In addition to writing and publishing my own books, I love to help other authors with their work. Here are a few of the services I offer:
Copyediting
I'll review your manuscript as a whole and offer recommendations regarding its structure and organization. I will also smooth out individual paragraphs and sentences (for small changes) or will make recommendations on how you might want to rework the text (for larger changes). I will proofread as I'm editing, but depending on the number of other changes in the manuscript you might still need an additional proofread of the final manuscript. The result will be a stronger piece that speaks to your intended audience.
Price: $0.04/word
Proofreading
If you'd just like proofreading, I can do that too! I'll check for any errors in spelling, punctuation, or grammar. The result will be a polished piece with no typos.
Price: $0.03/word
Formatting for Print and eBooks
I'll take your finished manuscript and prepare it for print and ebook publication. I'll apply appropriate and consistent formatting and styles so that your files are adapted for each format and look professional and polished. The files I deliver to you will be ready for upload to the major publishing retailers.
Price: $250-$400/book
Copywriting
I can write a punchy description to be used on your book's back cover and the description at online retailers. I'm also available for any other copywriting services you might need!
Price: $60/hour
Ad Setup
If you'd like to run ads on Amazon or BookBub but aren't sure how, I can get you started. I'll provide you relevant keyword lists, targeted ad copy, and can even set the ads up in your account. I'll provide guidelines to you on how to manage the ads on an ongoing basis or I can do that for you as well.
Price: $60/hour
Newsletter Setup
Keeping in touch with your readers via monthly or quarterly email newsletters is a great way to keep them engaged. I can set up an email program in MailChimp, which would include the following: setting up your list, importing your contacts, creating a signup page on your website, designing all pages of the signup process, and designing a basic email template to match your brand.
