WHY THESE SERVICES EXIST

Indie authors often struggle to balance craft with deadlines. These services are built to provide clarity where it matters most: structure, pacing, and reader-facing copy.

Every project is approached from a working author’s perspective, with an emphasis on genre expectations, narrative momentum, and clean execution. The goal is simple: help you move forward with confidence and publish stronger work.

FAQs

Do you write prose or chapters as part of these services?

No. These services focus on structure and copy, not drafting chapters or ghostwriting.

Can you work from an existing blurb or outline?

Yes. I can revise or optimize existing material, or build from notes or a premise.

How do revisions work?

Revisions are limited to scope clarification and alignment. Major changes or expanded scope require a separate agreement.
