Publishing ​​Services

Copy-editing, Proofreading and e-Book Design

​Let me help you prepare your book for publishing.

​I provide a comprehensive copy-editing, proofreading and e-book design service. I work with non-fiction and fiction books across genres.

Whether you are self-publishing or you need help getting your book ready to approach a publisher, I will work with you to make your manuscript the best it can be. From a full copy-edit of your book to just checking spelling and grammar, I can help. 

I will work with you to make sure your writing flows, makes sense, and sounds as you intended it to, as well as check that the spelling and grammar is correct and that your manuscript looks professional. ​

And if you intend to upload your book as an e-book, I can convert your Word document into an e-book file which can be uploaded to Amazon Kindle, Kobo and more. I will produce an ​e-book that rewards the care you invested in writing it, and that you and your readers will love.

​First-time writers
If you are a first-time writer, no problem. For many of my clients this is the first time they have worked with an editor or had to navigate the publishing industry. I will take the time to explain the process and point you in the right direction to get you on your way to publishing your book.
