Services

Six services. Take the whole book, or one part of it.

Every service has its own page, so you can see what it includes, how the work is done and what you finish with. Book one, or take the whole road from idea to launch.

Three ways in. Pick the one that sounds like you.

01

I Have an Idea

You have the premise, the notes or a few chapters. We help you plan the book, coach you through it, or write it with you in your own voice.

02

I Have a Manuscript

The draft is done. We edit it, proofread it, format it and design the cover and interior, so it reads like a finished book.

03

My Book Is Ready

The book is finished. We set up publishing and distribution, build the launch materials, or relaunch a book that never found its readers.

Not sure which one? Tell us where the book is now, in a sentence, and we will point you to the right start.

01 · I Have an Idea

Tell us about your idea

No manuscript needed. A few sentences about the book you want to write is enough for us to suggest a way in.

Fields marked with an asterisk are required.

The premise, the argument or the story, in a few sentences.

FAQ

Questions authors ask.

  • Can I book just one service?

    Yes. Every service can be booked on its own, and we never add anything to a quote to make it look bigger.

  • Do you work with self-published authors?

    Most of our authors publish independently. We also prepare manuscripts for submission to agents and traditional publishers.

  • Will the book still sound like me?

    That is the point of a good edit. We explain every suggested change and you decide what stays.

  • Where do I start if I am not sure what I need?

    Start with the three ways in above, or send us a paragraph about where the book is now. We will point you to the right service, even if the answer is a single one.

  • What are the four levels of editing?

    Developmental editing looks at structure, plot and pacing. Line editing works on style and flow. Copyediting corrects grammar and consistency. Proofreading is the final check for typos and formatting. Most books need some of these, not all four.
