I'm happy to announce my new business venture ~ Inkswiggler, Inc. I'm offering a variety of book consulting services ~ primarily developmental editing, marketing manuscripts to publishers and agents, and help navigating the submission process.

I've had a lot of lucky breaks and opportunities in my writing career and one of my goals is to help other writers get published. I'm looking forward to hearing your book ideas and reading YOUR stories.

Here are the details on the services I offer and the simple process for sending me your manuscript or book idea. The initial consult is free.

Send a brief (one- or two-paragraph) description of your project and how much of it is completed. If you just have a working title and a one-page description of your project, that’s okay, I just need to know how much material is available. My email address is: inkswiggler_inc@hotmail.com

Let me know if your goal is to sell your book to a traditional publisher or self-publish.

Let me know what kind of assistance you’re seeking
(i.e. developmental editing, which means framing the manuscript in a clear way, writing a proposal for agents and publishers, etc.).

That’s it! If I don’t think I can help you, I’ll let you know, and your inquiry won’t cost you anything except the time it took to submit the email.

If I think I can help you get published, I’ll write back and we can discuss designing a consulting plan that works for your goals and budget. You can arrange for as much or as little consulting help as you need. And you can opt out at any time.

Here are the topics and genres I cover:
Paranormal
Metaphysical
Memoir
Humor

Services for all books ~ (traditional or self-published):
Developmental editing
Title/subtitle
“Silver bullet” marketing copy

Additional services for those interested in pursuing traditional publishing:
Proposal writing
Query letters

In addition to the developmental editing and copywriting services I offer, I have access to a wealth of talented freelance editors, proofreaders, graphic designers, and production designers to offer any type and level of assistance you need to get your book published.
