✅ Self-publishing assistance and consultation
✅ Amazon keyword/category research

🗣️ 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.
