to Life

Services for self-publishing authors

Copywriting

I will write interesting and engaging copy which will be usable as articles, blog posts, social media posts and advertisement.

Copy-Editing and Proofreading

Using the latest editorial and proofreading techniques I can enhance and develop your work, finding any inconsistencies narrative issues and general story development. Whether it is a book, a blog, marketing material or an academic thesis, if it is written, I can edit it.

Book Design

Using the latest edition of Adobe InDesign I can layout, design and typeset your book to the highest industry standards. I can then prepare the book for print if you are using a printing company, or have the book ready for Amazon or other self-publishing services.

Ebook Design​

I can design your book as an ebook, which will be fully interactive. I can emplace pictures and illustrations that will not move around the text and produce a fully working contents page.​

Book Cover Design

Using Adobe Photoshop I can design and layout the cover for your book, and have it prepared for print or for digital distribution

Publishing Consultation

If you are unsure of how to adequately market your book and get your book into the hands of readers, I can give industry advice on the best methods of getting your book out into the world.

Testimonials

We employed David Hambling on a number of tasks and he excelled at everything we asked him to do. He is dedicated, methodical and efficient and I don't hesitate to recommend him for a range of tasks, from reading manuscripts to photoshop and typesetting work.
Dr Matthew Cheeseman

The Joy of Pages did a genuinely excellent job in laying out and typesetting the children's book "Fox 8" by George Saunders, which we published at Peregrine Press. Highly recommended in terms of attention to detail, good communication, and pleasant to work with.​
Dr David Barker
Peregrine Publishing
I looked long and hard to find an editor for my book, 'The Zombie Dialogues', and while there are a lot of people out there who call themselves 'editors', they are just expensive proof readers. David's input made the book what it is today and to say he went above and beyond to help make it happen, would be an understatement. If you have a book and you need an editor and help getting it published, David is your man. And now, for my sins, I'm halfway into my second book and David will be my first choice when it's ready to be edited ... it's a cruel world.
