FAQ
What do I get when you are done with my novel?
Two Word documents. One with changes shown (change tracker) and one with changes applied. You need Word or a program that can see edits made.
Can I get a free sample of your book editing before I decide?
Yes, I recommend a sample edit. It’s easy to do and I get back to you usually within 24 hours. There is no charge. A sample edit gives both of us a chance to see if we’re a good fit.
What kind of files do you work with?
I work with Microsoft Word documents only. Please submit a Word file for editing!
Do I retain my copyright?
Yes! You are the sole 100% full owner of your work and the deliverables produced in the course of our engagement. If I help you publish your book, you get 100% of royalties paid directly to your bank account.
Do you do formatting?
Yes, I do!
Do you offer book marketing?
Yes! Beyond the full book production process, I offer managed launch and marketing packages to help position you for success.
Can you help me publish my book, too?
Yes! I have years of experience publishing on Amazon KDP and IngramSpark.

Too busy trying to persuade me to get things done that I didn’t wanna get done. Some of her work was incorrect and she was unwilling to make the corrections. My understanding of the description was different from hers. I do not feel like I got everything completed that I thought was going to be completed.
