Do you (or someone you’ve worked with) provide non-editorial services to writers? Services can include:
- Graphic/cover design
- Book layout
- Formatting for Kindle/ebook publication
- Book production
- Self-publishing consulting/services
- Marketing/PR
- Social media support
- Ghostwriting
- Illustration
This is an opportunity to be included in a resource guide. I’m always getting requests for ghostwriters, cover designers, book formatting, etc.
Please contact me at mary@kidlit.com or leave links in the comments. For all service providers, I will ask for examples of successful work you’ve done, so be prepared to talk about your services, your experience, and give a sense of your pricing. If you’re a writer who has used a service that you are THRILLED with, please spread the good word and let me know. Thank you so much.
Hi Mary Kole,
I’m a fiction author and poet but I also have a business called Desert Rocks Creative Writing. If someone needs some writing for their business such as copy-writing for a sales page, or a poem for an Anniversary, birthday or some other event, then they might want my services. I have over twenty years of experience in writing. I have written many poems for children’s books on mindfulness, but sold my rights. I also write poems and songs with faith-based themes. While I don’t want to do ghost-writing, I am happy to help anyone sound wonderful with my words.
I offer self publishing services/consulting, formatting for creat space and kindle. See my writer services on my website at rebeccayelland.com.

I can do Book layout and Formatting for Kindle/ebook publication. I’ve learned typography and how to use Adobe InCopy and InDesign, and I really enjoy it. I just did both of these on my book which I just self-published on Amazon. amazon.com/dp/1980517789

Mary,
I’m a huge fan of yours, and I so appreciate your posts on writing. Thanks for this call.
Writers have hired me to edit and ghostwrite their blogs, Facebook posts, Tweets, and more. I especially love helping women writers come up with social media strategies to get their stories into the world.
Thanks.
Hi Mary,
Just saw this post and thought I’d leave a comment. I design book covers at affordable prices for authors and publishers.
