Writerwerx University: Author Education and Book Development Services

With our free lessons, comprehensive list of services (from outlining to publication and promotion), immediate project start times (no waitlists), and transparent pricing (all prices are publicly visible on our website so there are no billing surprises), Writerwerx University educates you on how to publish your own work and provides services to those seeking professional assistance. We provide all of the services listed below, in addition to free, step-by-step, self-paced indie author education courses on Patreon.

The Writerwerx University Difference

• Transparent pricing. Instead of getting multiple invoices or having no idea what prices look like before you start interacting with us, we want to save your time and energy. On our website, the flat-rate pricing for each service is publicly available. You can even purchase your service directly from our website for even faster service delivery.
• All projects begin immediately. No waitlists or project scheduling necessary. Come to us the day you’re ready to purchase your service and we’ll get started the moment that both your payment and your manuscript are received. This is because we have a team of editorial professionals as part of our network, so there is always someone available to begin grooming your manuscript, creating your cover, or drawing your illustrations. No need for deposits. No need to wait weeks or months for your project to begin.
• Owned and managed by a career author. Unlike some editorial professionals, owner Tenesha L. Curtis is an author herself (18 books and counting!). This means she has up-to-date experience on what it’s like to publish a book in the current market. She brings this experience into each interaction with clients to help increase their chances of the kind of success they’ve been hoping for in the publishing world.
• Specializing in working with first-time authors. Tenesha’s background as a psychotherapist has given her the interpersonal skills needed to gently and patiently guide even the greenest of authors through the entire book development process. This same compassion and respect is shown even to seasoned authors who decide to partner with Writerwerx University.
• A comprehensive service experience. When working with a single freelancer, you’re limited to what that lone person can do based on their schedule, workload, and skill set. By partnering with all of the professionals involved with Writerwerx University, we serve you from the early stages of conceptualizing and outlining your book, on through to promoting and publishing the finished product. No need to shop for a new service provider whenever it’s time to move on to a new book development step (see all offered services below).

OUR SERVICES

Book Planning Help

• Book coaching (consultation about strategies for your specific project and goals).
• Outline creation (speaking with you about your book’s vision and helping you organize your thoughts related to that vision).
• Outline review (critiquing an outline you’ve already created in order to help with content organization, plot flow, character development, and reader expectation management). *Also available for screenplay beat sheets / treatments.*

Book Editing Help 

• Manuscript evaluation (send us your draft and we will provide a publication readiness rubric, executive summary of feedback, and in-line notes covering the problems with the piece and recommendations for repairing them)
• Developmental editing (we do a manuscript evaluation in order to create an editing plan to show you all that we plan on changing, then work with you to complete two full developmental editing passes to restructure the basic elements of your piece, including organization of content, plot design, character development, and world-building)
• Copy editing (we review your entire manuscript for grammatical problems such as misspelled words, missing words, inappropriate punctuation, and usage based on the Chicago Manual of Style and your project-specific style guide)

Book Design Help

• Illustrations (we use your desired image concepts to create mockups, line art, and final illustrations for your book’s interior).
• Cover design (we work with you to create a book cover that suits your genre and content)
• Book design (we format your book to display well on digital devices and print appropriately as paperback and hardcover books)

Book Publishing Services

• Publishing assistance (on a video or phone call, we walk you through setting up your publishing account on your platform of choice and uploading your files, including assisting you with troubleshooting should anything go awry during the process)
• Proofreading (we review your entire finished product in order to flag stubborn errors that have made it through the previous book development processes)
• Promotion (we share your book with our network of nearly 20,000 readers including our social media followers and Patreon subscribers)

 

We take on projects of just about any fiction or nonfiction genre, including poetry, erotica, children’s books, memoirs, and faith-based books.

With over two decades of experience in editing, writing, and publishing, Tenesha L. Curtis runs the company by treating every customer like a friend. With all services performed virtually and via phone, anyone around the world can have access to quality, affordable services to help turn their work into the masterpiece it was meant to be.
