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.

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. 🖥️ Software Skills 🖥️ ✅ Microsoft Word ✅ Microsoft Excel ✅ Adobe InDesign ✅ Adobe Acrobat Pro ✅ Adobe Illustrator ✅ Adobe Photoshop ✅ Affinity Publisher ✅ Sigil ✅ ePubcheck ✅ Calibre ✅ PublisherRocket (KDPRocket) ✅ TEXtract (indexing) ✅ Kindle Create ✅ Irfanview ✅ Canva ✅ And much more!

You want to speak to the right audience, improve your brand message and get the massive returns you've worked for? You need something 90% of marketing professionals can't deliver. You want results. Here are testimonials from results I've created. "Hailey was very professional and such a pleasure to work with. She helped me redesign and launch a website at my organization, twice. Hailey was very responsive and always very helpful." -Christopher Dukes, Providence "She clearly defined and implemented my marketing strategy and website design. Forever thankful!" - Natalie, Moon Baby Yoga & Doula Services Hello and welcome to my profile! I'm Hailey Dorthalina. I am a Marketing Professional, Graphic Designer and Artist. I specialize in: *Logo and Branding Design *Website design *Email Marketing *SEO *Competitive Research *Using Design to Create Conversion *Boosting Marketing *Increasing Sales When you choose me as your go to teammate, you are gaining these skills: 1) I focus on BENEFITS, not details: Most digital marketers don't sell benefits. Benefits matter. Poor marketers provide stale copy and content that audiences scroll right on by...then politely ask for a paycheck. That doesn't convert or attract. What attracts your audience are benefits. I sell your benefits and your benefits sell your product, course or service. 2) I create COMPETITION, instead of keeping up with content production: Our screens are spammed with bad content designed to stand out. Good design can be created efficiently and be well done. Good design is accessible. Accessibility in marketing does not have to be boring. Accessibility can be created through contrast. I create content that positions you as a distinct competitor and gets you in the lead. 3) I am as LOYAL as a golden retriever. I carry with me the phrase, "The customer is always right". I am determined to meet your requests and needs in a timely manner. My extensive client service background is at ALL levels. I know how to manage a team and also be an eager, entry-level team player. If you are tired of cookie-cutter marketing plans, lack-luster services and unreliable contractors then give me a shout. I am the pug meme in a sea of basic selfies. Find out why. Sincerely, Hailey D.
