Editing & Publication Services


Are you an aspiring author who needs help getting your book into shape for submission? Perhaps you need help with elevating your query or streamlining your synopsis? 

Are you pursuing self-publishing and need help pulling it all together?  Editing, formatting...navigating platforms? 

With a wealth of experience in editing and publishing, I am happy to walk with you through the process!

Here is an overview of the services I offer:

Content Editing

Content editing consists of editing the book for content, plot, and character contradictions as well as sentence structure, grammar, and punctuation. To evaluate your cost, please contact me for a quote. 


Proofreading
Proofreading consists of doing a final read of the book for punctuation, grammar, and errors. At this stage, the book should be already honed for content, and only in need of a final polish. I will point out lingering content problems if spotted, within reason. To evaluate your cost, please contact me for a quote. I do offer combination content/proofreading prices.

Query/Synopsis Assistance

You've written a whole book, so this should be the easy part, right? But summarizing your "baby" in both a professional and catchy manner is often the hardest part! 

Email me your current query/synopsis, and I will walk you through whipping your query and synopsis into shape, including proofreading. 

Book Formatting 

After your book is edited, a final step in self-publishing is properly formatting your book into a professional and quality product. Both electronic and print books have different requirements.  Email me for rates. 

Publishing Assistance

Not sure how to upload your book to KDP? Need help writing the back cover blurb? Technically challenged? I'm here to help!
