Audit: priced per project
A manuscript audit is a high-level review of your book that focuses on structure, pacing, clarity, strengths, and areas that may need improvement before editing or publishing. The goal is to identify what needs refinement, and the clearest path forward for the project.
Consultation: $50 per hour
For many writers, publishing can feel fragmented or unclear, especially when approaching editing, formatting, platforms, and final preparations for publication. Consultations help clarify the next steps, answer your questions, and provide direction throughout the process.
Cover Design: $399
A cover is the first point of contact between a reader and a book. Strong cover design helps establish tone and quality before the book is opened. Well-written books are overlooked when paired with weak design. A great cover establishes professionalism and that the work is ready for readers.
Interior Formatting: Paperback/Hardcover: $299 / Ebook: $199
Interior formatting (aka typesetting) shape the reading experience itself. Spacing, margins, typography, chapter layout, and visual consistency affect readability and pacing. Professional formatting helps the manuscript feel like a complete book.
Proofreading: .025¢ per word
Proofreading is the final stage of refinement before publication. It focuses on grammar, spelling, punctuation, consistency, and small mechanical errors that can distract readers from the work itself. Proofreading brings polish to the final text without altering the writer’s voice.
