Every Book Is Different. So Is Every Estimate.
I help authors with as much—or as little—of the publishing process as they need. Whether you’re starting with handwritten pages, only want a simple author website, or you’re ready to produce a finished book, you’ll get detail-focused editing, thoughtful design, and practical print support—handled with care from start to finish.
Every project is unique, so pricing is based on the scope, complexity, and level of support required. Some authors need straightforward formatting and production assistance, while others need comprehensive guidance that includes editing, design, print coordination, and publishing consultation.
Before any work begins, I provide a clear, customized estimate for review and discussion, so you know exactly what to expect. My goal is to offer professional publishing support that fits your project, your goals, and your budget.
Here are just some of the services I provide:
Guidance on timelines, budgets, ISBNs, barcodes, printers, and the overall publishing process—whether a quick conversation to confirm next steps or deeper support planning your book from draft to finished copies.
The per-page rate includes basic image cleanup and enhancement necessary for print reproduction. This includes reasonable image preparation consistent with standard page layouts. Scanning of original photographs, documents, or artwork is not included. Extensive photo restoration, heavy retouching, scanning, or unusually image-intensive projects may require additional fees and will be discussed in advance.
I provide editorial oversight on every project, including careful proofreading and light editing for sentence structure, clarity, grammar, punctuation, and spelling, with consistency maintained across text, captions, notes, and references. My focus is on preparing the manuscript for publication by improving readability and accuracy while preserving the author’s voice. When a project requires developmental editing, I can coordinate and manage that work as a separate service.
Printer selection and coordination based on project specifications and budget, prepress review and quality control to identify and resolve potential issues before printing, and detailed proof review prior to press. Oversight continues through final production to address questions, confirm specifications, and help ensure consistent print quality in the finished book.
Custom typographic systems and page layouts, design optimized for readability and longevity, and complex layouts including images, captions, footnotes, maps, and tables. Guidance on publishing decisions, timelines, and production choices, and clear communication from start to finish.
Every project includes a customized, comprehensive mini marketing plan to help authors understand how to position and promote their book. Additional marketing execution or promotional design support is available but is not included in the per-page rate.
I’ll carefully transcribe your handwritten manuscript into a clean digital document, preserving your voice and creating a solid foundation for editing, sharing, and publication.
For books suited to digital formats, I provide clean, readable eBook and audiobooks, thoughtfully structured for major distribution platforms.
I can prepare your book for Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, Barnes & Noble Press, Lulu, and other platforms, ensuring files are correctly sized, styled, and exported so publishing is simple and stress-free.
Additional marketing support—such as e-commerce author website design, social media graphics, trade show materials, banners, bookmarks, and other promotional materials to support your book’s promotion.
When you’re ready, let’s talk.
