What to do next

If you want to find out about my services, take a look around the website.

Once you have decided that I may be the best person to handle your project, I will need to understand the basics of the project and what you want to achieve.

Initial brief

Depending on whether you are an established publisher, another business or an individual, this might include some or all of the following:

typescript as a Word document or, at least, some sample text

synopsis

page plan

existing length and proposed length

specification of the book

expectation of the level of work required

in-house editor's comments

schedule

budget and payment terms

author details

We can then discuss where to go next.

'There were times when I despaired of this, but now I have seen the proofs I believe we have a good book on our hands – I hope it does well. If it does then this is clearly in no small part due to your good work – an excellent job, much appreciated.'
