We offer uncomplicated, affordable editing options for authors to help you tell your story your way. We specialize in romance, fantasy, and erotica, but we do consider other genres. We typically refer to The Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS) for editorial guidelines.
Proofreading
When we proofread your manuscript, we’re not just looking for typos and punctuation problems. We make sure your timelines aren’t tangled, your dialogue doesn’t confuse who’s talking—anything that might distract the reader from your story. We give every project two passes so we can be confident any mistakes have been caught, and you can too. Proofreading is an essential step before formatting your book.

Book Formatting
One thing you can't do when publishing a book is simply plop a Word document into CreateSpace or Lightning Source and be done with it. Your manuscript needs to be formatted properly for publication, whether for print or for digital files compatible with e-book readers like Kindle and Nook.
Our Standard Formatting makes your book look like a book, with clean text blocks, page numbers and headers, chapter headings, a table of contents, a copyright page, and any other front or back matter.
With Enhanced Formatting you can include special elements like illustrations, decorative chapter headers and scene breaks, subheadings, and footnotes for each chapter or at the end of your book.
If you opt for e-book only, you will receive fully formatted documents in EPUB and DOCX, ready to be uploaded for publication and compatible with Barnes & Noble, Amazon, Apple Books, OverDrive, Kobo, Draft2Digital, Smashwords, Tolino, SCRIBD and more. For print and e-book you will also receive a fully formatted PDF ready to upload to KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) or IngramSpark, as well as the EPUB and DOCX files.

Blurb Add-On
Composing an engaging, effective book blurb is an art. You want it to encapsulate enough of the plot to entice the reader, without giving anything away. It should also mention any relevant information about other books you may have written, and utilize Search Engine Optimization (SEO) terms to make your book more visible on the internet.
We offer blurbs as an add-on to our formatting and proofreading services rather than an independent service, since we’ll have become quite familiar with your book and can tailor your blurb for a perfect fit. You'll get one full jacket-length blurb of 200 to 300 words and one shorter blurb of about 100 words for tighter spaces.
