Editorial Services
Editing is more than just correcting grammar. A good editor is much like a theatrical director for your book… an outside eye that will make sure that your words are hitting the mark. No matter how great a manuscript is, polishing the final product can make all the difference.
Project Management and Production Editing
You write. We’ll do the rest. We will see your project through from conception to launch. We will locate and supervise the best copyeditors, proofreaders, and designers for your project, and make sure everything is pitch-perfect on opening day.
If you already have a well-edited manuscript, we can help you bring your book to completion and help you to coordinate everything you will need for a successful launch.
Developmental and Content Editing
We can help you to develop your book from the initial concept onwards, helping you to refine your ideas, working with you to bring your very best work forward. We can fact-check, fill in the gaps, make sure each of your characters has a unique voice. We will make sure you plot rolls merrily along and that your dialogue is snappy.
Copy Editing and Proofreading.
Copy editing is the next to last stage before your book is ready. A copy editor makes certain your i’s are dotted, t’s crossed, and your participles don’t dangle. A good copy-editor is a must have for your final product, and we will find the best person for your work.
The final step before formatting is proof-reading. No, you cannot do this yourself – you love your baby too much to see her flaws. A proofreader is necessary to spot what everyone else misses.
Editorial Assesment
Think ‘super Beta-Reader.’ We will carefully read and analyze your manuscript for style, uniqueness, pacing, plot, dialogue and character. We will provide you with detailed notes on your manuscript and an analysis of your competitors, niche genre and best keywords.
Consulting
You are a do-it-yourself kind of person. We applaud it. But if you need coaching to get you through the process, want someone you can call to who has already successfully self-published, we can help.
Now that your book is ready to go, you are a third of the way home. Let’s talk about publishing!
