I wrote a book! What do I do now?
Here's where you start...
You've hunched over the notepad with pen in hand, then you sat at the computer and stared at the blank white page on the screen until blood came from your eyes. You laced together word after word, cut it up, and laced things together in new shapes until you got it just right. You've made your story, and now you're ready to make it a book. You're ready to release it into the wild and see what happens.
...but now you're faced with the question of, how the heck do I do that?!
That's what LKJ Books is here for. LKJ (a.k.a. Mia) has been an avid reader and writer for over twenty years, and she's been professionally helping other authors prep and shine their books for the world at large for nearly a decade. She is ready to help you with yours. Whether it's making a striking cover, creating an attractive and clean aesthetic for the interior, or polishing those words until they shine, LKJ can help. And even once you've sent your book out there, she can help with promotional graphics to help bolster that work.

About Mia/LKJ
What My Clients Have to Say...
Mia Darien and LKJ Books have been editing my books for eight years. I've tried other editors but always come back to Mia for the best congruity with understanding my style and bringing out the best stories that I've written. Still me but better.
We have been working with Mia for 8 years and she has done everything from simple line edits to heavy content edits that border on co-authoring. She has also helped with administrative tasks that have helped us remain consistent with several of our business goals. We are happy to have found Mia and look forward to many more years of working together.
Path To Publishing is all about literary excellence, so when it comes to interior and exterior book design for our clients’ projects, we wouldn’t think of utilizing the services of any company other than LKJ Books.
Mia has been a critical piece of my writing success over the last five years. She has edited fifteen books in two of my six-figure series. I trust her skills with each release and I've never had a reader complain about a book's editing. As an indie author, this is the cheat code for sales.
Mia has been a pleasure to work with for 7 years now. I highly recommend her for line and copyediting. She has great attention to detail and has really helped polish my finished manuscripts on projects ranging from litRPG to cozy fantasy.
I cannot recommend Mia enough! As an amateur writer, I was nervous about sharing my story with an editor, let alone the world. Mia was so kind and professional that by the end, I was excited to finally publish my work. It doesn't matter you're just starting your author journey or have a library's worth of books under your belt, Mia is the type of editor you want on your side!
I was recommended to Mia by a friend and I'm so glad he did! Mia edits with meticulous care and precision, finding mistakes and errors that most eyes would miss. Not only that, she's affordable, focused, and fast. My project was on a strict deadline and Mia came through for me without sacrificing the quality of her work (or mine). I'm beyond pleased and have already brought her on board for future projects. Need an editor? Well, look no further than Mia Darien.
LKJ Books did an incredible job formatting my project, both for ebook and paperback. The finished manuscripts are clean, easy to read, and filled with surprising little design touches that synergize with the text in a delightful way. LKJ Books is fast, meticulous, and great to work with. I look forward to working with them again!
Mia Darien was able to take my ideas to bring scenes from my stories to life as book covers and improve upon them in ways I could never have accomplished on my own. The final results are professional, eye catching, and really bring the books together as a series, and not just stories written by the same author. I would highly recommend her services.
