Editing
Rita has been a professional editor for 25+ years. She prides herself on proper grammar, spelling, word usage and punctuation. From line edits and fact checking to recommending possible fixes for plot holes and story line glitches, you can feel confident Rita will give your manuscript the care and attention it deserves.
Interior Layout
In addition to doing the layout for her own five novels, Rita has provided interior-layout services for many of her editing clients. Several have sought her services for subsequent editing and layout projects.
Proofreading
This is the final step in the pre-publication process. Proofreading occurs after the layout work is finished. Your professional proofreader’s eyes constitute the last line of defense against errors. A careful, thorough proofread of your laid-out manuscript ensures a top-quality product in final form.
Literary Midwifery
Some folks who pursue self-publishing avenues like to handle their own file-setup and -uploading tasks; others prefer a bit more guidance in the publication arena. Rita can help with navigating the waters of self-publishing via IngramSpark, whether you need an occasional assist with understanding basic terminology, or complete hand holding through the publication process. She’s done this a time or twelve and understands the idiosyncrasies of self-publishing with IngramSpark.
