The Best Self-Publishing Assistant Ever?!
Monique Mensah is a Personal Self-Publishing Assistant. She helps authors like you create books that will make your readers wonder if you were traditionally published. (What a dream, right?)
If the idea of self-publishing on your own fills you with overwhelm, working with Monique can help alleviate that stress. She’ll handle (almost) everything that isn’t literally writing your book—that’s your job! (And if you need help with that part, I’m your girl.)
Note: As part of Monique’s referral program, I’ll make a small commission if you use this link and choose to work with her.
