Services

The Fern team is made up of people experienced in the art and craft of writing and producing books.

  • Writing coaching

    We represent your reader and assist you to transition from the initial drafting phase, which is necessarily intensive and self-absorbed, through to an awareness of the needs of your reader. As coaches, we are the intermediary between you, the author, and your audience.

  • Ghostwriting

    As ghostwriters, we are hired to write your manuscript and you are officially credited as the author with acknowledgement for the ghost writing.

  • Script Appraisal

    We supply feedback and appraisal on 5-6,000 words. Provide us with a summary of your book, preferably with the Contents page. Write a cover letter describing your reason for writing your book, the main themes, and the target market and audience.

  • Editing

    There are various types of editing and, if you are to do the job well, you will need to work through several layers.


    We assist you, either in person or online, to work through your structural and copy editing. 


    We can help by showing you some sample editing that demonstrates the general principles. Once alerted to the issues, you could then carry on with the process.


    Otherwise, we supply skilled professional craftspeople to do the work for you.

  • Proofreading

    When your manuscript is well proofread, it will be easy to read, with no misspellings or clumsy punctuation obstacles to inhibit the flow.


    It is essential that someone carries out a careful check for errors in spelling, punctuation, grammar, formatting and typing.


    We recommend that you purchase Grammarly Premium to help you work through the  proof-reading stage.


    Otherwise, we supply skilled proofreaders to do the work for you.

  • General Research

    We offer support, guidance and specialist advice in the research process.


    Otherwise, we supply skilled researchers to do the work for you.

  • Image Research

    An illustrated book is enhanced by well-researched pertinent imagery. We offer support, guidance and specialist advice in the process.
