People tell me to get a niche. I’m not a niche Ned.
So I decided to open a library instead.

Now both of us will not have to settle for cubicle-like futures.
You know, people like those I’ll call Uncle Ned. My niche is doing what I love, not a niche Ned. I love creating books. I would love to create a lovely book for you and I know how to do it, have the software to do it, and can either teach you how to do these things or do them for you.
Not a niche Ned
is like that nut you crack open with one of those nutcracker soldiers at Chrismas with Uncle Ned who gets hit in the skull by some of the flying debris when the Brazil nut slips. You see, I have trained myself to be a Ninjajill publishing phenomenon, and we sometimes use advertising to similar but better effect. We get results because we got your attention. And really, Ned had that due karma.
Back to the books and services I have available; niche aside, run the gamut from proofreading to editing to document conversion to press to publishing to web to moocs to books and all the content and art between. Because loving one’s work produces the very best work. I can absolutely and unconditionally guarantee your satisfaction if you have me work for you.
I’ve worked at two newspapers, two print shops, and a publishing company to gain many years worth of real-world experience in presentation, design, marketing, camera-work, estimating, proofing, printing, and the millennia of other aspects required to produce good print material.

My standard rates are for editing jobs (assumes double-spaced pages, font no smaller than 10pt) are reasonable, practicable, established via first review estimate.
For editing and formatting jobs requiring an unusual degree of time and effort (e.g., those containing many illustrations, special formatting, indices, etc.), additional hourly charges may apply. Therefore, in order to receive a firm bid on a formatting or editing job you will need to submit a sample chapter for review and analysis. My rate is a very reasonable $59.00 per hour.
Some of my published works are to be found in the galleries.
