Author Services

Whether you're looking to publish your book through Soul Wings® Press, self publish, or preparing your manuscript for submission to a traditional publisher; we can provide all the tools you’ll need to create the best book possible.

Soul Wings® Press has a team of professionals ready to help build your book. Whether you need assistance with writing, designing, or publishing your book, Soul Wings® Press can help you make your dreams of becoming a published author come true!

If you plan to submit your manuscript to a traditional publisher for consideration, you will need to make a great first impression. Soul Wings® Press can help! A professional manuscript review enables you to put your best foot forward, by highlighting your book's weaknesses and strengths.


Publishing services:

There are literally hundreds of steps associated with publishing your own book - everything from editing and proofreading to obtaining ISBNs and registering your book for distribution. Let the professionals at Soul Wings® Press help you navigate this maze of tasks. We have the know-how, the organizational skills, the patience to do the job right, and to get the job done by deadline!

To learn what your next step is in the publishing process, submit three chapters of your manuscript to Soul Wings® Press (soulwingspress@gmail.com) for evaluation. One of our publishing experts will be in touch with you to consult with you about your goals, your dreams, and how we can help you to achieve them.


Manuscript reviews:

Most publishing projects start here. Whether you're writing a self-help book, a memoir, or the next best-selling novel, every book needs a thorough inspection to work out any "bugs." Your partner, your mother, and your best friend may all have read your book, and all said it’s great! Would they jeopardize their relationship with you by saying otherwise? At Soul Wings® Press, our manuscript reviews are conducted by unbiased, highly experienced literary experts who will pick apart your book in ways you never thought possible.

With fiction, we do a line-by-line analysis of the story and character development, pointing out any inconsistencies or unanswered questions that may arise for the reader.

For non-fiction, we closely examine your work, analyzing argument, thesis development, and again, pointing out inconsistencies and unanswered questions.

For both fiction and non-fiction, we do a complete first edit, clearing up wordy writing and muddy phrases, checking facts where appropriate, and correcting spelling, punctuation, and grammar mistakes that spell check and grammar check programs always fail to catch. All work is done according to the Chicago Manual of Style, the accepted standard in the publishing industry.

Each manuscript review includes a written analysis with numbered comments, and an edited manuscript. The manuscript reviewer goes over each and every comment with the author and gives specific feedback on the author's writing style and how it might be improved.

We know it’s not much fun to have someone pick apart your writing, but Soul Wings® Press' professionals are kind, gentle, and infinitely supportive. Once you've heard our comments you will almost certainly be glad of the opportunity to do one last rewrite, so that your work is truly ready to make its publishing debut. Authors who've gone through this process say it's well worth the time and effort to produce the best book possible!

Cost: Varies, between $9-$12 per 300-word manuscript page. Final price is set based on the writing sample submitted.

The following guidelines apply for both electronically submitted manuscripts, as well as hard copies that are sent through the mail.

2.   In your cover letter, please give the following information:

      *   Include a brief description of the manuscript's subject (non-fiction) or a brief synopsis of the story (fiction).
