One of the main reasons I started this platform was to help other Caribbean authors take their books from first draft to published at an affordable price.⠀
There are lots of ways we can help you along your writing journey.
We offer Book Planning and Consultancy Services to guide first-time authors through planning, writing, editing and self-publishing their very first book.
Editing and self-publishing services are also available for authors looking to fine-tune their work and send it out into the world and much more.
“I am the proud author of the second edition of UMPH, a guide, workbook and journal for emerging writers. Ms Latoyaa Roberts-Thomas was instrumental in this process. With her help, I was able to successfully publish the kindle version of UMPH on February 8, 2021. I originally sought her expertise to edit UMPH, however, Latoyaa guided me by sharing her knowledge and experiences about the nuances of publishing and marketing in the Caribbean Basin. Thank you Latoyaa for going above and beyond.”

Joshua Stewart,
Marketing Consultant at Vivid Consultancy
“I found Latoyaa Roberts on my Facebook whilst searching local authors. Upon pursuing her, she told me that she also provides professional services for first time authors. Immediately that information became useful to me, Latoyaa answered all my questions even the ones I did not ask, she was both professional and patient. She has worked with me on my passion project for 6 months up to the launch of my first book and I am completely satisfied. Latoyaa listens as well as makes suggestions, allowing you the opportunity of inclusion. Recommending Mrs Roberts is an honour and a privilege that I will always endorse.”
