With over ten years in the indie publishing industry, I know what goes into producing a novel. I’ve been in your shoes, and I can appreciate the work it takes to see your masterpiece come to life. I have been professionally writing since 2010. In that time, I’ve penned and published more than 30 books, including two on the writing and publishing process. When I’m not writing novels, I have a regular column on First Comics News, I run a weekly publishing podcast, and I'm the owner of Rising Sign Books, an a la carte self-publishing assistance service. I have an intimate understanding of the process and financial burden of editing, formatting, and covering a book. I've been in the trenches, so I know how to help you get through this process, so you can enjoy the thrill of holding your book in your hands. EDITING An extra set of eyes, impartial to the story, is exactly what you need in the final stage of writing to produce something for public consumption. Authors are too close to their work to see the mistakes. Our brains play a little trick on us when we read our writing. We know what we meant to say, so our brain puts that filter on as we read the brilliance we’ve slaved over. I can provide that extra set of eyes needed to catch plot holes, inconsistencies, and grammatical mishaps. There are two levels of editing every manuscript should go through before being published. Developmental—Corrects content. Content level editing that focuses on plot structure, characters and their arcs, consistency in characterization, dialogue, and believability. A developmental edit will generate considerable revisions and sometimes rewriting. Copyediting—Corrects language only. Spelling, capitalization, punctuation, verb tenses, sentence structure, paragraph lengths, echoes, word choices, & missed words. A copyedit will generate a grammatically clean manuscript. BOOK FORMATTING Layout, and design is quite a frustrating process, and each version (ebook, softcover, and hardcover) will have different layout requirements (see your printer’s FAQ’s for specifics). I can help. My book formatting services include the following: Standardizing font, paragraphs, and justifying text Copyright page verbiage Table of Contents (clickable for ebook) Active Hyperlinks (clickable for ebooks) Custom headers for chapters, acknowledgments, forwards, and dedications Drop Caps (if requested) Bullets, number lists Page Numbering Chapter starting on the right side (if requested) BOOK COVER CREATION For cover creation, I take a multi-step process to create a book design that speaks to the genre, target age range, and format the book will be delivered in. Before we begin, I will need some information from you about your specific project, so feel free to reach out and let's discuss your publishing needs. For more information about me and the author services I provide, please stop by my Rising Sign Books website, or you can look me up by name for social proof (Katie Salidas). You can read customer reviews and check out other ways to assist you in bringing your book to the market!ProofreadingLayout DesignCommentingTypesettingDesktop PublishingEbook DesignFormat ConversionBook CoverFiction WritingEditing & ProofreadingBook EditingBook - $50 hourly
