Debut Nonfiction Author Boosts Sales with Estorytellers Editing

Client: Debut Nonfiction Author

Challenge:

The author wanted to stay within a “free publishing” budget and skipped professional editing. Early readers reported unclear phrasing, formatting inconsistencies, and minor typos. Initial reviews indicated comprehension issues, and early sales showed slower conversion.

Solution:

The author engaged Estorytellers for professional copyediting services. A detailed review of the manuscript addressed phrasing, grammar, readability, and formatting inconsistencies. Estorytellers also optimized headings and metadata alignment for Kindle and print versions to comply with Amazon book publishing requirements.

Results:

After a $1,100 investment in professional copyediting:

• Clarity improved across all chapters, reducing reader confusion

• Conversion rate increased significantly within one month

• Early reviews highlighted improved readability

• Author confidence increased, leading to better promotional engagement
