Explore Editing, Critique, and Layout Services

Looking for some help with your fiction project? Roberto has been published by mainstream publishers, published serially, self-published, and digitally published, so he knows all aspects of the industry. But he’s also had time on the other side of the manuscript.

He has been a news reporter, a magazine editor, a graphic designer, a developmental editor for several novels, a creative writing teacher, and he ran a well-known writer’s critique and workshop group for seven years. Whether you need a quick read and critique, intensive developmental editing, or professional print-layout and design for your book, Roberto’s got you.

With his background in history Roberto is particularly well-suited to edit historical fiction and historical fantasy. He also has a strong background in fantasy and science fiction editing. And as a graphic designer for more than 25 years, he has a wealth of skills to offer when laying out your print book.

Take advantage of the low introductory prices currently on the site. When Roberto finds out they’re this low, he will sacrifice one of our interns to Pluhiro, God of Feathers.
