HELPING YOU BRING YOUR HAPPILY EVER AFTERS TO THE FINISH LINE
Hi! I’m so glad you’re here!
My name is Salma and if you didn’t know already, I LOVE books.
I love obsessing over them BUT my absolute favourite thing has to be helping authors share their stories to the world!
I’ve spent the last four years helping full-time and first-time authors alike navigate this wonderful community with services that span from plotting to editing and marketing and I couldn’t ask for a better job!
You put so much heart into your writing, and I can’t wait to help you do the same.
EDITORIAL SERVICES
Getting early eyes on your book is a crucial step in the writing process. My goal is to provide general feedback on the story and point out any major plot holes. I can also be your eyes when it comes to any medical topics for authenticity/accuracy and lucky for you, I also speak French so if you need someone better than Google Translate, I’m your girl.
Rate: $0.005/word
A developmental edit is intended to be a comprehensive evaluation of your story and its essential elements. My goal is here to bring out all of your stories’ potential to life and point out where improvements can be made (plot, pacing, characterization, structure). I’ll be the person you’ll turn to when you believe you’ve done everything within your power but don’t know where to take it from there.
I’ll be your biggest cheerleader, but offer you honest in-line feedback and suggestions. I’ll be there to offer guidance, and coach you to solutions on how to bring out the best version of your story.
I will also bring a marketing/reader’s perspective into it because I believe that every great story also needs to be marketable. My goal will be to bring out quotes/one liners as well as passages to be used for your social media channels. This won’t be an in-depth version but a little boost to help market your next big story.
This service may also include up to three hours of calls during the process.
Rate: Starts at $0.016/word
* This could include a promotional video(s) on my social media platforms once the book releases with an additional fee
Don’t like listening to your own words? I got you ;) I’ll be listening to your audiobook and looking for any errors between the audio files and the final manuscript.
