🌟 200+ Five-Star Reviews 🌟 100% Job Success 🌟 Top Rated Contractor 🌟
My name is Robert, and I love working with authors, business owners, and publishers of all types. I can be the right-hand man that helps you through the entire process from manuscript to published book.
I am an expert in self-publishing and on-demand solutions for print and eBook formats with a wide range of creative and technical skills developed over 15+ years of daily publishing experience. I've worked on literally thousands of books as designer, editor, publishing assistant, and more. I'm looking forward to working on yours, too!
My Upwork feedback is a good way to see how much care, attention, and professionalism I strive to bring to every project. When you work with me, I will treat your book project like it's my own, and I will give you the honesty, hard work, and respect you deserve.
I offer the following services:
✅ Editing and proofreading
✅ Page design
✅ Print formatting
✅ Typesetting
✅ eBook conversions / eBook design
✅ Self-publishing assistance and consultation
✅ Amazon keyword/category research
✅ Reference work (citations, book indexing)
✅ Graphic work, depending on the needs
✅ Out-of-print book reproductions
✅ And more!
🗣️ Initial consultation is always free, so don't hesitate to reach out with any questions.
📖 Some more details about my many services below. 📖
🔵 Editing and Proofreading
I work on both fiction and non-fiction. Whether it's creative or technical, I have the editorial eye to help you meet your goals, improve your writing, and clean up your grammar.
Over the last 15 years, I've worked in practically every genre/niche. In the event I'm not a good fit as the editor for your book, I will always tell you the truth and help you find someone who will help you meet your goals.
🔵 Page Design / Typesetting
I can provide print interiors for any printer. This includes popular options like Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, Lulu, Nookpress, and more, but I can also help with page design needs for local and offset printers.
Page design can be handled in Microsoft Word or Adobe InDesign.
For new/independent authors, I'll often suggest we stick to MS Word so you retain easy access to your content well into the future.
For more advanced designs or when it's simply your preference, I am highly skilled in InDesign for children's books, novels, non-fiction, art books, and more.
🔵 eBook Conversions
I can produce eBooks for all retailers/distributors, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, Google Play Books, Draft2Digital (Smashwords), and more.
All eBook work includes full testing on multiple devices/apps and ePubcheck validation to ensure compliance with all retailers/distributors.
🔵 Amazon Keyword/Category Research
Proper research and implementation for keywords and categories will help Amazon index your book correctly and let's us determine the best categories for higher sales ranking. This is an important step in self-publishing and should never be skipped.
🔵 Self-Publishing Consultation and Assistance
I can help you from manuscript to publication, both in skills and in knowledge.
This includes ISBNs, LCCNs, product descriptions, Amazon Author, Amazon A+ Content, distribution options, best practices, and so much more.
I can help with all of the major self-publishing platforms: Amazon KDP, Draft2Digital, IngramSpark, Apple Books, Google Play Books, Kobo, Barnes and Nobles Nook, Lulu, and more.
Consultation-only contracts will often also include prepress reviews for print files from other contractors, eBook reviews and validations, and editorial oversight throughout the entire process to the extent desired.
🔵 Reference Work
Citations: I can take your mixed and incomplete citations/references and clean them up to conform to any style guide requested.
Indexing: I can provide full indexing for print books of any length.
🔵 Cover Design
While I sometimes work on covers, it will depend on your needs. If I'm not the right fit, I will refer you to one of my excellent colleagues instead for the sake of project times and the best end product possible.
🔵 Graphic Work
My graphic expertise revolves around print-readiness and eBook best practices, but I can often make graphic adjustments when required.
🔵 Book Scanning and Reproductions
Have an out-of-print book you want to bring back to life? I can most often help with this task from start to finish!
🔵 Do you need something book related that I haven't covered here? Just reach out, and I'll let you know how I can help you.

Self-employed for the last 30+ years, I have been editing since the mid-'90s, editing articles, books, brochures, flyers, menus, etc. I started editing when I worked for a local newspaper, then went on to own a newspaper before relocating. Now my main focus is working with authors to see their work come to fruition, which I thoroughly enjoy.
I have also written articles, as well as ghostwritten a few books for my clients. I have written nine of my own ebooks, which are in the Kindle store of Amazon and in Smashwords. I previously wrote for the Examiner website, CBS Local-Sacramento, and Believe.com.
While working for the monthly newspaper, I authored articles, edited the writers, designed all print media, as well as designed the ads for the paper.
I spent 18 months working with a multi-million dollar non-profit as their Public Relations Director where I implemented new events to promote their cause.
My objective is to find a project that is a challenge, one that causes me to reach for the stars on behalf of the one paying for the project to be done.
