Thanks, Garfield!

Hey there, authors!

Some of you may know me already. I'm a professional beta reader and editor, and have been for the past two years, but now I'm making my foray into cover designing, at long last.

I will admit that I'm still a newbie, and I have a long way to go before I can grasp the complexity that is Adobe Photoshop, but I still want to get some hands-on experience.

I have a small portfolio of sample covers that I've designed (at the moment I'm only working with the YA and romance genres), which can be viewed upon request. I design covers using stock photos and fonts that are, of course, free for commercial use. I do not illustrate.

I would be very grateful if you, dear author, would be willing to give me a shot. :)

If interested, email at swati.geekediting@gmail.com to know more!

Thanks, and happy writing! :)

Are you looking for a voracious reader who can tell you the good, bad and ugly of your next novel's plot, storyline, characters and voice? Are you desperately seeking a dedicated grammar Nazi who will cut, clean and refine your work into near-perfect publishing shape?

Well, your search is over.

I'm here to offer my services as a beta reader and editor.

I've been in the business for about two and a half years now, and have already worked on close to a hundred manuscripts and short stories.
You can check out feedback from my former clients here: http://www.swatihegde.com/testimonials/

The services I'm offering are:

- Beta reading
I will get back to you within three to four weeks (depending on your word count) with a full beta report detailing any plot holes, inconsistencies, character development, plot structure, and my personal opinion, and regular updates every week.

- Editing
I will get back to you within four to six weeks (depending on your word count) with a highlighted, edited and polished Word copy of your novel, and regular updates every week.
(Proofreading, line editing and copy editing)

- Beta Reading & Editing (One after the other)
I will get back to you within two to three weeks (beta read), after which you can make the necessary changes and send the final copy to me. I will edit that draft within three to four weeks (again, depending on your word count).

At the moment, I am open to ALL GENRES.

I am proficient in both US and UK English.

I will also help edit queries and edit/write blurbs (will write if provided with a detailed synopsis, or if I've worked on your MS already) if you're in need of those services as well.

If you're interested, please email me at swati.geekediting@gmail.com with your word count and requirements, and I will get back to you with my rates.

I am currently booking for August and September.

Looking forward to working with you soon! :)
