Background

A writer chose a local company solely for convenience after conducting a brief search.

The Problem

She learned that the company only did printing, meaning she would need to find other companies for editing, designing, and distributing services, which she had assumed would be covered.

The Solution

She broadened her search area and found a full-service company that was more appropriate for her needs.

The Result

She suggests that writers should check the services provided before taking for granted the "publishing houses near me" results.
