Coaching
As the Publishing Possibilities Coach, I offer one-on-one sessions to help you reach your publishing goals.
Just a few of the topics we can cover are:
*Project analysis-are you on the right path with your idea?
* Publishing basics
*Putting together a publishing plan
*How business owners can benefit from publishing and what format may be the most beneficial
*The options for publishing a print book and resources to get it done
How Does it Work?
Scheduling is flexible and sessions can be divided into two 30 min periods.
We can also work by email if necessary.
No charge for an initial 15 mini consultation by phone or brief emails to see how we might work together.
Ready? You can reach me via my contact page or email for more information regarding pricing and scheduling. I look forward to helping you get closer to reaching your book publishing dreams.

Manuscript Critiques/Content Editing
What Is Included in a Manuscript Critique/Content Editing?
I will make a broad assessment of your work from a neutral, outsider vantage point. I will review areas such as clarity, flow, structure, readability, and general strengths and weaknesses.
I'll make notes on the manuscript and provide a summary report as well.
Rates: Generally begin around $2.00 a page but will be determined individually based on sample pages. *Note a page is considered 300 words.
Payment: Accepted through PayPal or check by mail. A deposit of at least half is required. We will discuss specific terms before we start. Once that is all arranged, you'll send your manuscript via email or snail mail per our discussion.
Other Things You Need to Know:
Manuscript Critiques are currently available for NON-FICTION only.
Critiques are available for print books, e-books, booklets, reports and related items
Also, I won't work with content deemed adult/erotic, racist, violent etc.
Manuscripts should be double-spaced.
I will not make changes. It is up to you to make any adjustments you desire based on this feedback.
Turn-around time is about 2 weeks unless other arrangements are made.
What Others Have to Say About This Service:
I was almost ready to launch my book when I sent it to Cheryl. I'm glad it went to her first. She pointed out omissions and repetition and places where it could flow better. Cheryl also came up with helpful suggestions that have made my book read better and won't leave questions in the reader's mind. If you need another pair of eyes and someone who knows what she's doing, Cheryl will do a good job, deliver on time and barely dent your bank balance. Lynne Lee SEO Is Simple.com
