Edit the Freakin’ Book

Have you written a book? High fives!

So many people talk about it and you’ve gone right a head and done it. You rule.

Now, the next step is to make it as attractive and sell-able as you possibly can. If you’re self-publishing this is an absolute, non-negotiable necessity, you may not have the marketing budget of a big publishing house, but your book can still have exactly the same impact if you invest in the editing process. The average person buys five books a year so you NEED to make sure your book is one of them. FYI: I’m NOT the average person, I’ve been known to buy five books in a day.

As your editrix, I will wave my wand of word-y wonder to make sure your book is a deliciously attractive proposition to agents, publishers and your potential readership.

I will ask you to provide a complete manuscript in a word document via email. I will provide a full red-pen style editorial service consisting of both copy-editing and content development via the word ‘track changes’ system. I’m not the Simon Cowell of book editing, but I WILL be
honest and truthful. If I think your novel is ‘beyond saving,’ I’ll say so. I want you to succeed. I’ll then return the edited manuscript to you.

Once you’ve made any changes/additions to the manuscript, you’ll send it back to me and I will provide you with a fully-edited, spell-checked ‘send to print’ manuscript – awesome, huh?
