Self-Publishing &

AI-Assisted Authors

You’ve written a book—now let’s make sure it reads like one.

Whether every word is yours or you drafted with AI assistance, I help you bring it to publication-ready clarity. My process combines editorial insight and technical precision, tailored for Amazon KDP and other self-publishing platforms. Together, we’ll make your words feel fully human and fully you.

What “KDP Editing” Means, Here

People often say: “It’s already edited; I just need formatting.”

But in reality, most so-called “clean manuscripts” still need tweaks. Maybe the tone feels robotic. Maybe the formatting got scrambled. Maybe the transitions don’t flow. That’s why I don’t treat editing and formatting as totally separate.

I will format your book, but I’ll also let you know if something feels off.
If needed, I’ll offer light rewriting or consistency work as an add-on, with your agreement.

If you’re looking for a $100 flat-rate formatting gig with no questions asked ... I don't do that.

But if you want your book to feel polished, professional, and truly yours, we’ll get there, together.

Best for Authors Who:

• Are preparing to publish on Amazon KDP or similar platforms

• Have a final draft that may need a second set of eyes

• Want light clarity improvements but still expect to see their own voice in the final version

• Need a professional-looking interior layout they can feel proud of

• Understand that quality takes time, and are open to per-project or hourly pricing

Let’s Get Your Book Ready for Readers

You’ve done the hard part. Now let’s make sure your words reach readers with clarity, confidence, and polish.

When you complete the project intake, I’ll review your draft and return a custom estimate with projected timeline based on your current goals and manuscript length.

One of my favorite projects:
A first-time author who became a published one with a little formatting help.

"Susan was absolutely phenomenal. I was a first-time author, and thanks to Susan, who honestly over- delivered with the extra material she provided, I am now officially a published author. Without her, my book would not look the way that it does, so kudos and much thanks to this awesome formatter! I am already working on my next book, and Susan is 100% on my list to work with."
