Services

Whether you need help developing your manuscript, a final proofread, or someone to guide you through the entire self-publishing process, I offer a range of editorial and publishing services that can be used individually or combined to suit your needs.

You may already have some aspects of the publishing process covered, or you may be starting from scratch. We'll discuss what you want to achieve, your budget, your timescale, and work out which services would be most useful to you and which you can comfortably undertake yourself.

Most importantly, you remain in control of your project, with as much or as little professional support as you need.

How we work together

We'll start by discussing your project, usually by email so that we both have a written record of our discussion. This helps me to understand what you're hoping to achieve, and your priorities, budget and timescale.

I'll then put together a no-obligation quotation, outlining the work I recommend and what it would cost. (See my ballpark rates here.) You can decide how you'd like to proceed.
