Sally Collings Services

Services

Every book is a journey. I work with authors and experts at all stages—from first idea to final pitch—to make their journey strategic, streamlined, and successful.

Whether you’re aiming for traditional publishing or exploring independent paths, I offer hands-on support to help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

Here’s how we can work together:

BOOK STRATEGY

Outcome: Confidence, structure, and a clear plan for moving forward.

 

Book strategy labs start from $10,000 and are completed in 6-8 weeks.

You have a spark. I help you shape it into a full concept, with a strong hook, clear reader promise, and strategic structure.
You walk away with a roadmap—and the confidence to start writing with direction and purpose.

Together, we shape a book that’s clear, focused, and ready to come to life.

Outcome: A polished manuscript with stronger structure, flow, and voice.

 

Big-picture editing projects start from $20,000 depending on the level of support required, and are completed in 3-4 months.

Here, I get hands-on. You bring the draft; I bring the structure, strategy, and stylistic polish. This is developmental editing.
I reshape, refine, and strengthen your manuscript chapter by chapter—bringing your ideas into sharper focus while keeping your voice true.

Together, we turn your rough draft into a compelling, professional book.

Book Proposal
Editing & Support

Outcome: A pitch-ready proposal + a clear strategy for querying agents and publishers.

 

Book proposal support starts from $10,000; the typical engagement runs for 1-3 months.

Whether you’re starting with an idea, rough notes, or a full draft, I help you shape a powerful, market-ready book proposal.
You’ll have the positioning, sample material, and pitching strategy you need to get your book into the right hands.

Together, we craft a market-ready proposal and pitching plan, ready to spark offers from agents and publishers.

Outcome: A finished manuscript + a publishing and platform roadmap.

 

Full manuscript development programs start from $40,000 and typically run 6-9 months.

You’re in the driver’s seat—I’m alongside you, offering strategic feedback, coaching, and developmental editing as you draft your manuscript.
We keep momentum strong with regular check-ins, clear goals, and ongoing refinement of your ideas and structure.

I’m here to help you move forward with confidence. My services are designed to meet you where you are, and guide you through what’s next—with a clear process and trusted industry insight.
