Book Editing

Help for Writers: www.mikewalshwritingservices.wordpress.com

ARE YOU AN UNPUBLISHED NOVELIST

If you have written or partly completed a novel or biography but lack the skills to bring your work to retail standard Mícheál Walsh can help you. Enquiries are invited from writers who have completed or part completed their book. If you are simply thinking about writing a book or have only an idea about a storyline then I am sorry but I cannot respond to such requests. There is a demand for fiction, real-life stories, mystery, romance, crime, erotica, and romantic comedy.  Contact Mícheál Walsh: keyboardcosmetics@gmail.com

GHOSTS ARE IMPORTANT

Most writers engage a ghostwriter who will bring their book to retail standards. Editing fees are recoverable through the book’s royalties. Eighty per cent of celebrity memoirs and forty per cent of conventional books are ghost-written. Besides, like composing music or working artwork it is an achievement even if it does not become a best-seller.

The ghost or editor is a professional writer who adds flair and flow whilst enhancing the narrative and dialogue. Writers like Jeffrey Archer and Wilbur Smith do not write books. They provide the storyline and their ghost does the rest.

Mícheál Walsh charges a reduced rate of €25 (£20 / $25) per 1,000 words. Mícheál Walsh has his name on the cover of over 70 books and novels. He received the ‘Writer of the Year’ award from the Euro Weekly News Group.

Mícheál Walsh adds flair and flow to your submitted story whilst enhancing the narrative and dialogue. Working from emailed copy (I cannot work from handwritten work), I complete work at paid stages easily transferred to my British or Spanish bank account.  This means you don’t get the entire bill on completion of your book. NOTE: Copywriting from a submitted manuscript is not available.

It is possible, for example, for your ghost to bring a 40,000-word submitted novel to 50,000 or more words. Working together he can bring your novel up to normal retail size. Writers’ agents and book publishers normally require a minimum of 50,000 words. Book-buying popularity: Romance, Erotica, Romantic-Comedy, and crime.

BOOK PUBLISHING OPTIONS

AMAZON / KINDLE and LULU are online book publishers. Drawing attention to your book is your responsibility and the royalties are about 15%. We can prepare and upload your book at an agreed fee that is competitive.

BOOK PRINTING is a viable option. Your book is printed in any quantity from 200 copies. About one month after placing your order your printed paperbacks arrive on your doorstep. Your circumstances will decide the best way to sell them.

In all cases, the copyright is yours as is the responsibility for the content. Royalties can be as high as 70 per cent for those you sell; you obviously allow for seller’s margins (35%) and salesperson commissions (20%) if you decide to let others do the work.
