Development Edits

I’ll read your book and return with detailed feedback about what’s strong, what’s weak, and how to make it better. Choose from three different levels depending on your price-point.

Basic - After reading your book, I’ll give you a detailed editorial letter and we can discuss via a video call (limit 2 hours). Cost of $0.016 per word.

Standard - You get the editorial letter and line-by-line editorial comments as well. This is a great way to fine-tune the troubles away. Cost of $0.022 per word.

Deluxe - The editorial letter, the line-by-line report, the video meeting, and I’ll handle one round of revisions as well. So, once you’ve worked on the book some more, I’ll re-read the parts you’ve changed and we’ll discuss how it’s going. Cost of $0.033 per word.

Blurb WRiting

Having trouble writing your blurb? Don’t know where to start? Wondering if your blurb is good? I can help you just as I’ve helped so many others.

 Just give me a summary and I’ll come back with a quality blurb that you can use as is or as a jumping-off-point.

Starting at just $100 for a 250 word blurb.

Don’t be afraid to ask for short and long versions (for platforms like IngramSpark.)

Quick Consult

Writing can be a lonely art and sometimes we all need a bit of perspective. Preferably an experienced professional perspective. If you’re stuck, beating your head into a wall of words, or wondering if it’s all just bad (or shaking your fists at the gods crying, “why won’t it be good?!”) then give me a try.

We can connect up and I’ll listen, I’ll bring my years of expertise to the table, and I’ll do my best to get you unstuck. Oh so many times we just need help seeing the forest again.

The cost is $75 for the first hour then billed in 15 minute intervals after that. We can talk as long as you like. (I will need a synopsis of your story beforehand, please. It saves us both time.)

Commercial Audit

Writing the passion project of your heart is one thing most authors have in common. Creating the commercially viable form of such is not. My own company has published 15 titles with over 500,000 units sold so I know a thing or two about how to blend art and commercialism.

Whether you’re working on book one and worrying “is this going to sell?” or if you’re mid-way through a series that isn’t selling, let me take a look.

I’ll go over your author presence online, read your book summaries, and home in on the wonky bits. Then we’ll discuss what I found, how to fix any problems, and what you can do improve sales. Cost $250.
