    We adhere to the Chicago Manual of Style when we go through your manuscript to make sure everything is in the proper layout.  We also make sure the format is in alignment with what Amazon and/or Barnes & Noble is looking for.

    We optimize your manuscript for ebook publication.  A workable table of contents, proper sizing, file type and size are all things that we take care of.

  • Copyediting
    Copyediting is similar to proofreading but on steroids.  Our vetted staff will go over every inch of your manuscript and make sure that sentence structure is the way it should be, that your voice is consistent through the whole book, that punctuation is exact, and basically make your manuscript is flawless.  This is a huge step to making your book look professional.

    The fact of the matter is a book is judged by its cover and we make sure that your cover rocks!  We take your vision of what you want the book to look like and combine it with our skilled graphic designers to make something that catches the eye and looks amazing.
