Welcome to the services page.
On the side of my author pursuits, I perform author services on the side to keep the lights on, so to speak. The projects that I don’t personally fulfill, I work with associates in the field.
I’ve assembled a team of highly qualified individuals to offer you a range of writing services for your projects. Put together, it represents decades of professional experience. You’ll only ever communicate with me as your contact.

Our proofreading service scours your manuscript for pesky errors that might otherwise be missed. It addresses and corrects grammar and spelling errors only, so it’s not a replacement for a full editing service, but it’s the most cost-effective service on the editing spectrum. Corrections are made on a line-by-line basis, as needed.
Copyediting lends a professional eye to your words, correcting grammar errors and spelling errors while improving sentence structure, clarity, organization, style, and consistency by making changes to the wording where needed. Corrections are done on a line-by-line basis, as needed.
A manuscript evaluation gives a bird’s eye view on what your book needs more or less of. We’ll read the book cover-to-cover and write up a 2-5 page report on the strengths and weaknesses of your manuscript in an overview rather than line-by-line responses.
Book coaching analyzes a story’s strengths and weaknesses. It’s designed to improve a short story, novella, or novel, increasing its marketability through discussions about the book’s goals, focus, characterization, description, world-building, and plot. Comments are made on a line-by-line basis, as needed.
Other than the cover, nothing is more important than your book’s blurb. It’s what captures the reader’s attention and is a great way to make your book distinct from your competition. Let us coach your blurb into being its best.
