Hi everyone! 👋I’ve just completed the first draft of my debut novel (a psychological thriller!) and I’m now starting to explore publishing options. As a first-time author, I really want to make sure my book gets the best possible treatment—editing, cover design, distribution, and marketing.

There are so many options out there, and I keep seeing people talk about the best book publishing services, but it’s hard to tell which ones are truly reputable and offer real value. Some seem too expensive, while others look like cookie-cutter platforms.

Can anyone recommend the best book publishing services you’ve personally used or heard good things about? I’d love to hear both good and bad experiences to help me make a more informed decision.

Thanks in advance! 🙏
