DO YOU ALSO DESIGN BOOK COVERS?
Yes. Book cover design is available as an additional service. Please provide your book title, subtitle, author name, genre, trim size, and any ideas or examples you would like me to consider.
CAN YOU EDIT AND FORMAT THE SAME BOOK?
Yes. I can edit your manuscript first and format the final approved version afterward. This allows you to receive a polished manuscript and a professionally presented book prepared for publication.
DO YOU PROVIDE AMAZON KDP FORMATTING?
Yes. I offer professional paperback and eBook formatting for Amazon KDP, including proper margins, spacing, chapter styling, page layout, clickable tables of contents, and upload-ready files.
SHOULD I CONTACT YOU BEFORE ORDERING?
Yes, especially for long manuscripts or combined editing and formatting projects. Please send your genre, total word count, required service, preferred deadline, and a short sample so I can review your needs and recommend the best package.
IS THE EDITING DONE MANUALLY?
Yes. Every manuscript receives careful, hands-on attention. I review the writing closely and make thoughtful edits based on its genre, purpose, audience, and individual needs rather than applying generic changes.
WHAT TYPE OF EDITING DOES MY MANUSCRIPT NEED?
The right service depends on your manuscript’s condition. Developmental editing focuses on structure, plot, pacing, organization, and overall content. Line and copy editing improve clarity, flow, grammar, consistency, and sentence quality, while proofreading corrects final errors. Send me a sample
