Ebook Writing Services

Creating ebooks is one of my favorite types of work, so I was happy to learn that ebooks are STILL the most downloaded type of content. Creating a good ebook takes work, and you can tell when a company hasn't truly invested when its ebook reads like homework assignments or as if ChatGPT wrote it. The ebooks I create aren't like that. They're designed to inform and inspire. Think clear explanations, compelling visuals, bite-sized content, and a reader-focused approach that delivers a bang, minus the fluff. Read more about my ebook-writing philosophy, then check out my ebook packages to see if and how I might help you create yours.

FAQs about ebook writing

  • A: I learn fast. And although I may not know anything about your company or its products and services — yet — I do know something about human nature. I’m empathetic; I know what it feels like to download an ebook hoping to learn something that will make my business or life better only to be disappointed in the end by crappy content. Or by walls of text. Or by an overload of jargon. Or by overly salesy content. Or by the same old content I’ve read elsewhere in a dozen other places. I know how to think. I know how to write. I know how to organize. I know how to persuade. I’ve also been doing this work for 20+ years. What more do you need?

  • A: From kickoff, the process can take up to a month. It really depends on how quickly I can get the information I need, how much research I have to do, how long it takes for the review cycle, and what else is on my plate. When we get into the project, I’ll give you an estimated timeline. I’ll also check in with you frequently throughout the process—I hate when vendors make me wonder what’s going on, so I make efforts to always keep you in the know.

  • A: From kickoff, I’d say two to three weeks. When we get into the project, I’ll give you a timeline.

  • A: From the day of our kickoff call, the process generally takes two to three weeks. Specifically, how long the process actually takes for your project will depend on a few variables: How quickly we hold the kickoff call, how quickly you respond to the questionnaire, how long it takes you to review the draft, that sort of thing. When we get into the project, I’ll work up a timeline. I’ll also keep in contact with you during the process so you won’t have to wonder what I’m doing.

  • A: If you think your ebook may need just a copyedit, don’t buy this package. This package is for an ebook do-over. What might a do-over involve? It depends on your audience, your goals, and what’s in the ebook already. Here are some of the things I typically have to do when reworking an existing ebook:

    • Reorganize content to align with a reader’s thought process.​

    • Write a captivating, new introduction that draws readers in.

    • Suggest new graphics or annotate existing graphics.

    • Suggest new images or new captions for existing images.

    • Cut duplicate or irrelevant content.

    • Add new, missing content.

    • Rewrite entire passages to improve readability and flow.

    • Rewrite or add headings and subheadings to break up the text.

    • Add bullet points where possible to make the text easier on the eye.

    If your ebook doesn’t need that kind of attention, or if you’re unsure about whether this package is for you, then please get in touch. I’ll be happy to take a look.

    Item description

  • A: I’ll let you know. I haven’t stayed in business since 2002 by overcharging or ripping people off. If you purchase the ebook do-over package and I see that your ebook doesn’t really require a redo — maybe it only needs a thorough copyedit — I’ll let you know and refund you the difference. I’m here to help you lead people to YES, not just to make a buck.

  • A: I think visually, and I have a great eye for design, so I always offer to find images that map to whatever content I’m creating. If you use a stock photo service, I can choose from there. Or I can use UnSplash, UnSplash Plus, Deposit Photos, and DALL-E 3. Either way, I’ll download the images and add them to the content where I think they belong. I’ll also write captions and alt-text. If I think a chart or customized graphic would help readers grasp a concept faster, I’ll work up a rendition. Sometimes I draw images on paper and scan them. It depends on what the situation calls for. Bottom line with graphics is that I can provide lots of direction.

  • A: Yes, and I always recommend the optional post-design review service to my clients because I’m familiar with the text and the images; I know what we’re going for and can help guide the designer in the right direction. To do so, I either edit a pdf by adding comments, or I prepare a list of changes, whatever you prefer. Note that this service is not included in the package prices. It costs an additional $150, which I’ll bill you for after the work is done. If you’d like me to perform this service, just let me know after we get started.

  • A: Rush services mean I have to work nights or weekends—something I don’t really like to do. But I have been known to do so if my personal life happens to be quiet. If you’re interested in rush services and are willing to pay a premium, please contact me and tell me about your project.

  • A: Click on the pricing button under the option you want. That click wil take you to the purchase page, which includes many more details about the service. You can purchase from there. I look forward to working with you and helping create an ebook that leads more people to YES!
