Ghostwriting/Book Collaboration
Amy can put your thoughts and dreams into words.
If you don't have the time, the talent or the
inclination to write for yourself, consider
hiring a partner. Together we can produce books,
articles, and speeches.
“I recently had the pleasure of working with Amy Hagberg to write my biography. I had a story to tell and no idea how to do it. The knowledge and experience she brought to the process was priceless from the proposal to the finished, published, product. It was a difficult story to write, but she made the task easier than I could've ever expected. She was able to stay true to my thoughts and feelings while writing in a way to make everything desirable for the reader. If you are looking for a writer for your story, Amy is definitely the one.”
David Parnell, author of Facing the Dragon
Book
Proposals
Now that you've taken the time
to write the next big bestseller, you need to
sell it to a publisher. Let Amy help you put
structure to your presentation, by developing
a hard-sitting book proposal.
Editing
"Amy brought a unique preciseness to my
writing that I couldn not have achieved on my
own. She is uniquely gifted in maintaining the
writer's individuality and style even while
overhauling the structure to achieve its maximum
impact. If you are serious about having a powerful
message that is accessible to any reader, Amy
Hammond Hagberg should be your first call."
— Darek Isaacs, author of
The Extinction of Evolution
Present your hard work in the best
light possible to readers and potential publishers
by having it professionally edited. My services
include:
- Proofreading - I'll check
your fully-edited manuscript for errors in
spelling, grammar, punctuation and document
formatting.
- Copyediting - This is a
line-by-line review of a manuscript. In addition
to basic proofreading, I'll review the following:
sentence structure, redundancies, word choice/usage,
and subject-verb agreement.
- Developmental/Content Editing
- (Also known as "book doctoring")
In addition to copyediting, a substantive
edit will help the author clarify ambiguities,
and correct conceptual and content problems.
I will suggest additions and deletions to
improve your work, but the decision to make
changes will be up to the author.

After reviewing your manuscript, I'll provide
you with feedback on its strengths and weaknesses
and potential marketability.
