Services

I offer: publishing services, editing services, and published products.

Publishing Services

You can publish your own book—absolutely.
Or you can hire me to do the publishing work for you.

I’m not here to acquire your book or take anything away from you.
I don’t want your rights.
I don’t want your royalties.

I want you to have your own publishing imprint. I want you to take your work and run with it. I’m not interested in holding it hostage or tying you to me. When we work together, I take your project from raw manuscript all the way through the production pipeline: editing, design, cover development, metadata setup, POD configuration, proofing, and launch preparation. Once your files are uploaded and approved, I train you on the system so you can manage and update your title independently.

After that point, I’m available for revisions and upgrades as needed, but otherwise I’m hands off.

I come from the traditional publishing world, which means I bring what’s good about it—rigor, editorial depth, production quality, thoughtful positioning, and respect for the craft. I also know the gaps. “Opportunities,” in corporate-speak, usually means things that need to be done differently. And in this new era, Print on Demand isn’t a compromise—it’s a high‑quality, fast, accessible publishing path that doesn’t require gatekeeper approval, months of waiting, or handing over ownership of your creative work.

So the real questions become:
Do you want to keep waiting for ghosted pitches and stalled proposals?
Or do you want your work out in the world?

As a former acquisitions editor who rarely said yes, I know how frustrating the system is. I’ve seen authors wait years on books they couldn’t revise, relaunch, rebrand, or grow because the house wasn’t interested in a companion title or a new direction. You don’t need to be stuck in that cycle.

Editing Services

While I no longer acquire books for traditional publishing, I’m happy to support authors who want to pursue that route. I can help you prepare your manuscript, proposal, and pitch materials so you can approach agents and houses with clarity, confidence, and a tight, compelling submission.

My editing style is developmental at its core: structural clarity, reader journey, emotional pacing, conceptual integrity, and voice protection. I help you say what you mean to say—more clearly, more powerfully, and more accessibly—so the reading experience builds trust, resonance, and change.

If you want help publishing or editing your work, I’m here to support you in a way that keeps you empowered, in control, and moving forward with clarity.

Published Products

I don’t just help other people publish their work—I publish my own. I understand what it means to shepherd an idea from the earliest draft through the long middle, the fear of visibility, the production curve, the launch strategy, the backlist maintenance, and the relationship between you and your readers over time.

Publishing my own work keeps me grounded. It keeps me honest. It keeps me connected to the same choices, uncertainties, and creative pressures you’re navigating. It’s why I run my business the way I do: transparent, rights‑respecting, and focused on empowering authors rather than absorbing them.

I’ve built my own imprint, published my own titles, and guided other writers through the same process. I know what it feels like to want your book out in the world without giving away your autonomy or being stuck in decision‑fog. And I know how to break the process down so it feels doable, humane, and aligned with your goals—not the industry’s defaults.

For a time, I considered becoming a hybrid publisher—someone who produces the book and manages marketing, sales, and retail in exchange for royalties. But that’s not the business model I want to run. I don’t want to own your work or stand between you and your readers.

Once in a while, there may be an author or idea I feel compelled to steward in a deeper way via the Marsh Press imprint. But by default, I want authors to keep control of their rights, their royalties, their timing, and their future.
