An Exciting New Venture
Services for Indie Authors
(NOTE: So happy to share this news from Don Massenzio, introducing his new editing and formatting business. Hope you’ll all keep him in mind for your editing needs, and will share this news with your friends. Thanks!)
DSM Publications offers Editing and Formatting services to Indie Authors with advice and networking with other authors.
As Indie Authors, we are all in this together. Every day we make gains on the traditional publishing market.
One of the ways that we can accomplish even more is by making sure that the work we produce is of the highest quality possible to help alleviate the stigma that has been cast upon us by the traditional publishing world.
It has been my mission to help other indie authors realize a high level of quality while alleviating the tedious tasks of editing and formatting by sharing the experience I have picked up along the way. I’ve done this, for the past three years, through informative posts on my blog, promotion of author books and over 200 author interviews. I will continue to do these things on my author web site, but now I’m taking it one step further.
I am so excited to launch this new venture. Throughout my career, I have enjoyed editing documents and making them look professional. I have been working with word processing programs since the old Xerox XPS WYSIWYG system of the 1980s through Multimate, Word Perfect and Microsoft Word.
The thrill of seeing a document come together and look like something professional never gets old for me. Whether it’s my own book or one that I help another author finalize, I take a great deal of pride in producing that finished product.
That is why I’m so excited to officially launch DSM Publications as a service provider for authors. I know the struggles and challenges that Independently Published authors face because I am one. With 10 published books, so far, I’ve made nearly every mistake as I’ve learned the steps necessary to create a final product that I’m proud of.
I’ve collected all of this experience, along with my decades of editing business publications, into a process that is repeatable and efficient.
I want to help my fellow authors reach a level of quality that will make them proud of their work and put it on equal footing with the product coming from the traditional publishing path.
I hope some of you will consider joining me as I launch this venture. I’ve been editing books for others as I prepare for fully committing to this business. I feel like I’m ready to jump in with both feet.
My goal with DSM Publications is to offer cafeteria-style services to indie authors at a reasonable price.
I truly enjoy this kind of work while I help you on your writing journey.
I hope you’ll help me make this new venture a success.

Marcia, I wish you happiness and success with your new venture, may DSM Publications fly with confidence.
Who knows, maybe one day I will consider this route too. To publish a book I mean.
I do like your logo.

Thanks, Miriam, but this is Don Massenzio’s new venture. I’m so sorry if the title of the post didn’t make that clear. The post was written by Don, and shared by me. But I’m sure he’d be pleased to know you wish HIM well. And I agree on his logo. Very nice. I will go back and add an introductory line to be sure there’s no more confusion. 🙂

Marcia, it is just me not taking in the details in the beginning, just reading on.
So yes, Don, congratulations and all the best to you.

That’s okay, Miriam. It was my oversight! I intended to put a comment in when I posted and forgot. That’s the kind of thing that many of us do, so it’s better to clarify at the start, and now it’s done! So, thanks for the reminder! 😀 😀 😀

Thanks, Tina, but it was really my pleasure. That’s what this blog is supposed to be about. Writers Helping Writers. I’m always happy to share when I can, though I know I slowed down a bit over the last few months, as we tried to dig (in some cases, literally) ourselves out from under the hurricane damage. The good news is, I’m gradually catching up, and hope to share many more updates from my fellow writers, including promos, new releases, etc. I enjoy it! 🙂 ❤
