You've successfully crafted your manuscript. Now, what's the next step?
If you're uncertain about the path forward, let me help you!
Whether you're venturing into self-publishing or considering the traditional publishing route, I provide a comprehensive array of services to address your specific needs—from thorough manuscript evaluation, developmental, content, and copy editing to meticulous proofreading, manuscript formatting, and cover design services.
Tailored packages are available to suit your unique requirements!
Since 2018, I’ve helped authors and other writers bring their work to life, combining a sharp eye for detail with a real appreciation for each unique voice. Working from my home on the West Coast of British Columbia, I edit in both Canadian and American English, drawing on trusted style guides like The Chicago Manual of Style and APA. From children’s and Indigenous stories to fiction, nonfiction, and business writing, my goal is to make sure you feel proud and excited to share your work.
If you’re ready to take the next step with your writing project, I’d love to hear from you. —Tara
