What we do
Everything a book needs to find its readers.
Author Growth works across the whole life of a book: strengthening the manuscript before publication, then positioning, launching and growing it after. Every service has the same aim, to build the path between your book and the readers most likely to care about it.
A stronger manuscript.
Your manuscript doesn’t have to be finished before you ask for help. We help you understand what the draft needs, then match you with the right support.
Beta Reading
An engaged reader’s honest response: where the manuscript holds attention, where it loses it, and what stays with them.
Developmental and Structural Editing
Big-picture work on structure, pacing, character and argument, so the foundations are sound.
Line Editing
Sentence-level work on voice, rhythm, clarity and flow, keeping the prose unmistakably yours.
Copy Editing
Careful correction of grammar, punctuation, consistency and usage, ready for publication.
Manuscript Feedback
A focused assessment of the draft’s strengths and the changes that would make the biggest difference.
General Editorial Guidance
Help working out what the manuscript needs, and in what order, before you commit to a service.
A book that readers can find, choose and return to.
Seven specialist services, used on their own or together. Not sure where to begin? Start with the free book audit and we’ll show you where the biggest opportunities are.
Book Positioning
Define who the book is for, where it belongs and the promise it makes. The foundation every other service stands on.
Discoverability Strategy
Categories, keywords, metadata and retail presence, aligned with how your readers actually search and browse.
Reader Growth
Newsletters, read-through and reader relationships that turn a first sale into a lasting readership.
Author Platform
A professional home for your work: website, bio, newsletter and the one or two channels that suit you and your readers.
Book Launch Strategy
A launch with a clear audience, sequence and purpose, for new releases, relaunches and series.
Content & Audience Strategy
Content that attracts the readers most likely to love your books, at a pace that leaves time to write.
Book Translation
New editions in Spanish, German, French, Italian or Portuguese, managed end to end and positioned for that market.
Foundations first. Then momentum. Then longevity.
Foundations
A strong manuscript, a clear promise and a book that can be found. Manuscript help, positioning and discoverability come first because every later effort depends on them.

Momentum
Putting the book in front of the right readers, at the right moment, with the right message. This is where a launch plan and considered content do their work.
