Book Manuscript Editing 
Professional—and Very Personal—
Editing Services for Self Publishers
With
a lifetime of experience as a professional writer,
publisher, and trade book author, Barbara Brabec offers much more than mere editing services to her
clients. In fact, she brings her entire lifetime of knowledge and experience to
the table each time she elects to work with a new client, and that relationship
is always a personal one.
Barbara's satisfied clients attest to her skill as a writer and editor as
well as her ability to address each author's special needs, whether the book is
a work of fiction or nonfiction.

LET BARBARA HELP YOU get your
finished book manuscript professionally edited and ready for publication.
As one
of her clients, you'll communicate regularly with her during the editing
process, receiving editing queries, email progress reports, and answers to any questions
you may have. You'll also be able to communicate by phone if you wish.
Few (if any) editors on the Web work this closely with their clients.
After the editing has been completed to your satisfaction, you will receive
some general guidance
(if needed) on the self-publishing process, with referrals to trusted professionals in Barbara's network who can
help you take your edited manuscript all the way to publication. (If you need
extensive help here, a small consultation
fee may be charged.) Barbara now works closely with
professionals who offer affordable high quality typesetting, cover design
services,
Adobe conversions that meet technical print-on-demand requirements, and help in setting up a
WordPress blog if this is part of your marketing plan. (See also the helpful information and
resources in the Writing/Publishing
department.)
Robert Frost once said that "You can be a little ungrammatical if you
come from the right part of the country," and that may be true if you're writing
dialogue in fiction.
Where your self-published book is concerned, however, being "a little
ungrammatical" could prove not only embarrassing but
harmful to your professional image. A self-published book that has not been
professionally edited will surely bring unfavorable reviews, and there
will be no good word-of-mouth advertising, which all authors need for maximum success.
REMEMBER: If your first book isn't well written and edited, no one will read your second. |
