Editorial & Design Services

Here at CHI (Crystal Heart Imprints) we believe every person has a story worth sharing. We work hard to remove the hurdles that stand between would-be authors and their would-be readers.

​

One of the biggest hurdles in this era of publishing is the cost of professional editing. We suggest that you make use of free services, such as Grammarly, and give your story a critical eye while keeping the Chicago Manual of Style (massive tome or cheat sheet) nearby. Just these two things can save you a lot of time and money as you don’t want a professional editor using their time to explain things you could have caught by using these tools. Make every second you pay a professional a second that counts!

 

The editors and designers listed here are devoted to making their services as affordable and as effective as possible. If you hire someone to help you with developmental editing, they won’t waste your time pointing out where you used “which” instead of “that” or that you keep using the British version of gray. They will help you develop a story that your readers can’t put down! These editors are independent professionals and recommended by CHI, but are not employed by CHI. Please contact them directly for pricing and availability.
