Author Services
1. Substantive (developmental) editing
One of our most important editorial services is substantive editing. The document is evaluated, and problems of structure, organization, coherence, and logical consistency are corrected. Sentences may be removed or added. Paragraphs may be rewritten, condensed, or expanded. Blocks of text may be moved from one section to another. Key for publishing success. Turnaround time and cost determined by size of project.
2. Coaching
Particularly useful if you have an idea and can’t get started. We charge an initial evaluation fee, depending on the size of the project, and then by the hour until you get off the ground.
3. Formatting
The editor will amend document text to ensure that it complies with the required format, such as the format required by a specific journal or for self-publishing platforms such as Createspace. Turnaround time and cost determined by size of project.
4. Review
We can provide a one to two-page diagnosis of the manuscript that gives specific feedback on where the manuscript can be improved. Turnaround time and cost are determined by size of project.
5. Graphics
We can provide professional covers at a reasonable cost for self-publishing projects. Also, website design using platforms that you can modify yourself later. Turnaround time and cost are determined by size of project.
6. Ghosting
We have professional novelists and creative non-fiction authors on staff who can give voice to your project. Turnaround time and cost are determined by size of project and the talent selected.
