Overview
I can help polish your project from the ground up, offering assistance should your goal be self-publishing or finding an agent/publisher. I've experience in most every genre, and I understand maintaining an author's voice and vision, while sharpening and honing the prose and presentation. It's my job to enhance YOUR book and make it shine.
I specialize in fantasy, horror, dystopian, sci-fi, and LitRPG, but have experience in all genres. (No single short stories, please, but collections are fine.)

I have worked with some of the biggest names in fantasy and horror, to include Mark Lawrence, Carol Berg, Laura Resnick, Larry Correia, Michael J. Sullivan, James Swallow, Gini Koch, and many more. Lots of experience in most every genre, as well as practical experience in query writing and back cover matter. I also charge well below market rate for excellent work.

“Dominion Editorial were an absolute pleasure to work with. They tolerated my pestering with aplomb (or maybe it was a plum) and got the job done in spite of my ridiculous deadline. Sure, they don’t love semicolons quite as much as I do, but that can be forgiven.”
– Michael R. Fletcher, author of the Manifest Delusions series
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Tim Marquitz has a writer’s eye for the kind of structural issues and minutiae that tend to slip past most proofreaders. He’ll work a manuscript till it’s lean and mean.”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

– Andrew Rowe, author of Attuned
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Dominion Editorial’s process was easy and they made sure to explain it before they got started, offering to answer any questions I had before and after. Along with basic spelling and grammar corrections, they pointed out anything that needed work and offered a thought on how to make it better. Once I got the notes and started working through them, they even dropped me a message to see if I was doing okay with them and if there was anything I needed further help with. And if all of that wasn’t enough, they offered some very supportive thoughts on the story as a whole, going so far as to say it’s a ‘great story.'”
-Ashe Armstrong, author of Grimluk, Demon Hunter
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“A consummate professional and communicative, my experience with Tim Marquitz resulted in a manuscript that was made better by leaps and bounds. Issues were identified with thoughtful observation that was paired with quality suggestions for improvement. I cannot speak highly enough of Tim’s editing abilities, so much so that I would recommend any author looking to get their manuscript ready to go to him first. Every cent spent was worth it!”
– Jay Requard, author of Jishnu
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“What I enjoyed most about Tim’s edits on Galefire was the focus on making the piece an overall smoother read and his input on clearing up character inconsistencies and plot confusion. That kind of accurate (if sometimes brutal) honesty is hard to find, and Galefire is a tremendously better book because of it. Thanks, guys!”
– Kenny Soward, author of the Gnomesaga and Galefire
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“I want to thank Tim Marquitz for his work on my novella. His editing on my manuscript helped to create the finely-tuned story I am proud of today. His professional attitude, quick communication and attention to detail are second to none, and I’d recommend Dominion Editorial services to anyone seeking help with formatting and editing.”
– Fiona Dodwell
