Content that tells, sells, and compels.
Content Strategy
Helping you put your writing ideas onto paper! We work with you from beginning to end, making sure that you’re able to turn your completed manuscript into your book. We work collaboratively with you to make sure that your stories, ideas, and experiences are told how you want while guiding you on best practices and helping you put everything together. Content strategy covers ghostwriting, writing assistance, content organization, and making sure you have a plan once your manuscript is finished.
Developmental Editing
Developmental editing is the 1st stage of editing. In this stage, we will be looking over your manuscript or paper and suggest edits on a larger scale. We look at things from a 1000-yard view examining how your book is structured and where adjustments need to be made with a focus on maintaining your voice throughout the editing process. This is your book! We work to ensure that at the end of the developmental editing process you feel that much more confident going into the next stage of editing.
