From a client project
Developing a successful romance series without losing its identity
For an established romance series, the collaboration grew from editing one book to ghostwriting two further titles and providing ongoing series development.
The work included a character bible, character and plot continuity, and the gradual development of an established authorial voice.

How our collaboration begins
Describe your project
Send me a message on Fiverr explaining what exists and where you need help. I may ask for a sample or production specifications.
Agree on the scope
Your proposal sets out deliverables, price, timing and feedback rounds. Larger projects can be divided into milestones.
Work through clear stages
We review writing or designs in writing. After the agreed revisions, you receive the files specified in the proposal.
Before you get in touch
Are the project pathways fixed packages?
No. They show possible outcomes and typical elements. We’ll establish what you actually need based on your material and your goals. Scope, timeline and price are agreed individually.
Does my manuscript need to be finished?
No. Ghostwriting and manuscript development can begin with an idea. Full typesetting works best with a stable text, and a print cover also needs the final production dimensions.
Does editing include rewriting?
That depends on the scope. A manuscript assessment or comment-based edit gives you guidance for your own revision. Direct rewriting and scene revision can be explicitly included in the agreed work.
How much does a project cost?
Pricing depends on length, the condition of the material, complexity, timing and deliverables. I prepare an individual proposal using your project details and, where needed, a sample.
Do we need a video call?
No. We communicate in writing through Fiverr, so the brief, decisions and feedback remain documented.
