Let's Get Started
Do you have someone to tell you the hard truth about your writing - what's golden and what isn't working? Serious authors make use of experienced resources that provide ongoing accountability along with honest and detailed feedback early in the writing process.
STRUCTURAL EDITING Detailed feedback on language, style, plot and consistency. LINE EDITING Readability, vocabulary, & dialog. COPY EDITING Mechanical elements: spelling, grammar and punctuation.
The transition from creating to perfecting should include the help of a professional editor. Most writers find it's very difficult to edit their own work and bestselling authors develop a working relationship with an editor who comes to understand their style and standards.
PROOFREADING We scour the manuscript with a fine-point pencil looking for typos, TOC/Index accuracy, format consistency, poor hyphenation and more. We can help with front-/back-matter content.
Finally the book is complete, but the masterpiece must be prepared for publishing before it is available to the public. Errors often creep in as the book is formatted for publishing. Authors may also be responsible for an introduction, the index, a bio and the back cover text.
We help with your marketing efforts: Edit a cover letter or write a press release. Create blurbs and book summaries. Write an Author Bio. Develop blog/social media content.
Most authors will not have a 'publicist' to promote their book. In today's world, authors are required to provide enticing blurbs and charming bios for Amazon, as well as all the ancillary marketing copy for promotional materials and posts to the web, blog, and social media.
Quotes are customized to your specific project and budget. Depending on your needs, we can propose rates as hourly, by page, or by project. Learn more...
