First, read what my clients say.

Whichever of these 3 options you require, I work freelance to provide a professional, positive, supportive, and friendly service to:

• copyedit your manuscript;
• format your manuscript for paperback and/or eBook.
• design your cover for eBook and paperback sleeve.

**************************************

COPYEDITING

Have you finished your story? Have you substantively edited your writing to the best of your ability? Have you shared your manuscript with others? (e.g., family, friends, beta readers, or critic partners?) Have you acted on feedback to make necessary developmental improvements?

Then congratulations!  Your manuscript sounds like it's ready for copyediting.

Copyediting deals with the line-by-line structure of your writing. This process:

• picks up errors and inconsistencies in spelling, grammar, tenses, punctuation and syntax;
• improves sentences so that they flow better;
• substitutes weak or redundant words, phrases and sentences with powerful or more appropriate alternatives;
• restructures sentences for improved clarity (unnecessary repetition, telling vs. showing, passive voice, dialogue punctuation/tags);
  
• makes your writing more efficient and accurate, while respecting your style and voice;
• includes extensive in-line comments and suggestions, as well as honest and inciteful feedback, to help you improve your writing.

TRY ME FIRST: Find out if I am the right editor for you. I will edit and return your first 1500 words, along with general feedback and editorial comments. This way, you don't pay anything until you are sure you want to go ahead and use my services! Interested? Just complete the 'EDITING ENQUIRY' and tick the 'COPYEDITING - I'D LIKE TO TRY YOU FIRST' box.

FORMATTING

Have you proofread the final, 'clean' version of your manuscript? Are you ready for the final layout stage?

Then fantastic! It sounds like you are ready for formatting - the visual preparation before publication.

I provide a formatting service for self-publishing authors. I will organise the interior layout of your book to make it print-ready as a finished paperback (PDF) and/or upload-ready for digital distribution as an ebook.

I will format your finished manuscript, even if another editor has already copyedited and proofread it.

COVER DESIGNING

The cover of your book is an important marketing tool. It is the first thing that your potential readers see. I craft all covers without using AI tools. My covers are individually created to match the style, genre and target audience for your story.

My single price includes the artwork for both an eBook cover AND print book sleeve.

Browse through some examples of my commissioned and sample cover designs HERE.
