“To my marketing manager, Jocelyn Godfrey, for your advice, your expertise, and your support. This book exists because of your relationship-building capabilities and marketing savvy. You bring joy to my work.” –dedication in Stop Workplace Drama, book by Marlene Chism
A book is not only a major lifetime accomplishment and means of sharing your story or philosophies with others, but it can also help tremendously to increase your revenue and exposure if you already are speaking or have a platform.
Do you need help fleshing out a book idea? Or do you have a manuscript you need to have read with a deep eye for where it can be improved? We provide editing, ghostwriting, and publishing services from start to finish. You will have personalized contact with our president along the way, who serves as project manager. Here are some details on publishing services provided; or contact us for a specific quote that will cover exactly what you need, or a free 1,000 word sample of our editing style:
Stage 1: Content Editing:
After an initial consult to define your desired direction, this involves reading your material deeply and intuitively, with a mind for major and minor improvements. You will receive your manuscript back with detailed comments, and changes in “track changes” so you can approve or reject them. Our content editing services are renowned. This also includes Stage 2 (copy editing/proofing).
Approximately $0.03-$0.06/word
Stage 2: Copy Editing/Proofing:
Once the manuscript content is in place, this phase involves line by line reading for accuracy before it goes to the printer, or when it appears in proof form (because mistakes can sometimes enter as the manuscript changes hands to designer, printer, etc.).
Approximately $0.01/word
Ghostwriting:
If you aren’t sure how to write your story, let us help you. We can record interviews with you, utilizing any written material you already have, and put it into book form. You will be the author. Contact us for a quote.
Layout/Cover Design:
Once your manuscript is done, we can help you lay it out and provide a cover design. Contact us for a quote.
Self Publishing Startup Package:
We will obtain your ISBN, barcode, Amazon placement, and everything you need to sell online. We will also provide you with a short author bio, and book description for marketing purposes. (Actual book editing separate.)
$300 (plus any expenses charged for actual materials such as ISBN).
Publishing Agent:
We can help you prepare your manuscript for a major publisher, and secure your contract.
