BOOK EDITING & LAYOUT

I love books …

… and I love helping NEW books come to life!

Keep reading to see how Messenger Media can help the message that’s on your heart get out to the world.

  • Book Mapping

    This is for those who have an idea for a book but need help making it a reality.

    Together we will identify the target audience(s) and their struggles, needs, desires, and expectations.

    Additionally, we will craft a visual map that makes your message much more tangible. From here, your creative juices will be flowing and your book will start to seem like it’s writing itself.

  • Developmental Editing

    Based upon your manuscript, we will provide a visual map of the book’s storyline so that gaps may be identified and potentially filled.

    We will address the following questions:

    Does the book make sense?

    Does it flow well?

    Are the main points clearly and sufficiently articulated?

    Are there any major holes or areas with excess information?

  • Structural Editing

    We will provide suggestions to enhance the overall structure of your book, if needed.

    We will address the following questions:

    How could the overall message of the book be told more clearly?

    Does the chapter order need revision?

    Would the book benefit from being split into sections? If so, with what breakpoints?

  • Copy Editing

    Let’s make sure that each story or point is presented appropriately for the target audience.

    This phase often includes identifying quotations and/or other references and providing or completing citations.

    And of course, we’ll help to correct any spelling or punctuation errors that we see.

  • Interior Layout
