hiring help to make edits in published book

[Diane]

I have discovered typos, etc that I need to fix in my book but can't do it myself due to technology incompetence.

I had Createspace format my book - as a paperback and ebook. I don't even have word - I gave them a google doc that i saved it was a word. I like what they did but have to fix some typos.

They really price gauge for a few edits if one is selling the paperback on KDP instead of Createspace.

Does anyone know somebody independent to do this? I've looked at fiverr.com and around on the web. One person clearly knew even less about what to do that I do. Which is scary.

I asked on the kdp forum and everyone told me that I have to do this myself. I find that hard to believe.

I have the word doc and the docs that are live on kidp.

thanks for your thoughts.

Ben- from our threads- his wife does things like that for me and they are very reasonable in what they charge. I don't know if they can do exactly what you need- but check out Indie Publishing Group and ask them- they are on here with blog spots every week- highlighting authors.

I provide formatting, but I'm not sure how fast you need this done. It's a busy week for me. Do you have the PDF file and/or the exact Word document they formatted? Did they provide you ..."

That's wonderful that the docs can be tweaked. This is not a crisis. Just knowing somebody can do it is a huge relief. I have the PDF, mobi and Word documents downloaded directly from Createspace.

I just tried to PM you but I am not able to PM anyone at the moment. I emailed Goodreads, but meanwhile, it would be wonderful if you could PM me or email me demeier50@gmail.com
