Ghostwriting
Have a great idea but no time to write? Have talks, podcasts, or knowledge that you want to publish, but want someone else to handle the transcription? Or are you in the middle of a book and need it finished? I can get you a complete book.
I have great respect for authors, and I take pains to master your voice and ensure that it’s your inspiration that gets formed into a written manuscript. We’ll meet together as much as it takes, going through as many revisions as needed to get it identical to what you’ve envisioned.
If you’d like to go further, beyond the first manuscript, I can stay with you and offer self-publishing consultation and coordination.
Editing
Have a more-or-less complete manuscript and need it refined? I’ll take a look however broadly or specifically you’d like.
For a developmental edit or a line edit, I’ll read your book over and suggest changes to structure, tone, writing style, and progression to ensure that your inspiration has been fully realized. I’ll make all of the changes you’re comfortable with, always with your approval.
For a copyedit, I’ll check any sources, create footnotes or a bibliography, check formatting, refine grammar, and add any typographical, stylistic, or formal information you’ve missed.
If you’d like to continue after this to the full product, I can stay with you and offer self-publishing consultation and coordination.
Proofreading
Need a final pass of a book that’s almost ready to print? I can read through and check for all errors, marking exactly what needs to be changed to get everything coherent, consistent, grammatically sound, typographically appealing, formatted correctly, and cited properly.

Self-publishing consultation
and coordination
Want to get your book published and getting vertigo from the options and steps you feel are most important? I can help with that.
This service is flexible and depends completely on you and what you need. I’ll use my experience wearing many hats in the publishing world to help you navigate the industry, whether you’d like to publish completely on your own, find a hybrid publisher, or go the traditional route.
I’ll meet with you as many times as necessary to see exactly what you’ve done so far and where you’d like to go, in order to advise you on how to get there. I won’t publish your book myself — I’ll help you get it published in whatever form you like.
Along the way, I’ll act as your informal agent, connecting you with anyone else who could help you see the process through. I’ll also secure an ISBN and coordinate with a printer. You’ll get all the services you want, whether from me directly or through someone I trust. And I will never talk you into anything unaligned with your vision or desires.
