Consulting
Strong publishing processes make strong publishers.
If you’re launching a new project or looking to formalize an aspect of your publishing business that’s been going well, I’m here to help with the project management and process-building to get things running smoothly and efficiently. Alternatively, if you’re looking for a stronger editorial brand, I have extensive experience in creating customized in-house style guides.
Writing
Ghostwriting and copywriting services bring your ideas to life.
Do you know what you want to say but don’t have the time or expertise to get your ideas down on paper? As an award-winning writer, I’m here to help with ghostwriting and copy writing services. I’ve produced content for a wide range of purposes, including marketing and communications, business and technical reports, and memoirs and biographies.
Development editing
Development editing shapes your content so that it reaches its full potential and has the greatest impact.
These services involve identifying the most effective structure for the content and delivering it in the most powerful and effective way. A thorough review from a professional development editor can help trim non-essential content, identify areas that need further expansion, and mold it so that every piece of the puzzle fits together seamlessly.
Line editing and copy editing
Line editing and copy editing involve cleaning up mistakes and inconsistencies.
These levels of editing involve much more than correcting typos and grammatical errors. We go through the text line-by-line, word-by-word, to help rephrase awkward sentences or paragraphs, smooth out transitions, identify patterns of word usage, and ensure that every word adds to the overall end product.
Layout and production
Layout and production services bring your content in its final form, so that it is ready for delivery to printers or online distributors.
Make sure your content looks clean and professional when it goes into publication, creating an aesthetically pleasing reading experience. This service often also involves recreating or cleaning up any images, charts, or graphics that appear in the content. Using InDesign (for a print version) or working directly within the code (for an e-book or digital version), we ensure that every page looks just right and adheres to the highest industry standards.
Cover design
An attractive cover can make all the difference in whether readers decide to pick up a book or move on.
First impressions are everything. We help create a cover that fits with genre norms, appeals to readers and conveys the spirit of the book. This could involve working to a specific brief, or helping on a more conceptual level, to get you the best possible cover whether you have a specific concept in mind or are seeking inspiration.
