Overcoming Overthinking in Relationships: Editing and Publishing

Project Title: Overcoming Overthinking in Relationships Role: Editor & Publishing Support Specialist Genre: Non-Fiction / Self-Help / Relationships

Overview: Mamie reached out to me after coming across my services online. She had poured her heart into writing Overcoming Overthinking in Relationships, a heartfelt and practical guide for individuals struggling with anxiety, insecurity, and mental spirals in their relationships. What she needed next was a partner who could refine and elevate her manuscript while helping her navigate the publishing process with confidence.

🔹 Structural and Line Editing: I began with a comprehensive structural edit to enhance the flow and coherence of the book. This included reorganizing sections for better narrative progression and ensuring that each chapter built naturally upon the previous one. During line editing, I fine-tuned sentence structure, improved clarity, and strengthened the emotional tone while preserving Mamie’s unique voice and compassionate style.

🔹 Proofreading: Once the major edits were complete, I performed a detailed proofread to eliminate grammatical errors, typos, punctuation issues, and inconsistencies in style and formatting. The goal was to ensure a polished, professional final manuscript ready for publication.

🔹 Book Formatting: I formatted the manuscript for both digital and print publication, paying close attention to layout, chapter headings, spacing, and typographic consistency. The result was a clean, reader-friendly design that enhanced the book’s overall presentation.

🔹 Book Cover Design: Working closely with Mamie, I developed a cover concept that reflected the book’s theme of emotional healing and clarity. From choosing the right imagery and typography to finalizing layout details, I guided the design process to ensure the cover would resonate with the target audience.

🔹 Book Publishing Guidance and Assistance: I supported Mamie throughout the publishing journey, helping her make decisions on publishing platforms, pricing, and keywords. I also ensured that the book met the terms of service (TOS) requirements for platforms like Amazon KDP and provided assistance with uploading and launching the book successfully.

Outcome: The final product was a professionally presented, emotionally resonant self-help book that Mamie was proud to share with her audience. Through our collaboration, her vision came to life in a way that felt authentic, empowering, and impactful for readers seeking healing and personal growth in their relationships.
