Editorial Services

We offer developmental editing, line editing, and proofreading based on manuscript length and editorial depth. Editorial services focus on clarity, structure, voice, and polish.

Marketing services include graphics, press kits, book trailers, launch planning, and platform-building guidance. Marketing services provide tools and assets only and do not guarantee visibility, sales, income, or commercial success.

Design services include cover design, interior layout, and print and ebook formatting. All designs are created for market-ready presentation while respecting author branding and genre expectations.

Web & Digital Services

We offer author websites, SEO optimization, and landing pages to support discoverability and long-term branding. Website services do not include ongoing hosting or traffic guarantees unless otherwise specified.

Pricing & Payment

All services are offered à la carte with transparent pricing provided in advance. Payment applies only to services explicitly selected by the author and is due prior to service delivery unless otherwise agreed in writing. There are no hidden fees, bundled requirements, or upsell obligations.

Publishing Assistance Services

We provide guided assistance with print-on-demand and digital publishing platforms, including KDP and IngramSpark setup, metadata optimization, and distribution configuration. Authors maintain ownership and control of all publishing accounts.
