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. More advanced graphic needs may require us to bring in a dedicated graphic designer, but often, I'll be able to find a solution for you without slowing down the processes. 🔵 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 more

When I hired her to help me publish my book, I was nervous and didn’t have a big vision for the book. I thought I would only quietly release an ebook. She encouraged me to think bigger. To dream bigger. To tell the world my story because so many people needed to hear it and not just my inner circle. Chisom guided me through the final manuscript by making sure my messages were clear, my voice and personality shined through on paper, and helped me gain confidence to know that my book was worthy enough to be published. She was simply amazing throughout the entire process. If you are thinking about writing and publishing a book and don’t know where to start or to do next, definitely schedule a consultation with Chisom. She can walk you through the process and ensure you have a successful book launch." - Ellington Darden, Author, Still Living Longer Stronger "I highly recommend working with Chisom for your book project. This was my first book project and I didn't know the end to end process of how to turn a manuscript into a published book and then to launch it on Amazon and IngramSparks. Chisom explained how it all worked and was very, very patient with myself and my team throughout the entire project. She excels at book editing, proofreading, communication and delivering a very high quality book. I would definitely use her again for any future book projects." Clement DeCrop, Author, The Idea Space: "Chisom was able to execute a super difficult, image heavy (200+) project. There were bumps in the road, but she was able to push through those challenges and deliver a great final product. If you are looking for someone to help coach you or format a book, then Chisom is your person!" I look forward to helping you create a polished, successful book from start to finish! #kindle #ebook #epub #mobi #Amazon #Smashwords #Lulu #KDP #bookdesign #printlayout #book #PDF #ebookdesign #bookpublishing #logo #Indesign #Ingramspark #eBookconversion #eBookformatting #Childrenbooks #typesetting #booklayout #illustrations

    We focus on helping authors self-publish their books. Our services include manuscript evaluation, editing and proofreading, and translations (native fluency in English and Spanish). Once the manuscript is finalized, we design (format, style and typeset) book interiors for print, code and test e-books, and create/convert book covers. We also upload files or provide technical support, as needed, for online distribution including Amazon (Kindle/KDP), Barnes and Noble, Draft2Digital/Smashwords Premium Catalogue, iBooks, Ingram Sparks, Lulu and others. File format deliverables: ePub, MOBI, KPF, PDF, RTF. For over a decade we have helped clients create legacy projects (personal memoirs preserving family histories, cookbooks, and spiritual testimonials). But our authors also cover the gamut of genres and categories including fiction (literary novels, sci-fi and fantasy, short stories and poetry collections), and non-fiction (business/legal, health and wellness, travel, and self-help guides). We occasionally also consult on other aspects of publishing and help brainstorm actionable tasks to make your book project a success.

    Hello! I am a designer specializing in all things book, especially book illustration and layout. Creating designs that will communicate your story in a simple and meaningful way is at the heart of what I do. It can be hard finding a designer who will love your book and your readers the way you do. Someone who will go above and beyond.

    I am an award-winning novelist who has published two books with a major New York City publishing house. My first novel went to auction and five publishing houses bid on it. It was also an IndieNext pick. My second book won the 2016 Beverly Hills Book Award for Excellence in Fiction. It was called "Compulsively readable" by Kirkus Reviews. It was number four on PopSugar's list of must-read books, and it was featured in USA Today. My third novel was published by Koehler Books in October, 2019. I have extensive editing, development editing and proofreading experience and have worked with acclaimed authors. I offer everything from intensive manuscript reviews to development editing to proofreading and basic editing. I am also a writing coach with more than twenty years of experience. I have worked for newspapers and magazines as a writer, editor and copyeditor. I had a double minor in college concentrating on fiction and non-fiction writing. I have lectured at writing conferences and workshops all over the country and have taught graduate-level writing courses at major universities. I conduct private writing groups as well as one-on-one coaching for writers wanting to improve their craft and create a more well-developed manuscript. I mentor high school and college students as well as writers of all ages wishing to advance their skills.

