JESSE CONRAD

COPY EDITOR AND AUDIOBOOK PRODUCER

 

MY MISSION

My mission is your mission. Your ideas shine; I help you turn them into text.

Development

What does your book or article want to do, and which form best fits your ambition? In development we might brainstorm, outline, expand, and rearrange.

Ghostwriting

If development reveals a need for additions, I can guide you in producing new sections or even ghostwrite drafts for you to approve or improve.

Line Editing

An  intensive form of copy editing, line editing suggests changes to vocabulary, grammar, and syntax to make the prose as accessible, professional, and effective as it can be.


Proofreading

Granular final edit that catches spelling, punctuation, and other errata, including problems with images, indexing, and citations if applicable.


Design

Covers, paper book guts, and even ebooks require design and formatting. Whether for Kindle or a run of hardcovers, I can make your book ready for market both inside and out. 


Audiobook Production

I can help you book studio time, advise on home recording, or help you hire a professional narrator for your audiobook. Then I edit and master the raw recordings to meet submission requirements for Audible and other platforms.  


Other Media

Maybe you want to start a podcast or create videos using excerpts from your audiobook. I can help you create auxiliary media to build awareness of your project.


Marketing

Once the work is published, it won’t do to sit on your hands and tell no one. From content strategy and creation to multichannel deployment, building an audience is mainly in the marketing.
