Publishing Services for Independent Authors

Writing a book can take years of hard work and dedication. When you're done with your revisions and finally dot that last i and cross that last t, what's next? The road to seeing your book in print, of course. There is no feeling in the world like holding the first physical proof copy in your hands—seeing your words, your thoughts in black and white, your name on the cover.

We understand that feeling.

With more than 13 years of editing experience, Sleeping Cat Books offers you, the author, the quality service and individualized attention you and your manuscript deserve. Whether you are looking for a professional freelance editor to polish your manuscript before sending it to agents or publishing houses/editors, or are thinking about self-publishing, Sleeping Cat Books is here to help you prepare your manuscript for publication in print or electronic form.

We offer many services, from copy editing or proofreading the manuscript to print interior formatting and ebook formatting. We can even help with your print or ebook cover needs. Please let us know how we can help you!

Copy Editing

We will copy edit your manuscript for the basics such as spelling, grammar, and punctuation, but also for consistency of point of view, character details, and plot line for fiction. We will create a Style Sheet as we edit, and provide this to you along with the redlined manuscript.

Proofreading

We will proofread your edited and typeset document for the basics of spelling, grammar, and punctuation, and also for layout issues such as rivers, widows, and orphans.

Print Interior Book Formatting

We will create a customized design for the interior of your book, to the proper specifications for your trim size, and print-on-demand or short-run printing service.

Ebook Formatting

We will create a customized design for your ebook, in .epub and .mobi formats.

What Some of Our Clients Have to Say:

I sent my book in a Microsoft Word file to Sarah and she gave, in return, an awesome formated book, easy to read and a beautiful design. I will certainly come back to her for the same purpose.
—Dennis Ripoll, Author of La muerte filosófica de Marie Duvalier

Sarah is great to work with. She is patient, responds quickly, educated me when I needed education, and gave her own ideas which helped to create a great book and a great book cover. Highly recommend her and will definitely use her services again!
—Cindy Samborski, Author of Nursing, an Amazing Career

Sarah is a joy to work with. Accurate, professional and fast, she's everything you could hope for in a copy editor.

A great editor to work with. Careful and understanding, supportive and professional. Who could ask for more?

...I had previously written and re-written Chapter One several times but was never happy with it. Your fresh eyes and expertise have enabled me to finally get it right...
—Patrick Simpson, Author of Desert Angels, Winner of the Jada Press 2004 Nonfiction Book of the Year for Whither Thou Goest, Associate member of Western Writers of America

Sarah's copy editing helped me get published. She points out where wording doesn't make sense and finds the grammar errors.
