We call it, "Giving voice to your business messages."
Here you will find useful tips and tools to begin a publishing project or find assistance with one you have
already begun.
One of the most frequently asked questions is how to begin a project. The form below can assist with organizing your thoughts into a usable framework.
I encourage my clients to be reader-centric. Focus your attention as if you are the reader. Direct your thoughts as if you are in conversation with someone.
Also, speak in "plain English" (or your native tongue.) Some professionals launch into "hyper-speak" because they
think using "big words" makes them sound more intelligent. Actually, it sounds phony and can make people feel uncomfortable. For example, the word "utilize" is over used. Instead, the word "use" is preferable in most cases. Consider, "use" is to employ, usually to put something into action, or consume, more in depth, while "utilize" is a practical application of something. There is a nuance.
Tips & Tools
- Build a colorful vocabulary through reading everyday. It is a habit that pays off in business. -MC
- When using a word processor, use only one space after punctuation. In typewriter days, the spaces could not be adjusted for wide letters like Em's (where em dash comes from!) and W's.

There is a distinctive difference between proofreading and editing. Both require specific skills. Proofing is more of a mechanic review for punctuation and grammar while editing considers syntax, content and author's intentions and message. Scriptwriting and Speechwriting

This about 50% less than traditional publishing. If a book is printed, using POD (Print On Demand), you can estimate the cost for 500 books including four-color cover design, interior page design, editorial services (editing, ghostwriting, content consulting and proofreading) proofs are associated costs to be about $12,000. Cost variables to consider are paper selection, hard or soft cover, number of pages and design.
