I help authors to write books

One of the things I do is help authors with a book. Just thought I’d mention that, in case someone needs to know.

Typically, these are authors who have already a contract to publish in several countries, and want support and ideas as they write the manuscript.

What they say about it


"[The editor] had nothing but praise for the book. No major revisions or restructuring - a total of 28 edits and comments. The edits were fixing a handful of typos. The comments provide suggestions for illustrations, or include phrases such as ‘love this,’ ‘That's so cool,’ and ‘reads like poetry.’ She was actually embarrassingly complimentary. She said once she started the book, she couldn't put it down. Really, I would not have been able to get so far without your help." — Author H. M.

"JP, where to begin? You've saved me. Thank you forever." — Author W. F.

"Thank you so much for all your help - a nice review in the Sunday Times yesterday by REDACTED and there was a bit he mentioned that you were so helpful with! I learned a lot and you really helped make the book better. Thank you." — Author W. N.
