Overview
I offer book editing, production, and publishing services. I am experienced with every step a book takes as it journeys from manuscript to bound book, so I work with each author to design a program that fulfills their unique needs. For example, I can help if you:
- Have written a book and are not sure what to do now
- Know you want to self-publish and now need the team to do it
- Are in the midst of writing and need help getting it right
- Have had a manuscript rejected and need it fixed
- Want someone to read your book and write a report on what it needs
- Have concerns about whether the structure holds things together
- Are wondering if the content flows well
- Need someone to bring out your genius by asking the right questions
- Want to be sure you have the grammar right and the typos fixed
- Would like to ensure that your book meets professional publishing standards
