Dark Harbor Publishing is a service… Not a book publisher

Book Publishing

We offer everything the organization or independent writer needs to self-publish their work: editing, formatting, and book cover-design for print or eBook. We will walk you through the maze of services like KDP  (Amazon’s publishing portal) Goodreads, and more.

Editing

One of the biggest mistakes you can make as a author is not getting your book edited properly. Sure, we’ve all seen books on the market with poor editing, some by best selling authors. If you’ve noticed these errors, so has everyone else. What this means is that if you expect your work of art to stand above the rest it needs to be edited professionally.
The galleys
Editing for plot & story continuity. Includes basic paragraph and sentence structure issues – $45 per hour – For example, a 60,000 word novel = $1000+ 
(Several good Beta readers should be able to take care of this for you and should be done before a final edit.)
Final edit 
Cleans up grammar and punctuation – $20 per 1,000 words – For example, a 60,000 word novel = $1200
