DISCLAIMER:
Service Provider Contracts are not supplied by IAX in any form or fashion. The service providers listed on this site, have been vetted by IAX to be reliable, professional, and of a level of quality, but any contracts for hire are expected to be handled between / provided by the Provider and/or the Customer [i.e. the author]. IAX bears no responsibility over mediating or overseeing the transactions between Provider and Customer. We do not collect commission, royalty, or revenue in any way from any transaction. The prices and services remain wholly controlled by the service provider.
However, if you do encounter any issues (either with a service provider or a customer) please use the "Rate Your Experience" form or contact Atlas at indieauthorconnect@gmail.com.
PLEASE NOTE:
Editors typically charge based on word count, so you may see a range from $0.01 to $0.025 (or higher) per word depending on their rates. This would mean that a 50k word book charged at $0.015 per word, would cost ~$750 to edit.
Also, be aware that most editors offer a free sample edit (this is dependent on the total word count -- lower content books may not be eligible for a free edit, or the sample size may be much smaller). This is highly encouraged as it gives both the author and the editor a chance to determine if the relationship is the best fit. It may also be beneficial as some editors may lower their rate if the manuscript is relatively clean already. Be sure to discuss these options with the editor you choose to work with!
I have been immersed in stories my whole life but only thought about the power of it at age 35 when I started writing on a whim. Since then, I have become an accomplished author, speaker, and podcaster, focusing on crafting stories that bring hope, healing, and vision, whether through fiction or in real life. With five published books of my own, a long list of happy clients and more to come, I also help coach others on telling their stories. I love learning, having conversations, and firing up my passion to help people understand their inherent worth and goodness.

With a background in both education, and marketing I've been working as a copywriter/editor, a ghostwriter, and PR/Marketing professional since 2020. My background includes a Bachelor's degree in Communication with a specialization in emerging media. I've completed multiple projects and worked on various stages in the author space. Not only is my work in the author space I also work as a social media manager, marketing/business consultant, and have experience in ad space. My husband and I run Shook&Co, a web design company that helps with web development and I also do copy and graphic design for it. I love to read and though I tend to keep my marketing business separate from my reading/writing, the two worlds often intersect (like here). I'm neurodivergent, a big fan of parenthesis, and will always root for the oxford comma. As an enneagram 9, I'm always happy to help people, sometimes to my own detriment. I don't believe in gatekeeping and am always willing to help others where I can.

I've been teaching script writing for over ten years in Ireland and have recently published my first book Verses in the Sand. I've been teaching about narratives, story arcs and characters etc. So I've been an unofficial developmental editor for the last ten years or so. I've recently been reading some indie author works and feel that they could have benefited from stronger narratives. As I'm new to the field. I'm going to offer my services for free to one user.
