An overview of my signature services is below.
SIGNATURE SERVICES
All of these signature services are delivered with a unique (one-of-a-kind) spiritual and transformative approach and experience to bring out the best in the writer and the body of work.
GHOSTWRITING
This service is designed for the author who would like a book to deliver their transformative message but doesn’t want to actually write it. Through a series of interviews, meetings and/or author furnished materials, I will gather all the information to flesh out the book concept, create the book outline, develop chapters, and do all the writing.
The process is highly interactive and can take approximately 3 months to a year+ depending upon the book length, complexity of project, and schedules
AUTHOR COACHING - “SOUL STORY™” Coaching program
THINK: Coach + Writing Partner + Developmental Editor
This highly interactive service assists authors with their book from concept to completion.
My signature program includes one-of-a-kind and highly individualized prayer, meditation, visioning, and journaling sessions to assist with ideas and writing your first draft.
Additional services include accountability, as well as organizational and structural development (i.e, book outline, flow of the chapters), and copyediting (as an additional service). After our first call, you will leave with a strategy to bring your book to life!
DEVELOPMENTAL OR SUBSTANTIVE COPYEDITING
THINK: Deep Dive
This service provides a significant level of writing help for a manuscript. This level of editing often requires significant or drastic changes to the original manuscript. Portions of the manuscript may be rewritten if needed. Additionally, there may be organizational and structural changes.
This service is often needed for people who need writing assistance, experiencing difficulty with organization, as well as people for whom English is a second language.
Special attention is paid to the entire flow of the manuscript; structural issues; and ensuring the message is clear on the level of paragraphs, chapters, and entire manuscript.
STANDARD COPYEDITING
THINK: Clarity + Completion + Consistent + Correct + Concise Language, Voice and Message
This level of editing reviews sentence and paragraph structure, replaces repetitive words and synonyms, eliminates redundant words, and substitutes weak words, phrases, and sentences with alternatives that deliver more impact or are more relevant to your subject matter.
This review also ensures a consistent tone and voice.
STYLISTIC EDITING OR LINE EDITING
THINK: Clarifying and Illuminating Your Unique Voice
This editing service is often included in both a developmental or a standard copyedit. This service is often called line editing because it occurs at the sentence level.
This level of editing pays special attention to the author’s unique voice and the book’s tone. Detailed attention will be paid to clarifying meaning, eliminating jargon and clichés, ensuring the language flows, and is consistent with your unique style. Attention is also given to the syntax and how the sentence will sound or the ease of reading for the book’s audience.
PROOFREADING
For previous clients or highly selective projects only
THINK: Final set of eyes.
This level of editing is customarily the last round of editing.
This service will check grammar, punctuation, capitalization, spelling, verb tense, and pronouns. It also ensures consistency with spacing, headers, and formatting.
PUBLISHING CONSULTING
THINK: Strategic publishing guidance and know-how along with legal and marketing pointers.
This service helps authors and writers understand the steps, processes, and resources required to publish a book, journal, planner or other written or electronic material. It helps clients avoid costly mistakes in terms of time and money. Depending on the level of service required, there are options for walking through the entire process with you, which also includes key legal and marketing pointers, through VIP sessions or hourly services.
Your questions will be answered. You will have a publishing strategy for a professionally published item. And you will have confidence in your publishing process.
** VIP INTENSIVE **
THINK: Quick + Intensive Strategy For Writing and Book Breakthroughs
Are you stuck on your book's organization? Are you having trouble writing your book? Do you need help fleshing out your book concept? Is your author voice weak or missing from your manuscript? Or do you not know what is wrong but sense there is an element missing from your book?
At this moment, you realize that with a powerful strategy or infusion of creativity and vision, you will be fully equipped to complete your transformational book.
If any of these scenarios, sound like you, then you may be the perfect client for a VIP Intensive session. After an initial consultation (application required), we will spend 3-4 hours workshopping your book. And you will leave with your questions answered, inspired, and with a full strategy for book completion!
