Manuscript Editing

Proper editing can often mean the difference between a good book and a great book. We offer three tiers of editing, depending on your needs: Developmental, line and copy editing.

Proofreading

Proofreading ensures that your grammar is flawless and that there are no embarrassing typos or inconsistent tenses in your manuscript. It shows that you care enough to put in the extra effort, and sets you apart from the crowd.

Custom Cover Design

The cover of a book is the single most important element when it comes to selling your book. Our design team will create a fully customized and top quality book cover that will perform well in the market.

eBook Formatting

When properly formatted, an eBook will look great regardless of the end user’s settings. We’ll format your finished manuscript so that it translates seamlessly across all viewing platforms and formats.

Paperback Production

Leveraging the power of on-demand printing, we’ll turn your finished manuscript into an attractive paperback that you can be proud to display on your bookshelf, at conventions or expos, or on the end-cap of your local coffee shop.

Audiobook Production

Audiobooks are powerful but can often be technically challenging to create. We provide high quality narration, editing, mastering and production, as well as a promotional CD image and upload-ready audiobook cover for your manuscript.

Ghostwriting

No time to write a book yourself? Our ghostwriting team has developed a custom writing process using an outline alongside recorded interviews, which we transcribe and transform into a manuscript that reads like a book in your voice.
