Are you working on publishing a book and need an editor to help refine the work? We are here to help you edit your manuscript, do a developmental edit, check for spelling and grammar while allowing for poetic license, and offer ways to improve what you want to say.

Author Consulting Services
Author consulting or author coaching is when you meet with an experienced publisher to talk about the road ahead to get your book published and what changes you can make for your project to be successful.

Others are coming to the end of the writing stage of their books and are unsure on how to proceed from there.