    "By far the best ghost writer I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with... My advice is to stop scrolling through Upwork right now and hire this amazing ghost-writer." "Alethea is an incredibly talented writer and really such a nice, communicative and down to earth person to work with. She has a strong vision and creativity and clearly cares about her client’s happiness with her work." Have you noticed that suddenly everyone's copy is sounding the same? AI is supposed to revolutionise the way we do business but don't believe the hype. AI may be able to work fast , but your potential clients and readers don't care how quickly you wrote something. They care about how you make them feel. They want to know you can solve their problems. They want the reassurance of knowing they're in safe hands with you. They want to know you care about getting them results. A computer can't give that reassurance. All it does is take what's already out there and regurgitate the same old, same old. How can you stand out from the crowd when you're echoing everyone else? Your clients deserve better than the same old same old - and so do you. As an experienced writer of over a decade, I know exactly how to use words to achieve the one goal all businesses care about: increasing your bottom line. I write from experience, which means I'll never give you text scraped from the internet and paraphrased. Instead, I'll create original material that brings a fresh approach to your subject. Whether you want to build a publishing house or grow your business (and I've worked with a broad range of industries), you know you'll stand out from the crowd. I'll communicate your USP so your prospective clients understands just why they need you and your services. I understand how to craft a blurb that compels someone to pick up your book. I know how to write a fiction or non-fiction book so it's unlike anything else on the market. I have the skills to put together landing pages, emails, websites, etc. that convert and support your business goals. You need to stand out for all the right reasons. I'll make it happen. Let's talk. You need the human touch. You need to show that there's a person behind your business and you're not yet another get-rich-quick, soulless company looking for the fastest route to make money. That’s where I come in. I take the time to truly understand your business and target market. You can trust me to capture your corporate image and present you in the best possible light to meet your goals. Whether you want to attract new clients, promote products or simply raise your profile, I’ve got the skills you need. I'll help you maximise the impact of your corporate copy so your business sees the results you want. My services are all tailored towards ensuring you get text that truly represents your brand. I specialise in: * Non-fiction books that establish authority and provide genuine value to the reader * Engaging, gripping fiction * Web content * Taglines / Titles * Voice over scripts * Article writing * Blogging * Creative consulting I understand the importance of consistent branding and the need to work in line with your mission statement, as well as how to effectively promote your USP to your audience. I know how to connect with your dream clients and build connection with them so you're their go-to person/business. What’s more, I have ideas. Lots of them. If you need help with a concept or theme or you just don’t know where to start, I can give you plenty of options to choose from. Don’t like choosing? Don’t worry! I’ll guide you through the process and make it easy for you to make the right decisions for your business. I appreciate how hard it can be to find just the right freelancer when the choice can seem overwhelming. I'm always available to talk you through your options and discuss your business goals to ensure you get exactly what you need first time, every time. That’s why so many of my clients keep coming back to me for all their copywriting needs. So if you want to make the right impression on your current and potential customers, click the button at the top right hand side of the page and invite me to submit a proposal to you. I'll be more than happy to discuss your project. I look forward to hearing from you!

    I assist authors with all stages of the self-publishing process, including editing, proofreading, formatting for KDP and Ingram Spark, and designing or sourcing book covers. I am a lifelong lover of literature and have been working in the publishing industry since I completed high school in 2010. I worked as the lead editor for the hybrid publishing company Lifestyle Entrepreneurs Press from 2016 - 2022 and am currently contracted by multiple publishing consultants and small publishing companies. I do, however, love working one-on-one with authors and businesspeople through Upwork when my schedule permits! I have over ten years of experience in developmental editing, copy editing, proofreading, freelance writing (articles, blogs, how-to guides, educational curriculum, and product descriptions), book cover design, fact-checking, and formatting books and magazines for various publishing platforms. I have edited fiction novels, memoirs, young adult sci-fi/fantasy novels, creative nonfiction, short stories, children's books, biographies, academic papers, and educational texts. The most common projects I work on are in the personal-development/self-help genres. In 2013, I received a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at the University of Colorado Boulder, and in 2015, I obtained my Master of Science degree in Applied Psychology from Trinity College Dublin. I have experience in using multiple style guides, including APA and the Chicago Manual of Style, in both book publishing and academic journal writing.

Outside of novel writing and editing, I also enjoy working as a professional writing coach. I specialize in deep point of view in either third person or first person close. I have also had the honor of guest-judging the Philadelphia Writer's Conference Fiction Contest, and adapting several screenplays to novels, and one novel to screenplay. Keeping current is the key to reader engagement. I'm an avid reader of contemporary fiction and perpetual writing course addict.
