About Brian and Client Testimonials
Brian Moreland is a uniquely skilled book designer, editor, writer, publishing consultant and guide through the complex business of book publishing. More than just a publishing expert who has done it all, he is also author of 10 books with over 25 years experience writing and publishing books.
How Brian can help you design and publish your book:
The
ever-changing business of publishing can be confusing, expensive, and time-consuming.
Often authors have written a book (or unedited manuscript), but are not sure what to do next. Do you invest in
self-publishing (as an indie publisher) or go the traditional publishing
route, which often requires having a literary agent, giving up rights, and lots of patience? Is your book ready to be published, or does it need editing? Is it formatted and structured properly? Do you need someone to professionally lay out the print book interior? Do you go with offset printing or print-on-demand? Do you hire an illustrator or provide your own images? What about obtaining an ISBN and barcode? And, if you're self-publishing, how do you set the book up with a printer, get distribution so that your book is selling on Amazon and other online book stores?
Brian can answer all these questions and provide all the services and editing and design team necessary to guide your book from raw, unedited manuscript to published book selling on Amazon and other online book stores around the world.
"As a first time author I didn't know what to expect from an
editor. I had heard horror stories of run away costs, unfinished
projects, and wasted time. Brian was recommended to me from someone I
respected. Brian's pricing is fair. He does what he says he will do, and
guided me along the way. We have completed four books now, and I look
forward to working with him on future projects."
--Cindy Arledge, Four time best selling author

“WOW! I love the comments you added, they are right on. Already, a few of your comments brought levity to the material. The idea of restructuring the intro and the first chapter are great. Adding the conclusion is brilliant. I could go on-and-on about your remarks, suffice it to say, again, I love it!”

“Brian has not only been an outstanding editor and
contributor to this book, but has been a coach, director, and close friend.
Without Brian, this book would not have turned out on time or with the level of
literary quality it is. Brian’s contributions were nothing short of
spectacular.”
