Dear all

I have recently started a business aimed at assisting writers who are keen to be published. The company is called Shearer Square, it is based in Dubbo, NSW, and my name is Tim Stratton.

I have more than a decade's experience in project-managing a wide variety of written texts, across the humanities, fiction, scientific, technical and medical genres. My role is to take your manuscript through to published product, available on the world's largest online marketplace. In doing so, we exclude the most expensive part of book publishing (printing) and your work is immediately accessible to literally millions of people. This provides an infinite stock of your text and, best of all, you receive royalties for your work!

Please visit my website at www.shearersquare.com.au for more information - or feel free to reply to this post should you have any immediate queries.

Kind regards

Tim Stratton

Hi Tim,

We love what you're aiming to do for authors and perhaps there's some synergy with what we do at our end too (we design books and educate self-publishing authors to make their book a success), so we'd love to get to know a little more about your specialisation and perhaps chat about some sort of reciprocal alliance if you're interested?

Cheers,
Matt

Hi Matt

Apologies for the delay in responding - have been away on other business. Thanks for your enquiry; our specialisation is book production with particular emphasis to copy-editing, typesetting, proofreading and print file production, most prominently in the field of e-books. I have a number of freelance operatives capable of the above processes which can thereby get a text from manuscript form to published product so if you're looking for ideas on that side of matters, let me know and I can assist as necessary.

Hope that helps - let me know if you have any other queries, and apologies again for the delay in responding.

Regards

Tim
