Writing Coaching Work one-on-one with a coach to articulate and achieve your goals on your timeline. The process is deceptively simple, the results invariably remarkable! Coaching addresses both writing issues and writing life concerns and habits. Editing: A seasoned reader can give you feedback--does your manuscript say what you meant it to? Editing When you are ready--at any stage of your book's development--for fresh eyes and a professional's experienced perspective, work with a Soleil editor--like a spinal realignment!--to hasten your progress. Shaping, pacing, feedback on whether and how your writing achieves your goals. Editors give your project undivided attention. Co-authoring: Your story--in your voice--professionally written. Co-authoring (Ghostwriting) Services A co-author provides (as much or as little of) the writing and organization skill for those who have a book to be written but cannot or will not write it themselves. Do you seek a professional to transform your notes, tapes, and interviews into an interesting, readable narrative? Have you begun a project and realize you won't finish it? Our coauthoring services will be tailored specifically to your project. Book Publication Services: Transform your manuscript into a finished book! Book Design, Production, and Printing for Self or Small Press Publication Your completed manuscript deserves a professional transformation into a beautiful book. Whether you are publishing for family and friends or for a regional or national audience, our production team's experience is your best asset. Full pre-press services (choose all or some): transcription, book design, photo prep and restoration, illustration, file preparation, technical advocacy with the printer. Don't get this far and let the result be less than what you deserve! Call for estimates.
