Author Services Australia completed…

Author Services Australia completed three custom-designed covers for my romance series. They were very professional, accommodating, and completed each project timely. I highly recommend their services and plan on using their design services again.

The best professional service I have…

The best professional service I have found after doing extensive research. Clayton Hobb is highly responsive and professional and so is everyone on his team. The work is beautiful from design to editing to paper quality ensuring every aspect of the book from start to publish is perfected. Very happy.

Best in the business

Clayton had helped me with multiple books now and it has always been such an easy and guided process with him. He is patient, knowledgable, and communicative. I would definitely recommend him to anyone. Thanks again Clayton.

Excellent service for independent authors

Love working with Authors Australia, they've produced my book covers and maps for 7 of my books and counting. The experience is always positive and collaborative, nothing is too hard for Clayton to assist with, and service and communication is always very prompt. I work with Britt Wilson as the illustrator, who does a fantastic job with all the art on my illustrated book covers & maps.

People do just their book by its cover

If you have attempted to write a novel you soon realise that not only is it a lonely endeavour but a long and lonely road to reach the final masterpiece. Whether you decide to publish via a traditional publisher or for personal reasons self-publish in the latter case you need to overcome several hurdles. A major part of which is converting your manuscript to a book that we have become accustomed to seeing in the bookstore or online.
This is where the services of Author Services Australia, ASA, guides you along this bumpy road to smooth out the process. ASA's highly skilled team do so delivering outstanding results. And I must add with great patience. Because as you witness the transformation from manuscript to a book you begin to notice things. I have done so a number of times along this arduous path. Not once did Clayton Hobbs of ASA, grumble with reluctance or take longer to deliver the desired outcome.
Take my advice, I have published via a traditional publisher and this time around I chose for personal reasons to go the route of self-publishing, don't go on this gruelling ride without the help of Clayton and ASA. If you do so you will soon find the process of going live more frustrating than writing.
