About UsAt Author Services by Cu, I believe that the client has a right to quality work at affordable prices. Many independent authors can do the work they need done themselves, they simply don't have the time. Why should they have to pay hundreds of dollars for things that only cost the creator a small fraction of the price they charge? That's where I come in.
As an avid lover of all things books, I enjoy helping out other authors bring their dreams to life. While I wish I could charge nothing for my services, I do charge less than anyone else who knows the jobs in the industry. |
Our History |
As an author myself, I was frustrated by the high costs people wanted to do simple editing and cover art. After paying hundreds of dollars, I found my work still needed to be edited again because the editor was missing major problems with the storyline, or had changed the spelling of created words, or any number of other things that are most commonly found when an editor doesn't actually read the work they're supposed to be correcting.
I love to read, and I go over each and every manuscript with a fine-toothed comb to make sure that if anything is missed, it's not something the average reader will notice. I by no means claim to be perfect in this profession, but I have been told on several occasions that I have an eye for errors; that I find things no one else noticed. After a few years beta reading already edited ARCs, I decided that to better provide for my children, I had better stop doing it for free. At the same time, I didn't want to be greedy and charge the amounts that other editors charged and so I came up with my own, affordable, rates. Rates I knew that I, myself, would be able to pay someone to do the work. |
