About Us

LitLaunch is what happens when two authors put their minds to creating the service they wished they’d had growing up as indies. We’re E A Carter (a multiple award-winning, Amazon #1 bestselling author, editor, and copywriter) and Laurie Wright (best-selling international children's author, and marketing strategist), and we're not just in the business of launching books; we're in the business of launching dreams!

Editing, Interior Print Design, & Publishing - E A Carter

E A Carter brings a wealth of writing, editing, and self-publishing experience to the team. A fiercely independent author, she believes indies enjoy a far better quality of life when they are in control of their story, cover design, and marketing.

For two years before she self-published her first book, she worked through three major structural edits with her professional editor and mentor, Katherine Stansfield who’s also an award-winning author, Royal Literary Fellow and poetess signed at the same London agency as Kazuo Ishiguro.

Since 2017, E A continued to work with Katherine and self-published four more books, each winning book awards from top Indie contests like the Writer’s Digest Self-Published ebook Awards. Her experience in designing her own interior print and ebook templates means no detail is overlooked, and readers often are surprised to learn her books are not published by a traditional publisher.

She has been featured in Female First magazine for her book The Lost Letters, in Writer’s Digest for I, Cassandra and interviewed as an up-and-coming sci-fi author to watch by Savage Planets Magazine who feature interviews with sci-fi greats like Andy Weir and Greg Bear.

E A Carter is proud to be a Partner Member of Alliance of Independent Authors.
