Editorial and Design Services


Editorial Services

  • Developmental Editing

    This is the “big-picture” edit. It focuses on the structure, content, and overall flow of your book. I assess elements such as plot, pacing, character development (for fiction), clarity, and message consistency (for nonfiction). I offer suggestions to strengthen the core of your manuscript.

  • Line Editing

    Line editing focuses on how effectively your words convey your message. I revise sentence structure, word choice, and tone to enhance clarity, flow, and style. This process isn’t about correcting grammar—that comes later—but about refining your voice and improving readability.

  • Copyediting

    Copyediting catches grammar, punctuation, spelling, syntax, and consistency issues. It ensures your manuscript adheres to standard writing rules and style conventions, helping it look clean and professional.

  • Proofreading

    This is the final polish before publication. I catch small errors that slipped through earlier rounds—typos, punctuation errors, and formatting inconsistencies—ensuring your manuscript is publication-ready.

Design Services

  • Book Cover Design

    Custom-designed cover that visually reflects your book’s genre and message. This includes the front cover, spine, and back cover (for print) or a standalone cover for digital formats. Includes image sourcing, typography, and layout.

  • Manuscript Formatting

    I prepare your manuscript layout for publication (digital and/or print), using standard fonts, headings, spacing, margins, page numbers, and styles appropriate for your chosen publishing platform (e.g., Amazon KDP, IngramSpark).

  • Author Logo Design

    A custom-designed logo that reflects your personal brand as an author. It can be used across your website, social media, and marketing materials to build brand recognition and convey professionalism.
