Book Design & Publishing
Tim Wickenden has completed the design of five books that have been published through Kindle Direct Publishing on Amazon; three books written by himself and three books written by other local authors. Tim has designed both the layout of the books and the striking images that can be found on their covers. These books are;
Angel Avenger, Take Back andThat Girl in the Box Car, by Tim Wickenden, Guilty Diamonds by H. E. R. Hatts, and Huw is Missing and The Body at Pen Caer by Martin Whitbread.
But design is only part of the process. If you want to sell your books on Amazon, you need to know the tricks of the trade to get you noticed and Tim has first hand experience in the selection of key words and categories that will push your book up the best-sellers list and give good advice on getting your book reviewed.
