Why you Need a Publisher?
If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur.
The role of a publisher is more wide-ranging than most would think. A publisher will make sure your content is available in every potential outlet worldwide. Authors who attempt this themselves tend not to reach the market as widely. Through the process of careful selection, editorial input and marketing, publishers are turning undiscovered talent into international success stories.

Developmental Editing
Developmental editing refers to editing that aims to improve the content and structure of a manuscript. Developmental editing is very different from proofreading and copyediting, which only ensure that a manuscript’s grammar, punctuation and spelling are correct.
By contrast, developmental editing takes on topics such as pacing, plot, characterization, and setting. There are no set rules to abide by; instead, the developmental editors draw upon their instincts, experience, and lifetimes of heavy reading to help a manuscript reach its fullest potential. Developmental editors are close to authors.
Ghostwriting
A ghostwriter may be the main or partial writer behind a book, but they are not the author. They are hired to carry out the vision of their client, and their main concern is with satisfying that client.
Ghost writers are writers for hire who take money but none of the credit for the work produced. The original writer, or author, is hiring the ghost as a freelance writer to produce copy writer work for a fee. The author takes all the credit for all the original work produced, including all the original writing produced by the ghost writer.
Writing Coaching
Do you have a desire to write, but perhaps you find yourself frustrated by an inability to develop or organize your writing, or perhaps you’re getting bogged down in the process? You need a writing coach.
A writing coach is like a personal trainer for a writer. A writing coach helps the writer develop a clear and compelling premise or plot, determine a tone, style, and voice based on the intended audience, and produce a coherent, captivating narrative, whether fiction or nonfiction.
