Gary James offers professional book editing, book formatting, production, ghostwriting, web content, and project management. Member: EFA, ACES

Offering collaborative and personalized:

• Copy editing, line editing, and proofreading
• Ghostwriting

• Image placement and coordination with graphic designers and cover art
• Management – getting your book on publishing sites

Amazon, Ingramspark, Lulu, and Draft2Digital are all part of the world of self-publishing. And there are others. I can assist you with the ins and outs of getting the manuscript you created into a publication following the specific requirements for online production, including the book cover, the creation of ebook and print metadata, assistance in coordinating and choosing distribution channels in addition to editing needs.

I started Jamesgang creative + communications in 2008 to offer freelance services in marketing and branding, having spent my career in advertising and public relations (becoming accredited in public relations in 2001.)  I collaborated with other freelancers and directly with clients, producing annual reports, advertising, and P.R. campaigns, collateral print and publications, websites, and blogs.

If you visit my awards page, you’ll see many for copywriting and creative direction as well as public relations:  Addys, Hermes, Silver Anvil, Association of Museums, and others.  You don’t win copywriting awards if you aren’t able to listen to the client and understand their brand. And that is what led me to work with authors.

In 2015, I decided it was time to do something else with the skills I had honed in my career: writing, editing, creative direction, art direction, production, and account management. Working as an editor and formatted seemed a logical step to utilize my skills in both art direction and writing, in a much less stressful environment than branding.

And I bring this experience to every author with whom I work!
