Includes full developmental and content editing and formatting, creation of your copyright page, and citation support (see below for complete details).

The Gold Package is my mid-tier offer for self-publishing support. This package includes the powerhouse trio of my editing services, my full-service formatting, and some extra bells and whistles.

Package includes:

• Developmental Editing:

  • Helping with the "big picture" organization of your manuscript.

  • Evaluating plot, pace, character development, etc.

  • Looking for high-level ways to make the content flow together more naturally (examples: reorganizing chapters, combining redundant sections, expounding on areas where needed).

• Content Editing (& Line Editing):

  • Revising & editing for organization, clarity, & flow (more nitty gritty on the sentence and paragraph level as opposed to the big picture level).

  • Looking for better ways to say what you're saying, while working with you to make sure your intended meaning is coming across.

  • Reworking sentences that could be confusing or could lead to a misinterpretation of your intended meaning.

  • Ensuring the text reads in the voice and tone the author intended.

  • Reorganizing and restructuring sentences.

• Proofreading:

  • Reviewing manuscript for all errors and inconsistencies in mechanics (grammar, spelling, punctuation, and capitalization).

• Citation Assistance:

  • Identifying where citations/references are necessary in order to attribute credit to other works you have quoted.

  • Inserting footnotes and/or endnotes into your manuscript.

  • Ensuring each source is credited adequately.

  • *Note: The author's assistance is required in gathering and identifying sources used.

• Creation of Basic Copyright Page:

  • Preparing your book's copyright page.

• Expanded Copyright Page (if applicable):

  • For authors who quote Scripture, the expanded copyright page will include required attributions to various translations/versions of the Bible.

• Full-Service Formatting:

  • Formatting all aspects of your book's interior, including:

  • Setting page size, margins, and gutters according to your printer's/publisher's specifications.

  • Adding page numbers throughout.

  • Adding page headers throughout.

  • Adding a Table of Contents (if desired).

  • (Does not include the addition of an index; please see our Special Add-Ons for this option).

Important Notes:

• Listed pricing is based on black-and-white, text-only interiors. If your book includes full-color pages, graphics, or photos, please view our Specialty Add-Ons collection to price these upgrades. Please also note that color interiors typically result in much higher print costs through most publishing platforms.

• I do not accept manuscripts containing profanity, vulgarity, or morally objectionable material, including but not limited to adult fiction.

• I reserve the right to respectfully decline any manuscript for any or no expressed reason.

• My availability is limited. If you are working within a specific deadline, please reach out before booking. I can often accommodate tight turnarounds with advance notice.

Close to a Level Break? If your manuscript is just slightly over a word count limit, reach out! I'm happy to offer a prorated adjustment so you're not paying for a full level jump.

Go ahead and place your order at the lower level to secure your spot on my schedule — I’ll follow up with the adjustment amount before we move forward.
