We edit and design all types of books and publications

If you are preparing your manuscript to submit to a publisher, are self-publishing, or using a “print on demand” book publisher, Help Publish can guide you through every step of the process.

We have the experience, and we offer our services to writers and authors, no matter what their level of experience or their record of previous publication.

If you are thinking of publishing a book yourself (self publishing or print on demand) and marketing your book on your own, we can help you present a polished and finished product to the public and even create a web site with a shopping cart to promote and sell your book. Ask about our package deal.

Help Publish offers each of our services separately or as a complete package.

Our services include:

Editing for Fiction and Nonfiction

Editing for Fiction and Nonfiction Manuscripts

We can edit your writing: fiction or nonfiction, book manuscripts, query letters, course assignments, articles, dissertations, newsletters, or anything at all, and we can create text for you based upon your specifications. We can also do research for your projects. Regardless of the project, we can turn your writing into a highly polished piece of work.

No job is too big or too small. Our rates are very reasonable, and your date requests are honored. Since your satisfaction is our main goal, we welcome your questions at any point in the process. Just give us a call to discuss the type of editing your manuscript will require and our prices.

(You will find our prices to be surprisingly low.)

A web site is an excellent way to promote and even sell your book. A web site helps inform readers of special events like a book signing or a personal appearance. Fans can find out about your recent books and publications, send fan mail, and provide valuable feedback. We will work with you to make your web site a creative, unique, and personalized place that promotes you and your work. And we make it very affordable.
