While your journey to publishing may be a steep learning curve, you can do it more easily with the right support. As an editor or coach, I’ve helped many authors, having fought through the whole publishing process myself. In fact, I’ve been writing and editing all kinds of literature since 2002. Some of my friends are good editors too.
While I’ve worked a lot on book design/layout and production, I’m best known for line editing of non-fiction. Helping to bring a book together based on a theme (writer coaching) for a target reader market also makes my heart sing. La, la, la!
Sick of reading contrary advice? Whatever you want to know about self-publishing, our author academy and ‘Book Creation Success Club‘ can probably help.
My writer’s blog also lets you know some of the pitfalls of self-publishing, as well as niche marketing, freelance business tips, and book profit advice. (Scroll to see articles).
Usually, writers and editors are different people, as they are different skill-sets. That said, I have been working as a copywriter, author and editor for 10 years — so I can actually do both. This makes my editing more helpful than straight proofreading editors.

Part of the Creative Ways with Money philosophy is knowing your own strengths, skills and resources and then finding creative new ways to share them with others. In the book, we do this through finding our life’s purpose (our Ikigai), knowing what’s real and what’s not, and applying our strengths…

Today, I want to talk about Publishing Assets, and what are they? Well, because publishing a book is such a lengthy endeavour, with a lot of time and money involved for sometimes small returns after the initial launch, people are looking at implementing other ideas that can also add value,…
POD sounds easy, but there’s a massive difference between an amateur and a professional when it comes to presentation. We stumbled around for weeks doing our best to make our book, There’s a Gold Mine in Your Head look like a real book. Then we found Jennifer. In a matter of days it came back looking like a real book, ready to send off. Not only that, but Jennifer gave us some great tips on self publishing and contacting libraries, and she was always available when we hit another roadblock. We can’t recommend her services highly enough.Donald and Harry Stallman
Working with Jennifer on my first ebook project was an absolute pleasure. Not only did she guide me through the publishing process but she also added invaluable editing advice along the way. Her professionalism and expertise is apparent in the quality of the finished product. I learnt a lot working with Jennifer and will not hesitate to seek her services to assist with my next project.Martin Hadfield
Jennifer Lancaster edited my book, “Creating Healthy Life Habits”. I was very impressed with Jennifer’s efficiency, professionalism and attention to detail. Jennifer made recommendations to the text, making suggestions to change sentences or the order of words, so that it read better, and also picked up some minor but very important grammatical and punctuation errors. I was very happy with her suggestions and the work she did. I would have no hesitation in using her again, and can highly recommend her services.Mandy Napier BSC
Jennifer has a very honest and friendly manner which makes working with her flow very easily. Her editing skills are clear and very helpful. Thank you Jennifer for your part in my journey towards publishing.Soraya Saraswati
