Rodney GuptonAuthor of Forgiven Before You Were Born“Went above and beyond and the final cover absolutely exceeded my expectations!”
Phil GramlichAuthor of Walt & His Park: The Stories You (Probably) Haven't Heard“The team was dedicated to getting the final project right, providing as many revisions as needed. They were consistently responsive to my questions, requests and concerns.”
Nashyelli Elena HernandezAuthor of A Journey of Sunsets: An Adventurous Story of Beauty, Transformation & Discovery“This team was amazing. I cannot say enough about them. When I tell you how much they have poured into my life, you wouldn’t believe it. They were encouraging, supportive, they were patient,, and they were very respectful to what I was trying to figure out during this process. I have another project coming up, they are the one for me. I felt that we were so aligned, I was at peace when I talked to anyone member of the team. At the end of any conversation I have had with them, they all always end with some type of encouraging words. Sorry, I didn’t mean to be this long on here, but I just had to share the amazing work this team is doing. You can feel they do care when they sent an email. I think God knows exactly who I needed for this project, and He gave them. The book is now published, great job. Thank you, thank you. May God continue to bring people to you because you are doing an amazing job through your work. Lucie”
LTP HopeAuthor of When Goodbye Comes Too Early: Learning To Breathe Again Through Love and Loss“I'm a first-time book publisher, and I could not have found a better partner than HMD Publishing. They did both my cover design and the work of uploading the manuscript to Amazon KDP and IngramSpark. The team was consistently knowledgeable, professional, responsive, detail-oriented, courteous, and above all patient. I had dozens of questions as we worked through the process, and they answered each one thoroughly and without ever making me feel ridiculous for asking. My book launched two days ago, and HMD has my highest recommendation for anyone looking for professional services to help make your writing dreams come true.”
Barbara WoolardAuthor of Beyond Words: The Power of Action in a World of Thoughts and Prayers“I've worked with HMD Publishing on numerous occasions. Clearly that shows my satisfaction with their level work. I will most certainly work with them in the future as well. They are patient, and attentive to my specific needs and as always it was a pleasure.”
Jamaal C. BoyceAuthor of Investing Is The Best Thing: An Introductory Guide to the World of Investing for Teenagers and Their Parents“This was an excellent experience for publishing my first book. The team was very patient and cooperative throughout the entire process, keeping each step very clear and their words very kind. I would love to work with HMD Publishing again in the future!”
Ashlyn VaughnAuthor of Wrinkles, Rewritten: A Skin-Deep Guide to Aging Gracefully“Very professional and easy to work with.”
Avraham NacherAuthor of Geshara Mazes: Where Geniuses Get Lost“This is my second book working with them. My first experience was good. This time it was even better. Will use again for my next book. Really loved the formatting design. Very professional. Quick on replies. Great Cooperation. Fast delivery.”
Byron Headrick IAuthor of Ahead of the Curve: Strategic Foresight for the Next Decade in Public Education“I was so nervous to edit and typeset my book that it became a source of frustration. HMD Publishing put that anxiety and frustrations aside through their professionalism, excellent communication, and vast understanding of the processes I needed to get my book published and ready to sell. If you have any hesitation or concerns about the process, go with HMD Publishing.”
Chad TeagueAuthor of Onboard Like A Fraternity“HMD Publishing delivered an excellent product result in book design, and I plan to rehire.”

Highly recommend their expertise for anyone looking to publish a book!”
Danyl ChahalAuthor of The Magic Ripple: The Secret to Finding True Success“More like a 4.9! It was easy to work with the team and the cover design was absolutely fantastic! I offered inspiration and they made magic! My only complaint is the back cover design. I wanted a mix of synopsis and author bio but deferred to their expertise, even though I provided examples of what I wanted they offered their professional opinion. The delivery was a few hours past the agreed time but in the end all worked out and I am pleased with the experience and the delivered product. And I definitely feel like it was well worth the price!”

K CrabtreeAuthor of The True You 2.0 Field Journal: An Accompaniment to Be The You That’s More You Than You’ve Ever Been“Oh my gosh. I can't praise this team enough. They did a fantastic job on my journal. They were creative. They were responsive to my clarifications and did a great job of implementing my vision. The journal turned out so nicely, I hired them to redo the format/layout of the book it accompanies. You must hire them if you are considering them.”
K CrabtreeAuthor of The True You 2.0 Field Journal: An Accompaniment to Be The You That’s More You Than You’ve Ever Been“HMD Publishing truly SHINED in the Proofreading & Editing domain.

Working with them was a breeze thanks to their cooperation, quick responsiveness, and kindness. 👏”
Kashana RuthAuthor of Empower Your Faith: Practical Strategies for Women to Prioritize God, Improve Self-Esteem, and Discover God's Plan for Your Life“I am blown away by the quality of work and communication.

