Supporting Writers of Young Adult Fiction & Non-Fiction

Writing for young adults is a powerful way to spark imagination, inspire change and connect with readers at a formative stage of life. Since entering the publishing industry in 2010 – and founding Fuzzy Flamingo in 2017 – I’ve worked across traditional, partnership and self-publishing models. That means that when you work with me, you gain access to over a decade of experience and a deep understanding of what makes YA books resonate.

I know the challenges YA authors face:

Crafting engaging stories that feel authentic without being overly complex.
Balancing accessibility with depth, especially when tackling real-world topics.
Navigating a publishing landscape that often overlooks bold, unconventional voices.

That’s why I offer more than just publishing services, I offer personalised guidance to help you shape your message, refine your manuscript and confidently bring your book into the world. Whether you’re writing fiction that entertains or non-fiction that educates and empowers, I’ll be by your side to help you make it meaningful and market ready.

You don’t need perfect grammar or a publishing degree to write a brilliant YA book. What you do need is a story that matters and the right support to help you tell it well. That’s where I come in – with empathy, expertise and a genuine love for celebrating authors and their work.

My package for authors of Young adult fiction & non-fiction

Publishing for a Young Adult audience is exciting, but it can feel overwhelming. Since 2010, I’ve worked across traditional, partnership and self-publishing, and since founding Fuzzy Flamingo in 2017, I’ve helped countless authors bring their stories to life. When you work with me, you tap into years of experience and practical know-how.

I understand the challenges: not fitting into publishing pigeonholes, feeling unsure about the next step, or drowning in too many options. That’s where I come in. I help you figure out what you want for your book and how to make it happen – guiding you through the process with clarity and confidence.

I’m passionate about helping authors succeed and love celebrating every milestone with them. You don’t need perfect grammar or a top grade in English to publish a great book. What you need is a compelling story and the right support to share it with the world – and that’s exactly what I provide.

Client Love From Fuzzy Flamingo’s Non-Fiction Authors

★★★★★

Jen was absolutely superb. She helped proof my book and typeset it. She also came up with a great cover and walked me through how to get the book online on Amazon. Mainly though, she was a wonderful presence during this process, and was so helpful throughout. So much cheaper than using Reedsey too. Highly recommend!

Michael Richards

★★★★★

I can’t thank Jen enough for helping me publish my first book. She is very patient and understanding, discussing the process from beginning to end, giving you the confidence to complete your publication. I’ll be using Fuzzy Flamingo’s again to publish my second book

Chris

★★★★★

Jen at Fuzzy Flamingo is absolutely amazing. I contacted her after a recommendation form a friend to look at publishing my book. Jen walked me through everything and always contactable with a day or so, which gave me so much relief. On launch day for my book, she walked with me through the day. I will be using her again for next years book.

Publishing Jargon Explained…

I understand that navigating the terminology of the publishing world can be somewhat overwhelming if you’re new to it. So, I’ve broken down each part of my packages into a little more detail. Should you have any further enquiries about How to Self-Publish Fiction, please contact me.

Cover Design for your book

Full cover design is a key feature of this package. Specifically, for printed books, this includes the front, back and spine. Together, we collaborate to craft a creative design that suits both you and your Book perfectly.

Typesetting your book

The typesetting process begins with a style proof of the initial pages, allowing you to make any necessary stylistic adjustments. Essentially, the objective is to ensure that the audience can read with ease and pleasure. Following this, the entire book undergoes typesetting, transforming your manuscript into a “proper book.”

Proofreading

Following the typesetting, the next step involves proofreading the PDF of your typeset book. This stage serves as a corrective editing service. Importantly, the overall content or the unique voice of the author remains unchanged; instead, the focus is on rectifying mistakes, ranging from minor typos to errors in formatting.

Self Publishing Fiction with Amazon KDP

From account setup and configuration, moving on to keyword research and thorough checks of the files, everything is accordingly set in place to increase your chance of reaching the Amazon Best-Seller Rankings.

Let’s Get Started Self-Publishing Your Book!

Each step, from copy editing and cover design to typesetting and proofreading, prepares your fiction book for success. With the setup for Amazon KDP expertly handled, your story stands ready to captivate your readers and gain the visibility it deserves on Amazon.

What experience do you have in book publishing?

When you choose to work with us, you benefit from over ten years of publishing experience. I have worked with authors from all walks of life, ensuring each author receives the respect and support they deserve throughout their publishing journey.

What is an ISBN?

An ISBN, or International Standard Book Number, is a unique numeric identifier used worldwide to distinguish individual book titles, editions, and formats published in print, audio, and digital mediums. For authors and publishers, acquiring an ISBN is a critical step in the publishing process, as it not only facilitates the efficient marketing and sale of their books but also enhances the book’s visibility and accessibility in the global marketplace.

What is Typesetting?

For books, typesetting can include the integration of illustrations with text, ensuring that the narrative flow is complemented by visual elements. This requires careful planning and design to balance text and images, manage page turns effectively, and cater to the target age group’s reading capabilities.

What is an imprint?

An imprint in the publishing industry refers to a trade name under which a book is published. In the context of the Book Self-Publishing Package, the optional ISBN to publish under the Fuzzy Flamingo imprint means you have the choice to publish your book as part of the Fuzzy Flamingo brand, potentially benefiting from the brand’s reputation, marketing, and distribution networks.

Can I publish my book under my own imprint?

Yes, while we offer an optional ISBN for publishing under the Fuzzy Flamingo imprint, you are welcome to use your own ISBN if you prefer to publish under your own brand or imprint.

What is the process for setting up and optimising my Amazon KDP account?

My package includes full support in setting up and optimising your Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) account. This involves configuring your account settings for optimal visibility, assisting with category selection, and advising on keywords to make your book more discoverable to your target audience.

How does the proofreading service work?

My proofreading service is an integral part of the package, ensuring your book is free from typos, grammatical errors, and other common mistakes. I will proofread your text to improve readability and ensure a professional finish.

How long does the publishing process take for Self-Publishing Books?

The timeline can vary depending on several factors, including the complexity of your book, whether illustrations are needed, and how quickly revisions are completed. I strive to work efficiently while maintaining high quality, and we’ll discuss a timeline tailored to your project’s needs at the outset.

How can I get started with publishing my book?

To begin your publishing journey, simply contact me with your book idea or manuscript. We’ll discuss your vision, the process, and how I can best support you in bringing your book to life.
