I help authors create a professional book presentation across eBook, paperback, hardcover and audiobook formats, with properly prepared files, strong visual direction and practical support through the production process. Projects can be booked as fixed-price packages or custom scopes, depending on the formats, platforms and support needed. What I can help with: โ€ข Custom book cover design for eBook, paperback, hardcover and audiobook editions โ€ข KDP, IngramSpark, BookVault, Lulu and private printer file preparation โ€ข Correct trim size, spine width, bleed, color setup and export specifications โ€ข Dust jackets, case laminate covers, foil-ready layouts and premium print variations โ€ข Interior formatting for novels, memoirs, nonfiction, journals, workbooks and childrenโ€™s nonfiction โ€ข Amazon A+ Content, 3D mockups, launch graphics and promotional visuals โ€ข Author websites, book landing pages and visual direction for author presentation โ€ข Practical publishing-preparation guidance for platform setup, print options, metadata basics and proof review I work especially well with nonfiction authors, experts, consultants, coaches and memoir writers who want their book to look professional, trustworthy and competitive.

My goal is to give you a book that looks professionally designed, passes technical checks and feels ready to meet readers, reviewers, clients or event audiences.

Let's be honest. Most manuscripts don't fail because the writer lacks talent. They fail because nobody told the writer the truth. Your friend said it was amazing. Your writing group said "maybe tighten chapter three." Your mom cried at the ending, but she also cried at a paper towel commercial last Tuesday. None of that gets you published. None of that gets you reviews. None of that gets readers recommending your book at 1am to someone who should be sleeping. That's where I come in. I read fiction the way your future readers will hungry, impatient, and completely willing to put your book down if you lose me. The difference is I'll tell you exactly where you lost me, exactly why, and exactly what to do about it. Your readers will just leave a two-star review and move on with their lives. I specialize in science fiction, fantasy, and thriller, genres where pacing isn't a suggestion, world-building has to earn its word count, and readers will forgive you almost anything except being boring. What I'll do to your manuscript: โœ… Beta Reading โ€” I read it as a reader first. No editorial filter, no politeness tax. You get my real reaction, where I was hooked, where I checked my phone, where I genuinely didn't see that twist coming, and where I absolutely did. That reaction is worth more than a hundred "it's great" responses. โœ… Developmental Editing โ€” Structure, pacing, narrative arc, character consistency. If your story is a house, developmental editing checks whether the foundation is solid before we talk about the curtains. Most manuscripts need this more than they need anything else and most authors skip it entirely. Don't be most authors. โœ… Line Editing โ€” This is where your prose stops surviving and starts singing. Sentence rhythm, word choice, dialogue that actually sounds human, flow that pulls readers forward without them noticing. Your voice stays completely intact. Everything fighting against it doesn't. โœ… Proofreading โ€” The last thing standing between your manuscript and public embarrassment. Typos, punctuation, consistency errors, the word "definitely" spelled four different ways across 80,000 words. I find all of it. Every last one. You're exactly who I work with if: โœ… You've finished your manuscript and something still feels wrong but you can't name it โœ… Your beta readers liked it but couldn't tell you why the middle dragged โœ… You're self-publishing and your name is going on this thing permanently โœ… You want someone who will treat your story seriously enough to be completely honest about it What you actually get: โœ… Editorial letter with specific, prioritized revision guidance, not vague gestures at "clarity" โœ… Inline comments in Google Docs Suggesting Mode so you see every decision explained โœ… Multiple solutions per problem, because "fix this" without options isn't feedback, it's homework โœ… A reader's real reaction documented throughout, not manufactured after the fact โœ… Your voice protected at every single stage Genres: Science Fiction ยท Fantasy ยท Thriller ยท Mystery ยท Horror ยท Young Adult ยท Historical Fiction ยท Romance ยท Literary Fiction ยท Memoir Short stories to 120,000+ word novels. No cookie-cutter packages, scope and turnaround discussed per project so you're never paying for what you don't need. Most editors will tell you your manuscript has potential. I'll tell you whether it actually does, and if it does, I'll help you prove it on every page. If you're serious about publishing something worth reading, click Invite to Job or send a direct message. Tell me your genre, word count, and where the manuscript feels stuck. I'll take it from there.

Your manuscript deserves more than a Word document. I turn author drafts into professionally formatted, publish-ready books for Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, and beyond โ€” print, eBook, and full interior layout included. I specialize in helping authors and publishers handle the parts that often delay publication: editing, layout, cover design, and book marketing materials. Whether you're releasing your first book or building your author brand, I make sure every part of your project looks professional and works together. What sets me apart is end-to-end publishing support under one roof. Most freelancers handle formatting or editing โ€” I cover both, plus cover design, EPUB conversion, and promotional visuals. You don't need to coordinate five different people to get your book to market. Every formatting or typesetting order also includes a free promotional design package: a custom bookmark, book teaser graphic, social banner, or launch flyer โ€” my way of helping your book get noticed beyond the pages. A good book isnโ€™t just about the words on the page. Readers notice the formatting, the cover, the flow, and even the promotional materials before they decide to trust your work. Thatโ€™s why I offer complete publishing support from manuscript preparation to promotion. Here's what I can handle for your project: โœ” Book formatting & typesetting (print and eBook) โœ” Interior layout design for paperback and hardcover โœ” EPUB and Kindle file formatting โœ” Developmental, line, and copy editing โœ” Proofreading and final manuscript polish โœ” Book cover design (front, spine, full wrap) โœ” Book trailer creation โœ” Promotional graphics: launch flyers, social banners, author visuals โœ” Upload-ready files for KDP, IngramSpark, Lulu, Draft2Digital I work across fiction, nonfiction, memoirs, children's books, workbooks, devotionals, journals, cookbooks, and low-content projects. Tools: Adobe InDesign, Affinity Publisher, Vellum, Atticus, Calibre, Canva, Microsoft Word, Reedsy Book Editor. I pay attention to the small details many people skip: margins, page balance, chapter spacing, font pairing, trim size, bleed, paragraph styles, print specifications, and platform compliance. Those details are what make a book feel professionally published. For promotion, I also create visual assets that help your book get noticed, from trailers to flyers to launch graphics that fit your audience and genre. A strong book deserves strong presentation, both inside and outside the pages. 5-star rated on Upwork. Certified book editor and formatter (Authors Den). I pay close attention to the details that separate amateur layouts from professional ones: margins, page balance, chapter spacing, font pairing, trim size, bleed, paragraph styles, and full platform compliance. Those details are what make a reader trust your book before they read a single word. 5-star rated on Upwork. Certified book editor and formatter (Authors Den).
