Editorial and Self-Publishing Guidance For Speculative Fiction Authors
EV Editing helps authors navigate the self-publishing process with confidence and creative control.
Explore editorial and publication management services designed for authors looking to publish professionally. Take your book to market without giving up rights or decision-making.
Professional End-to-End Self-Publishing Guidance
Self-publishing offers freedom and flexibility. However, it can also leave you managing a long list of editorial, production and publication decisions on your own.
For many authors, self-publishing is well worth the investment of time and money, but the practical side of publication can quickly become more demanding than it first appears.
***
EV Editing brings structure and professional guidance to that process, without taking over the decisions that should remain yours.
I work with speculative fiction authors who want thoughtful editorial direction and a clearer path to publication.
You keep creative control throughout, while I provide the insight and process needed to help you move forward with confidence.
If you are seeking a professional editorial or self-publishing partnership for your speculative fiction manuscript, I’d love to hear from you.
You keep your rights and final approval
Your manuscript, files, accounts, ISBN decisions and rights stay with you. You remain the creative lead throughout.
Speculative fiction specialist
I work exclusively with speculative fiction, including fantasy, science fiction, dystopian, supernatural, horror, paranormal and genre-blending fiction.
Clear, structured support at every stage
You get a clear process and defined stages with direct communication throughout the project.
A selective, high-touch service
I work with a limited number of projects, so each author gets focused, thoughtful support.
Human-only editorial work
All editorial feedback and client deliverables are completed by a human editor. Your manuscript is never uploaded into generative AI tools.
Publisher-level guidance
EV Editing helps you shape a stronger book and support informed publishing decisions.
Services and Packages
Not every manuscript needs the same kind of help. Some authors need clear developmental guidance before revising. Others want one editorial partner from structural work through final polish. Others want expert support throughout publication.
EV Editing offers three ways to work together.
-
A focused developmental editing service for authors who need big-picture feedback before moving on to later stages.
The Standalone Developmental Edit package is ideal for strengthening story structure, character development, pacing and worldbuilding before you begin deeper revision work.
-
A complete editorial package for authors requiring consistent support from structural revisions through to the final polish.
This package brings together developmental editing, copyediting and proofreading into a cohesive process, providing you with a streamlined, professionally guided editorial journey.
-
An end-to-end service for authors seeking expert input beyond the editorial stages.
Alongside full editorial support, this package also includes guidance through the key stages of self-publishing, from production planning and formatting to cover development and upload support.
