How I can help you

If you have written a book and are unsure of the next step, or need some help, talk to me. I will help you make your writing shine and your manuscript look professional, whether you intend to self-publish or approach a publisher.

​​I provide a comprehensive publishing service for non-fiction books in all subjects.

​​Copy-editing is enhancing the writing to ensure the readers receive the intended message or story in the style that you prefer.

Proofreading is correcting mistakes to ensure that there are no errors that could detract from the published book and that the manuscript looks polished and professional.

e-Book Design is converting your Word document into a custom-designed e-book file for you to upload to digital distribution platforms.

Localisation to New Zealand English is converting American, British, Australian or other English into New Zealand English, taking into account our local culture and values.

​​Rest assured your ideas will be clearly, effectively, and professionally​​ communicated to your readers.
Marja was positive and inspiring. She kept us up to date on the entire creative process. We would highly recommend her to anyone seeking further assistance in their endeavour.

International

I am based in New Zealand but cater to clients from around the world. ​I can edit your manuscript in New Zealand, Australian, British or American English, depending on your preference and target audience. 

And if you are not a native English speaker, I can help you make your writing sound fluent to the native English ear. I understand the difficulties of writing in a non-native language.

All quotes and accounts are in New Zealand dollars, which is converted to your own currency based on the exchange rate on the day of invoicing and paid through my PayPal account.
