Editorial and Manuscript Development

Whether you have a cute idea, notes for a story, or a fully fleshed-out manuscript, our talented writers and editors will help you perfect your manuscript.

We offer all levels of editing: Ghostwriting, line editing, copy editing, proofreading: Every project is different, so we’ll make editing recommendations based on your needs.

Professional Design

Our bank of talented artists will create illustrations exactly as you envision them: Life-like characters, fantasy worlds, watercolors, graphical images, cartoons—whatever your vision, our illustrators will bring it to life.

We will provide you with artist portfolios and sample drawings so you can choose the best illustrator for your project. You and your production editor will communicate that vision to the illustrator, allowing for unlimited back and forth and tweaks, until the characters and imagery are exactly as you imagine them.

Again, anything created is completely owned by you, the author.

High-Quality Production

Marketing and Public Relations
