For authors whose manuscript needs structural attention before it moves into line editing, copyediting or production. PROAUTHORS examines the organisation, progression, argument or narrative development, chapter balance and overall coherence of the work. The engagement begins with a review of the manuscript so the level of intervention is matched to its actual needs rather than applying an unnecessary one-size-fits-all edit.
Starting scope: developmental editing for manuscripts up to 20,000 words at an agreed light-to-medium level. Extensive restructuring and heavy developmental work are assessed and quoted separately.

Strengthen the way your book is presented to prospective readers on Amazon. This service reviews the listing's positioning, book description, metadata and relevant presentation elements, then refines the agreed content to communicate the book's value more clearly to its intended audience. The objective is a more coherent, reader-focused listing—not a promise of rankings or sales.
Starting price per book listing for agreed metadata, positioning and sales-copy refinement. Additional marketplace versions, keyword research depth or extensive copy development may require a separate quote.
For projects that do not fit a predefined package, services can be combined around the manuscript's actual needs. We develop a tailored proposal that identifies the work, deliverables, sequence, schedule and fee before you commit.
