So you have a book, you want to share it with the world.

—————————


You've followed every step in the book, all in an effort to create your very own - storyboarded hard, slaved away on page after page, and shepherded your precious characters along every step of the long, torturous trials that you 'had' to put them through.

The final page has been written, the story has been told. The hard work is over now... right?

Well... as you may be thinking already, not quite!

SO WHAT NEXT?!

While it's already a rare and commendable effort to carry your work all the way to a full 'first draft', however, even less books make it across the daunting divide between 'I'm finished writing!' and 'how on earth will this end up looking like a proper book?'.


This new, often underestimated stage of a book's creation can seem incredibly daunting at first. There's a lot to take on, a lot of difficult new skills to learn, and not a lot of support available along the way to make things easier. Impostor syndrome sets in, and the relief of drafting your manuscript quickly drains into disappointment and dread.


It is at precisely this crucial, often passion-breaking point in the 'mid-life crisis' of your literary piece that I hope to step into the picture. My name is Gabe, and I've been editing, designing, and publishing for authors from all around the globe since 2020. 


Operating out of north-western Germany, and primarily taking on works within the fantasy, furry, YA fic, and poetry genres, I'm not just an editor who does a round or two of typo checks, and then calls it a day whether you're satisfied or not. Rather, I aim to be a stalwart assistant along the all-important, treacherous journey between 'final draft' and 'published' who understands your vision, takes care to preserve your voice, and understands exactly how it feels to be in the position you're in now thanks to years of personal experience in authorship.

Can I promise things will be easy?  No.

Can I promise a professional sendoff for your creation, and far less stress upon your shoulders?


Without a doubt.

EDITORIAL SERVICES

📝  THREE-STAGE EDITING

A book is the manifestation of a level of dedication that most cannot even begin to sum up, but an unedited book has the potential to sour both the work's potential and that of its author. Give your brainchild the professional love and polish that it deserves by working with me through my individually-tailored, hands-on editing process.

📙  PROOFREADING

Looking for a set of trained eyes to proof your story concept, outline or finished work? Search no further. Just like editing, sharp, consistent proofreading is the key to a successful written project, and can provide a much needed buffer between you and releasing error-littered writing out into the world, as well as perspective and a fresh set of ideas.

🔖  PUBLISHING ASSISTANCE

Publishing is hard - especially self-publishing, when the weight that would normally be handled by an entire company is on your shoulders alone. With me, however, it doesn't have to be that way. Thanks to years of experience , I am perfectly poised to take the process you're dreading and turn it into a relieving epiphany of creative realization instead.

GRAPHIC DESIGN SERIVCES

🌀  LOGO DESIGN

A logo is more than just a trademark to slap on products - it's the image that people recognize your brand by, and often the very first impression that your business makes. One email to me, and you'll be well on your way to putting a new coat of paint on the most important part of your business identity.

📔  COVER DESIGN

Still missing that one last, crucial ingredient? Not to worry! Covers are one of my headline specialties, and empowering your masterpiece to shine as brightly as it deserves would be an absolute pleasure.

🎨  GRAPHIC DESIGN

Sick of having to promote yourself or your business using tired old graphics or boring premade templates? Posters, promotional flyers, cards, album covers, webpage design - even maps and visual elements for books - you name it, I can do it and make it just about as stylish as you can imagine!

Releasing a book - especially for the first time - can be a straining, possibly expensive experience, and I want to be present as an affordable, value-packed option for those that share my passion for creating.

At the same time, however, I have the capability to offer higher-end, more comprehensive services if you're willing to invest into taking your book to the next level. 

You're in control, I'm there to help as much as I can, and the goal is a polished, published, and well-selling book.

Want to pace things or see how we work together before going all-in? No problem! Just contact me, and we'll hammer out a quote and a timed or milestone-based payment plan to help us both achieve maximum transactional safety and fairness.
