Plan Your Manuscript

Stage 1. Planning and Writing

We start by discussing the topic, scope, and structure of your book. We’ll help you outline your content, set writing goals, and establish a schedule that fits your life. At this stage, our focus is helping you plan your journey to publication. We’ll help you:

  • Define your target audience: Identify who your book is meant for and how we might write and design your book to attract those readers.

  • Organize your content: Break down the writing process into manageable sections to keep you on track.

  • Set a writing schedule: Create achievable milestones to keep momentum.

Stage 2. Editing and Evaluation

Once the manuscript is drafted, we refine your text and make sure it resonates with readers. This involves a careful review of grammar, flow, and consistency. We also provide feedback on structure or pacing if something needs improvement.

  • Polish the text: Address grammar, spelling, and style.

  • Check consistency: Ensure names, facts, and details are accurate throughout.

  • Evaluate structure: Suggest changes for clear, engaging content.

Stage 3. Cover Design, Formatting, Ebooks

Next, we make your book look professional. You’ll get a cover design that stands out and interior formatting that’s easy to read. We also handle ebook creation so your book is available on popular digital platforms.

  • Cover design: Communicate your genre and topic at a glance.

  • Typesetting and layout: Apply consistent fonts, margins, and chapter headings.

  • Ebook files: Produce files that work smoothly on major devices.
