Formatting Services

Amalie offers formatting for both print and ebook editions, rapid turn around time, and whatever bells and whistles Vellum offers. (Not using InDesign, guys, too much effort!)

Current Rates

Fiction - Novels
Ebook only: $25
Print and Ebook: $35

NonFiction (because the formatting is much more labor-intensive, with somewhat longer turnaround--a couple of days.)
Ebook only: $75
Print and Ebook: $100

Two tweaks included in base price.

Files provided for Kindle, Apple Books, Kindle, Kobo, Google Play, Generic ePub, and Print

Note: I'm not doing books with lots of pictures in them at this time. A picture here or there with caption is fine, but mostly I'm working on text-dense books.

Disclaimers
  • My expertise is Romance, and while I enjoy other types of Fiction, I don't feel qualified to do story/content editing outside of Romance.
  • I cannot guarantee anyone seeking traditional publication will get published because of our efforts.
  • I will be direct and honest, but tactful. Sugar-coating things won't help, so for Critique or Story Doctoring... be prepared.
  • I do not read Inspirational Romance. Sorry. Hard limit.
  • I also reserve the right to turn down projects.

Proofreading

Genres: Fiction

After your book has been copy edited by someone else, to make certain it's been done well.

My current rate is $.008 per word.


Copy Editing

Genres: Fiction

After your book has found its final form, been beta read and revised for story, this is an edit for flow, style, grammar, spelling.

My current base rate is $0.01 per word, but if the writing is very rough, that rate could rise.

Note: I do not do substantive editing. I will correct for grammar, spelling, flow, and flag inconsistencies and issues, but I'm not rewriting chunks or moving bits around.


Critique

Genres: Romance Only

This is less in depth than Developmental Editing, but more than Beta Reading. I will read for story, overall structure, plot holes and logic fails, and character arcs, and provide a letter for both what is working, and what isn't.

My current rate is $.015 per word.

Developmental Editing/Story Doctor

Genres: Romance only

I will work with you beat by beat to nail down plot points to both advance the external plot, the romance, and the internal character arcs.

My current rate is $.06 per word.

Top-3 Craft Books I Value 
(Click here if you want the whole list)

This is my current favorite character excavation book! A working book. I even made my own worksheets so I could drill down to the core of my characters quickly. Very highly recommended.
You will probably see a pattern when You look at these books. I tend to zero in on the books that help me bring my A-game in emotion.  Also very highly recommended.
#1 favorite reference book.
