Editorial Consulting Services

(how can I help you?)

 

When I am not busy working on my own books, I work as an editorial consultant. Sometimes I am copywriting, and other times I am ghost writing or editing someone's book. Whether I am working as a copywriter, book doctor or shepherding someone's book to publication, or working on my own book, I am always happy to chat about your current needs and project.

As an experienced freelance author, journalist, editor, and editorial consultant, I collaborate with individual authors, book publishers, literary agents, book packagers, and companies in a number of different capacities including editing, ghostwriting, book doctoring, editing, web design, publishing, and project development. 

I have worked with a variety of professionals across the country, including attorneys, psychologists, psychiatrists, journalists, educators, engineers, athletes, entrepreneurs, public speakers, and celebrities. I have provided consultation, writing, and editorial services in many formats, including:

  • Books
  • Book proposals
  • Manuscript editing (developmental editing, content editing, rewriting, line editing, and critique)
  • Magazine articles
  • Ghostwriting
  • Professional biographies
  • Educational brochures
  • Marketing and promotional materials
  • Book reviews 
  • Film treatments and scripts
  • Research
  • Private family histories
  • Web design
  • Web content
  • Professional correspondence
I usually work from your background materials, notes, tapes, rough drafts, secondary sources, or interview transcripts.  I can also provide additional research as needed. Depending on the complexity of the project, I can complete your article, proposal, or business materials within a week; a complete book proposal in 3-5 weeks; books in as little as three months. The completed project can be provided to you on computer CD-ROM, via e-mail, or in printed manuscript form.

If for some reason I cannot complete your writing/editorial assignment for you, I may be able to refer you to another experienced, well qualified writer that I know.

If you would like additional details on my writing and editorial consulting services, or an estimate for your project,please send an e-mail with your name, address and phone number to editor "at" georgesheldon.com, or fax me at (717) 427-1550.
