CHRISTINE GAYHART

Editor - Formatter - Cover Designer

A BRIEF OVERVIEW


Equipped with over two years of college studies in English, several years experience providing publishing services to clients, as well as six self-published books of my own, I strive to be the best in my field to help other authors rightfully succeed with their projects.


I specialize in editing, formatting, and cover desigining for authors who wish to self-publish. With editing and formatting, I combine meticulous detailed review and thorough checking of all aspects, leading to a complete and flawless end product. For cover designing, I utilize my creative side by choosing graphics and styles that are appropriate for the work and pleasing to the eye.


I work with nonfiction and fiction books, print books and ebooks. I would love to help you with your project! Feel free to look around and contact me with any questions.

FORMATTING SERVICES


After writing a book and having it professionally edited, the next step in book publishing is properly formatting the manuscript. In order to have happy readers, it is essential to have a cleanly structured book that has consistent headings, margins, font size and style, page numbering, headers and footers, and a functional and accurate table of contents, depending on if you will be publishing an ebook or a print book (or possibly both). 


Formatting does not come easy to everyone, which is why I would like to offer to format your manuscript for you. The formatting I am most experienced with and prefer is Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing platform. I do both their print book and ebook formats. I tailor my formatting techniques according to KDP's specific guidelines. Publishing with KDP is very fast and easy. I will provide the formatted files for you to effortlessly upload into a publishable book that is professionally formatted and that your readers will enjoy.

EDITING SERVICES


As an author, you are amazing! You work tirelessly for months, or even years, working on your manuscript, hoping it will be a success. But once it's written, and you've combed through it a few times to work out the kinks, you're done. Right? Probably not. That is because most authors need editors. You cannot be expected to catch every blemish in your book, because you wrote the words, so the typos are unfortunately overlooked. However, an editor can give your book a fresh set of eyes to catch the errors that your readers would notice.


That's why I'm here. I provide a detailed copyediting service, which thoroughly fixes mistakes in - and improves - grammar, punctuation, spelling, sentence structure, and word choice, so you can feel rest assured that your audience won't be disrupted by little errors while perusing your book. Instead, it will be a smooth read for them.

COVER DESIGNING SERVICES


Don't judge a book by it's cover? Most people usually do! When browsing a bookstore, whether online or in a store, a book cover is the first glimpse a reader gets of a book and it helps them to decide whether to purchase the book or not. A book cover is ultimately one of the deciding factors in book buying, which makes it the most important marketing technique you can invest in for your book. If you want to do your book right, give it an attractive, compelling book cover.


I have a lot of experience designing both ebook and full-jacket print book covers for authors. I use royalty-free images that you can pick out to make your book cover stand out. By providing only the information that you want on the cover, as well as a brief book description, I create a stunning cover that represents your book well and entices your audience. If you have your own images that you would like me to use, I will be more than happy to incorporate them into your custom design. All of my book covers are one-of-a-kind and unique.
