Hey there, I’m Sharyn, passionate editor, graphic designer and writer, here to help indie authors turn their first draft into a published masterpiece. With personalised service and expert guidance, I specialise in supporting your manuscript from inception to launch; from editing your novel to building your author website. Let’s embark on this creative journey together and bring your book to the world!
You start with an idea. You see another world as real to you as this one; characters come to life at your fingertips. Your first draft is completed. Now what? I’m here to walk alongside you as we refine your vision, shaping it into a narrative that brings your readers back to visit your world time and again.
Structural/Developmental Editing
A look at your novel’s flow, pacing and overall structure. The big picture editing; the longest part of the process.
Line/Content Editing
A line-by-line edit for consistency, grammar, voice and sentence structure to tighten your manuscript.
Copy-Editing & Proofreading
The final read-through to correct any spelling, font, layout issues or style inconsistencies.
Professional cover design tailored to the tone of your book and genre, suitable for both e-book and print editions.
Cover branding to achieve distinct visual consistency and recognition across all your publications.
Typesetting and interior layout design for both print and e-book editions and delivery of completed digital files packaged for publication.
Comprehensive support for your book’s publication and sales, including your author’s website, email marketing platforms, social media tools, ISBN acquisition, distributor guidance, assistance with uploading files, and a set of basic marketing materials to help you successfully launch your book and your brand.
Ever since I can remember, I’ve been a book lover and a daydreamer, with my head in a novel or a pen in my hand, scribbling my own stories. With a double major in English and Sociology at university, my journey into the world of words took a serendipitous turn in 2008 when I discovered online roleplaying games. I met many fellow dreamers there and soon became the go-to editor for their short stories, character journals, and novel drafts.
In 2020, I began helping indie authors navigate the exciting new world of self-publishing. Then midway through 2023, I finally began writing the first of my own series of novels that I hope to self-publish in the not-too-distant future.
There’s nothing quite like the joy of watching writers bring their visionary worlds and characters to life and helping them share their stories with their readers. As the literary landscape evolves, those once-distant dreams of aspiring authors are now within reach, and I’m thrilled to be part of that alchemy at Raven & Quill Publishing.
