“We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.”

Virtual Assistant (PA) Services
(AKA Your “Author Managers”)
Let us help you reach the next level in your author role. We understand that balancing writing and all your other tasks can be difficult. Instead, we can build and organize your: Street Teams, ARC Teams, newsletters, cross-promos, emails, and more. We also provide you with social media management (including TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram).
Once you have met with us, we will decide what services will best suit your needs, along with a timeline that will have you back to writing in no time.
*There is a minimum of 10 hours per month.
| 10 hrs/mo | $300/mo |
| 15 hrs/mo | $375/mo |
| 20+ hrs/mo | $450+ |
| A la carte options (ex: TikTok alone, etc.) | TBD |
Proofing Services
We love being able to assist authors with the editing process of their books. From the very beginning alpha reads to the final proofread, we ensure professionalism (through years of personal writing) and confidentiality, so you don’t have to worry!
Turnaround time varies, based on the manuscript size and word count; but most manuscripts are completed in 3-4 days. Rush proofing can be requested (*may incur a cost for priority proofing).
Alpha Reading
You have just finished getting all of those wonderful words on the page… so where do you go from there? Maybe you’re stuck on a plotting point, need more character development, or just need fresh eyes on your manuscript. As your alpha reader, we will provide you will unbiased feedback on the overall tone and flow of your story line, along with character development being true to who you intended them to be.
*This can be done in segments or submitted as a total manuscript.
Beta Reading
Once again, we are giving you overall feedback on your manuscript so you can ensure your story is targeting the audience you intended it to. The difference between alpha and beta reading is usually the manuscript has gone through a round of content and/or copy editing to correct any syntax, grammar, or character flaws.
*Some authors choose to do their own alpha edits, so many will prefer a beta lens. Either is beneficial.
**This can be done in segments or submitted as a total manuscript.
Content Editing
Now that you have had preemptive eyes on your manuscript- and you have really found the flow of your story and the developed the characters within the storyline, now you need a more analytical look at structure, flow, and readability of your manuscript. We check for accuracy, consistency, and quality of the both the storyline and characters.
*This is NOT line editing nor copy editing which examines grammar and punctuation. Simple grammar and syntax suggestions will be offered.
Proofreading
You are so close to hitting that PUBLISH button, but you need one final look at your almost-finished-work-of-art. In this final stage, you have used (any or all) beta readers, content editors, copy and/or line editors, and possibly gone over your manuscript a hundred times. Your proofreader is there to ensure the other essential people in your party haven’t forgotten or missed any simple or major mistakes, along with (once again) checking for flow of the storyline and true-to-characters personalities.
| Alpha Reading | TBD* |
| Beta Reading | $100 |
| Content Editing | $.007/word |
