Why Self-publish with Falcontail Press?
Self-publishing offers writers creative control, flexibility, and direct access to readers. Without the need for traditional publishers, authors retain full ownership of their work and can shape every aspect, from cover design to marketing. What’s more, it’s often quicker than the traditional route, allowing writers to release books on their own timelines. Plus, self-publishing can be more financially rewarding, as authors keep all the income. For many, it’s an empowering choice that allows for authentic expression and a more personal connection with their audience.

Phil Gadzinski and Tony Ponton, co-authors of Govern Agility
'Carolyn Martinez loves words and how they connect, sound, and play together to create meaning. It is a joy to watch her locate the nuggets in your manuscript and assist you to add lustre. She is a writer who loves writers, and is a joy to engage with, while she encourages you to explore your story with a sensitivity born from having been edited, and from sharing the process with many emerging authors across her long career. I’m not one to colour between the lines and, like a good theatrical director, Carolyn stretched, pushed against, encouraged me to write my best without cramping my style, or blunting my enthusiasm; not an easy feat. Having attempted to assist numerous graduate students with their writing, I bow to her skill. I have worked with numerous editors and acknowledge her professionalism, wisdom and technical capability. In addition, Hawkeye involved various experts in the process to give me confidence that any critique was not idiosyncratic and may resonate with numerous readers. I have no hesitation in recommending her.'

'I completed the first draft of my manuscript and I have to admit it needed some attention and tweaking because I didn’t have the expertise to get it ready for publication on my own. Carolyn and her team guided me through the process and they respected that I wanted to learn for myself and be involved in getting that final draft ready.'
