Companies Who Encourage Writers To Self-Publish…

The aim of this service is simple -- To provide everything you need to prepare your book for publication.

You send us your book, we will edit it, check the spelling/grammar and even convert to multiple digital formats (pdf, epub. mobi and prc). All for one price.

What The Editing Will include...

Let's face it, all writers get too close to their work. It is part of the process, but also part of the problem.

How many times have you read over your writing, convinced it was ready to go, only to have a close friend spot a glaring plot hole?

Now imagine the horror of having a reviewer pick up your mistakes.

We CAN help you to avoid this pain.

Let me keep it simple -- Our editors will check over your book and pin point those huge plot holes that, if left unattended, would trip up unwary readers. Not only will we carry a structural edit, which will help to make your book read better, but we will also correct any spelling and grammar mistakes we spot.

The single most important aspect of our editing service is that we look at each word of your book, AND then provide the clear and actionable guidance you need to fix your book.

I can't emphasize this enough. We want to make sure you learn all the extra skills you need to not make the same mistakes twice. We want you to be a better writer.

OK, getting down to the nitty gritty...

BubbleCow’s editing service has been designed to provide a ‘publisher’ style edit, which leaves your manuscript as close to ‘print ready’ as possible. This sounds a bit like sales blurb, so let me put it into 'real person' speak.

If your book was being prepared for publication by a publishing house, it would pass through a three editing step process - Structural Editing, Stylistic Editing and Copy Editing. Our service combines the first two types of edit (Structural and Stylistic) to provide you with a ‘publisher’ standard in-depth line edit. The edit involves one of our professional and experienced editors reading through your work, line-by-line, and asking themselves the following questions:

• Is the book’s organization and content suitable for the intended audience, medium, market, and purpose? [Structural]
• How can the book’s meaning be clarified, the flow improved and the language smoothed? [Stylistic]

In reality this means that we will be paying attention to the narrative flow, potential plot holes and the overall 'feel' of the book in relation to its genre and readership.

What The Grammar/Spelling Check Will include...

How many times have you read over your writing, convinced it was ready to go, only to spot a glaring mistake in what seems like seconds?

We all make mistakes... after all we are only human.

Just think of all those words you have typed whilst writing your book. We are talking at least 50,000, if not double that. Therefore, it is inevitable that at least a handful of typos will have slipped through, no matter how careful you are.

The cold hard reality is that an error ridden manuscript can spell disaster. How can you expect readers to take you seriously as a writer if your books contain a mountain of typos and grammar errors?

Here's a secret about the people who make their living checking books for errors. They are weird.

I don't mean dress-up-as-bunny-rabbit weird.

Normal people, like you and me, will look at a block of text and say, 'Yeah looks great to me.'

However, proofreaders will look at the same text and 'feel' the errors.

I am not joking...

They have this error-spotting-super-power thing going on.

So, let me keep it simple -- our proofreaders will check over your book and correct grammar and spelling issues.

The single most important aspect of our proofreading service is that we look at each word of your book, AND then fix any problems.

One question we get asked a lot is how do we know what is right and what is wrong?

The answer -- Style Guides.

Style guides are big old books that tell our proofreaders the correct grammar and punctuation.

Depending on the country of publication, the style guide will differ. If you intend to publish in the US, we will use a US style guide. However, if you are preparing your book for the UK, then we will use a UK style guide.

Ebook Conversion

It seems at times that companies like Amazon and Apple want to make it as hard as possible for writers to digitally self-publish. One digital format would make life easy, but noooo each company insists on its own magical format.

A pdf file is ideal for reading on a computer screen but is rubbish for reading on a Kindle. A mobi file will work great on a Kindle, but you have no chance of getting it to work on the iPad.

Add to this the complexity of ebooks. They are more like websites than Word documents, with css styling dictating how the text flows and is displayed.

It is enough to make your head spin.

But we have the solution.

As part of this service, we with convert your book, by hand, from the original format to whichever format you need.

As standard, our professional designer we will return to you a copy of your book in pdf, ePud, mobi and prc formats.

This will allow you to simply upload to all major eReader platforms.