You will not be disappointed.”
Kay BeeAuthor of Scrubby Bub's Wetlands“This team truly paid attention to detail.”
L. KeShawn HarrisAuthor of Robbie’s First Haircut“These guys are amazing. They have exceeded my expectations. They were attentive, they responded quick to my comments or concerns. They understood my vision even better than I did. I thought I knew what I wanted, but it turned out that they knew what I was looking for. I feel as though this alignment was a divine intervention. We worked so well together and I can’t thank them enough. I will for sure hire them again for my second book or whatever other projects I may have. Thanks a million!”
LTP HOPEAuthor of When Goodbye Comes Too Early: Learning To Breathe Again Through Love and Loss“Once again, HMD Publishing has done an excellent job!

Their responsiveness made working together a smooth and enjoyable experience. Thank you!”
Marie ChristmonAuthor of Marissa's Big Day“HMD Publishing delivered what we asked for and we are happy with the end results. But there was some unnecessary anxiety in the process due to our design brief not being initially followed, requiring follow up emails. Overall a good experience.”
Paul BoultonAuthor of Helping Kids Rise and Shine: A Tapping Guidebook for Stress, Anxiety, and Bullying“Thank you so much to the HMD Publishing Team! They have been amazing throughout this entire process. I had already worked with them to get my book ready to publish on Amazon but discovered (after the fact) that publishing to PublishDrive had different technical requirements. They were on it! They converted my book to meet the more stringent PublishDrive requirements and HMD Publishing very kindly answered all of my questions regarding the process. Thanks to the HMD Publishing Team’s patience and knowledge, I no longer feel lost in this whole publishing world and look very much forward to doing it all again with them in the future!”
Renu AroraAuthor of The NO NONSENSE Guide to Pendulums: Demystifying Pendulum Dowsing and Healing for New and Advanced Practitioners“I am beyond pleased!

The job was done in less than the anticipated time, too, which was a wonderful unexpected bonus! That can only happen when working with a team that listens and actually cares. Thank you so much, HMD Publishing! I'll definitely be back for my next one!!”
Renu AroraAuthor of The NO NONSENSE Guide to Pendulums: Demystifying Pendulum Dowsing and Healing for New and Advanced Practitioners“Quick turnaround and adherence to editing requests are exceptional. I strongly recommend to others.”

Social media becomes commercially useful when the planning, production, publishing cadence, and reporting all reinforce each other. That is what turns activity into compounding brand signal.
Useful when the author brand benefits from cover-led, aesthetic, behind-the-scenes, or short-form visual storytelling content.
Best use
Best when visual identity and audience culture matter most.
Useful when the goal is commentary, expertise, business visibility, or a stronger thought-leadership position around the author brand.
Best use
Best when the author wins through ideas and perspective.
Useful when the audience needs more direct interaction, launch mobilisation, and repeat engagement around a series, niche, or fan base.
Best use
Best when the platform should deepen reader loyalty.
Process
Defining your brand voice and pillars.
Designing visuals and writing copy.
Automating posts for consistency.
Responding to comments and messages.
FAQ
Clear answers on timeline, scope, rights, revisions, and what happens after checkout.
The package can cover platforms like Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, or similar channels based on where the author brand is most likely to compound attention into audience growth.
Yes. The work starts with brand voice, recurring content pillars, and the kind of reader relationship you want to build, so the output feels aligned rather than generic.
It can support both, but the strategy works best when the role of social media is clearly defined first, whether that means community building, discovery, launch support, or moving readers into the mailing list and wider ecosystem.
Social media usually compounds over time. Early signals often show up in the first 30 to 90 days, but stronger outcomes come from consistent publishing, better positioning, and repeatable content systems.
It depends on the genre and audience — visual, cover-led platforms suit fiction and illustrated work well, while conversational platforms suit nonfiction and thought-leadership authors. We start by matching platform choice to where the target reader already spends time rather than defaulting to the same mix for every book.
The usual cause of burnout is treating every post as a one-off instead of building a repeatable system — content pillars, a realistic publishing cadence, and a calendar planned in advance. That's exactly what a managed package replaces: the planning and production happen off your desk, not on it.
That's set by the package: Author Presence covers 2 platforms, Growth Mode covers 4, and Influencer Status covers 6 — so the scope matches how much of the platform mix actually needs active management.
HMD Publishing's managed social media packages are fixed monthly prices: USD 249 a month for Author Presence (2 platforms, 12 posts a month, graphics, content calendar and monthly reporting), USD 497 a month for Growth Mode (4 platforms, 20 posts a month, custom graphics, story content, engagement management and an analytics report) and USD 797 a month for Influencer Status (6 platforms, 30+ posts a month, video content, community management, influencer outreach and strategy calls). All prices include UK VAT.
Choose the package that matches the rhythm
If you already know the author brand needs consistent content and platform support, move straight into the monthly package flow. If you still need to decide which channels deserve focus, speak to the team first.
