Author Services

The Noons Nook isn’t a traditional publishing house. I’m not a big industry professional — I’m just someone who learned the ropes the hard way, did tons of research, and figured out how to navigate self-publishing without losing my mind (or wallet).With the help of AI tools (and a lot of trial and error), I now help other indie authors polish their books, set up their own publishing accounts, and feature their stories here in The Noons Nook alongside mine. Think of this as a cozy little book boutique — part store, part author workshop, part reader hangout.

✨ Bottom Line

A publisher takes over your book.
The Noons Nook helps you take charge of your own book — and gives you a cozy little boutique where your story can shine.
