01

Ghostwriting & Full Publishing Pipeline

Independent Publisher · Amazon KDP
Situation
An established Amazon publisher with a successful billionaire-romance catalog wanted to expand into light novel isekai romance — a genre requiring completely different writing style and visual identity.
Approach
Ghostwrote the full manuscript, then handled thorough revision, editing, and proofreading in-house. Formatted the book for both print and KDP. Developed a comprehensive cover concept document detailing color theme, character descriptions, ambience, and title placement to guide the illustrator. Sourced qualified illustrators and reviewed final Amazon metadata before publication.
Book successfully published on Amazon KDP. Client commissioned Book 2 — currently in progress.
02

Full Editorial & Publishing Pipeline

First-Time Author · Fiction Trilogy · Amazon KDP
Situation
A first-time author completed his trilogy manuscript but had no publishing experience and needed end-to-end support to launch professionally.
Approach
Full developmental editing and rewriting across the entire manuscript, tightening plot structure while preserving the author’s voice. After approval, conducted a second round of proofreading, formatted for KDP and print, provided cover and blurb guidance, and delivered a launch strategy covering social teasers, release announcements, and mailing-list building.
Author immediately continued with Books 2 and 3. Book 2 currently in progress.
03

Reader-Retention & Marketing Strategy

Romance Author · Pay-to-Read Platform
Situation
Active romance author on pay-to-read platforms looking to grow readership and earnings with no real social presence beyond a new YouTube channel.
Approach
Developed a personalized strategy grounded in pay-to-read reader psychology. Delivered book-optimization guidance for reader retention and coin-gate conversion, a platform roadmap (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts, Pinterest), content pillars for her genre and audience, and a content calendar with posting frequency and analytics tracking.
Strategy delivered and currently being implemented.

Publishers and authors, in their own words.

Sophia delivered a strong trial submission in a competitive selection process for a sapphic romance ghostwriting project. She handled dual POV very well and fully matched the target register. Her writing shows strong emotional intelligence and control at the sentence level. We’ve commissioned her for a full novel based on this work.

Sapphic Late-Bloomer Romance Publisher Original Ghostwriting · New Pen Name

Thank you for your trial submission, which was genuinely impressive. I’m pleased to inform you that we would like to move forward with you. Your handling of both voices, and particularly the Alison chapter, is exactly the register we are looking for.
