What we do
What a finished book needs
Liftora helps independent writers turn a manuscript into a polished, professionally presented book, and helps them build an author identity readers recognise.
Depending on your needs, this may include manuscript editing, proofreading, interior formatting, cover design, book descriptions, metadata and preparation for your chosen publishing platform. Each part of the book has its own task, and each task has a clear purpose.
