Author Resources
A new initiative - we will be adding useful author resources to this page - so keep an eye out for updates.
Please note we only list services we use, this is not a paid-for list.
Proofreaders, copy editors, and editors:
Good copy editors and proofreaders can be hard to find, so when looking for one, make sure to ask your Tweeting or FBing writer friends for any feedback of their experiences with these.
Pauline Nolet handles copy edit and proofreading in UK and U.S. English with reliable turnaround times and at great value. Has managed many projects for us. Diligent, verified service.
Nikki Busch Editing Services is a boutique service that offers all of the typical editing variants and proofreading plus blurb and promotional content creation. Diligent, verified service.
Edit for Indies (Gabriella West) is a recommended and experienced copy-editing and proofreading service with affordable rates. Follow Gabriella on Twitter
Book cover designers:
Beyond Design International - Award winning graphics company with 17+ years experience specializing in elegant, eye-catching book cover designs that stand out from the competition. Follow BeyondDesignInt on Twitter.
Dan Absalonson: we've heard good things about DanDanTheArtMan's services. A committed indie-phile, Dan also works on audio books at a very competitive rate as well as producing some very professional covers at less than half the cost. Follow Dan on Twitter.
Author promo:
TweetYourBooks.com. The affordable and friendly Tweeting service for authors and writers worldwide, reaching an audience of 125,00 genuine and select followers. You get 60 tweets per day over six biblio-related accounts - cost $29 - discount when booking more than one day. Follow @TweetYourBooks on Twitter.
Free book reviewing services:
Here is a constantly updated list of reviewers who do not charge for their services. Choose those who seem suitable and request a review by contacting them direct. Bear in mind that the reviews are honest and may have some critique element in them. Reviewers may also have a waiting list.
Useful odds and ends:

http://fakers.statuspeople.com/ are useful to identify promo services that comprise mainly of FAKE followers. They allow 3 free checks but their paid service is not recommended because spurious services can bury their fakes by collecting a few genuine followers due to StatusPeople's reliance on taking relatively recent (and thus inaccurate) samples. The rule of thumb is that if a service has far more followers than they are following then they are extremely likely to be mostly fakes regardless of their diminishing faker scores:
