Services for Writers

COMING SOON! A new book for writers titled Writer, You Misused That Word, An Indie Author’s Guide for Self-Editing.

If you are interested in my services, please email me at pam @ pammc . com (without the spaces, of course). The contact page seems to treat everything as spam, so I did away with it. Thanks!

Scanning

I do three levels of scanning (please note that in all cases, the scanning is a destructive process, so your book won’t be returned):

Basic Scanning: I will scan your published book and save it to pdf, strip out the headers and footers, run optical character recognition (OCR), and save it in Microsoft Word format. I will not do any OCR correction or review, so it will need a lot of work on your part to clean it up.

Price = $30/books or $20/short story or novella.

Full Scanning: I will scan your published book and save it to pdf, strip out the headers and footers, run optical character recognition (OCR), and save it in Microsoft Word format, then run it through my checklist for the most common OCR errors, insert the chapter and scene breaks, and proofread the entire book.

Price $.004 per word (minimum $120). For example:

30,000 words and below = $120
50,000 words = $200
75,000 words = $300
100,000 words = $400

Editing

Formatting

I will format your novel and send you an epub file, suitable for uploading your ebook to all online venues: $.0015/word (minimum $30). This assumes minimal pictures.

For nonfiction, please send me an email with your needs, including number of tables, graphics, etc.

References available upon request.

I will upload your ebook to Apple Books, Amazon, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, Draft2Digital, Google Play, etc. for just $10 per venue.

Speaking

I am available for teaching workshops online or in person. Below are some of the workshops/sessions I’ve given (among others), and the organizations where I have taught:
