Consulting for the Self-Published Author
Service Description
Get one step closer to being a published author.
Now more than ever you need a polished work. You need to capture the attention quickly, excite the senses and hold their interest till the end. You need to know the reader and pull them into your article, book or story.
I provide consulting for the author and can walk you through the steps to being self published. On the other hand I can prepare a complete manuscript to send to publishers.
I have helped others shine!
· I have edited books of inspiration, a dream book, newsletters, term papers, articles, annual reports and documents.
· I have suggested changes, corrected spelling and grammar, chosen graphics, and designed format.
· I have also coordinated all the publishing details for self-published authors such as getting an ISBN number, barcode, layout and cover designs.
· I have worked with individuals, students, authors, artists, and non-profit organizations.
Let me help you shine!
Inspire the world!

Proofreading .02¢ per word
Proofreading is for writers who do not need help with sentence structure or the content of the book itself, but need someone to simply go over the text for basic grammatical and spelling errors.
Line Editing/ Copyediting .05¢ per word
Line editing is to tie together loose ends in your manuscript and to make sure that the story flows properly, and includes corrections for poor grammar, word usage, capitalization, word breaks, tone and format. Redundancies are noted or eliminated; wordy passages are flagged or tightened; and any awkward, vague, or confusing sentences are identified or recast. Jargon, idioms, and clichés are noted and reworked to improve word choice.
Content Editing/ Substantive Editing .50¢-.75¢ per word
Content editing provides solutions for problems of overall clarity, accuracy, and information flow. Typically segments are rewritten, word choices refined, and sections reorganized. To improve readability, you may also see headings added or renamed. Involves the rearranging, deleting, adding and rewording of entire pages and chapters.
Indexing $3.00 per manuscript/proof page
Indexing provides an alphabetical list by topic and page to enable the reader to pinpoint topics of interest in the manuscript.
