Book Manuscripts

Is there a book in you? Blue Pencil Consulting can coach you through the process of crafting a book proposal or act as a "manuscript midwife" to help you write that book and get it out into the world.

We help authors with book manuscripts. Services include manuscript development, editing, and ghostwriting, for both non-fiction and fiction. When you polish your book manuscript until it shines, you'll impress your readers, whether you've gone the traditional publishing route or chosen to self-publish.

Work on several in-progress fiction manuscripts has included editing a synopsis of a fantasy novel, and providing thorough read-throughs of novels with an eye to look at structure, pacing, character development -- in short, an assessment of what's working, what isn't, and how to improve it.
