Michele DeFilippo, Founder of 1106 Design, is driven by a passion to help authors publish their books like a pro by correcting misinformation about self-publishing and offering professional guidance.

We learn about Michele’s Professional Publishing Blueprint, which includes structural editing, copyediting, cover design, typesetting, proofreading, and the final print and e-book launch. She explains how this framework helps authors produce books that meet traditional publishing standards while retaining full control over their work and royalties. Michele emphasizes that professional publishing services ensure a polished, market-ready book, allowing authors to focus on their message and audience.
