2. Development EditingA thorough edit of your book that focuses on polishing and strenghtening its content. For fiction the focus is on plot, characterization, and voice. For nonfiction the focus is on whether the book has explored its content adequately enough to be competetive in the market. This is a collaborative effort between editor and author. Your assigned editor will be working WITH you to improve your book. Do not expect your editor to rewrite your book. The role of your development editor is to suggest ways YOU can revise by offering detailed insight and advice.

We pitch your book to authors and/or professionals who are interested in reading your genre to provide the endorsements for you to use on your book cover and/or marketing materials. Please note, it's not realistic to pitch authors like Stephen King. You will not end up with quotes this way.

15. Audio Book NarrationSome people don't have time to read, so they listen to audio books during their everyday commute. Audio books also prompt hesitant readers to tackle works that they might not otherwise have had the time or inclination to try because they can listen while engaging in other activities such as housework, sport, or walking the dog. Tap into this market by having our professional voice-over actors bring your book to life in audio.
