Summary

A book must meet certain standards before it can be published whether traditionally or digitally. I help bring your manuscript up to those standards by revising it for grammatical, spelling, punctuation and capitalization errors as well as making it visually appealing to readers. This involves layout design including paragraphing, indentation, selection of font size and type, line spacing and alignment. There is also the inclusion of certain features:
Chapter headers
Page numbers
Headers & Footers
Scene breaks (simple asterisks or art).
Relevant mages (including utilization of the bleed feature)
Front & Back Matter (signing page, title page, copyright page, acknowledgements, dedication, preface, glossary, also by and author bio).
My exceptional skills in Microsoft Word and most notably, my knowledge of VBA programming means that efficiency is not only heightened but consistency is maintained. With VBA, once you can do it once, you can do it a million times. Once one chapter is set, the same layout would unfailingly be implemented throughout the document gifting it a sense of harmony that is visually appealing.
