Julie's editing and cover design services:

How can I help you?

     I aim to provide a positive, supportive and friendly service. (Read what my clients say.)

    My qualifications, professional experience and artistic skills enable me to:

    • copyedit your manuscript;
    • format your manuscript, upload-ready for eBook and print book;
    • design your cover for eBook and paperback sleeve.

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

        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;
        • 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 1,500 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

        Formatting happens after your manuscript has been copyedited and your 'clean' version has been proofread. It is the final stage before publication.

        I will organise the layout and transform the appearance of your book to create a Word (DOC) and PDF that is upload-ready as an eBook and/or print paperback book.

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

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

        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.
