About Me
I have been writing for 21 years and publishing for 14. I’ve been an Amazon Top 100 seller and frequently had books break into the Top 100 on Amazon. I am published traditionally and independently, both under Amy Sparling and Cheyanne Young.
I have a Master of Library Science degree from Texas Woman’s University. Having self-published over 85 books myself, I am vastly experienced in book formatting, cover design, social media, marketing, promotion, and of course, writing an engaging novel.
Testimonials
“When I got the rights back for my series, Amy was my go-to resource for publishing advice. Her long-term success in the indie publishing world has given her the knowledge needed to help other writers succeed. She also designed the covers for the novellas in my series and assisted with interior formatting. Highly recommend!”
-Jennifer DiGiovanni
“I’m a self-publishing newbie, so whether I had a question about Vellum formatting or how to get going with Kindle Direct, I knew immediately who to contact. With her years of experience, Amy Sparling is my go-to person. She’s also super nice and encouraging–a definite plus!”
-Patricia B. Tighe
Proofreading
Please fill out this form if you’d like to book me for proofreading services. 50% of the cost is required upfront via PayPal. The remaining 50% will be due upon receiving the proofread manuscript.
PRICING: $0.003 per word
$50 Rush fee (72 hour turnaround)
For example, a 67,000 word manuscript would cost $201
With this service, I read all manuscripts three times; twice as a Word document (or Google Doc) and once on my Kindle. All typos are noted via Track Changes in Word, or using the same feature in Google Docs. I can’t guarantee to catch every single typo because I’m only human, but I do the absolute best I can! I do NOT edit your story. I just check for typos, inconsistencies in spellings, problems in formatting, wrong word usage (break instead of brake, etc).
TURNAROUND TIME: Manuscripts are proofread and returned within 10 days after you email it to me.
After I return your manuscript file, I delete your manuscript from my devices. It is never kept on any of my accounts or on my computer.
If you send me the Amazon/Goodreads link to your book once it’s published, I will leave an honest review as a courtesy, because I would’ve have read your book, after all, so I might as well review it. 🙂
