Hey there, Hot-Stuff. 😉
Hey there, Hot-Stuff. 😉
If you’ve found your way to this neck of the woods...
You’ve probably written a rockin' book that needs editing.
Or maybe…
You’re still in the birthing throes of writing that bad boy…
And you want a master storyteller & expert writer + editor to help you kick it up a notch.
Perhaps — ahem — you haven’t actually started writing it yet (👀)…
But you want an experienced professional to support you in getting organized (and maybe light a fire under your coat tails 🔥).
Jordan is absolutely amazing at what she does! My book would have never been completed if not for her professional contribution.

No matter what stage you’re in…
If you have an unconventional, otherworldly, or just straight up “different” story + message to share…
Whether it be fictional, based on real events, a memoir or biography, or even a technical field guide...
Whether you wish to use it as a marketing asset to grow your business…
Or create a new passive income stream…
AND you intend to self-publish (or you want a really, really solid manuscript before you start pitching publishers)...
Then, Honey, look no further. 😎
If we haven’t already met, my name is Jordan Templeton.
I’m a classically-trained writer, editor, & award-winning former journalist with 20 years of professional writing + editing experience.
My first paid gig was covering middle school sports for my local newspaper, which I landed at just 11 years old. I've also been freelance consulting in small-press design & editing since 2013.
In addition to my "field experience," I hold an M.A. in English from Emporia State University in Emporia, KS, where I also taught persuasive & creative writing for about four years.
When it comes to birthing any genre of book, my philosophy is simple.
I believe Epic Stories…
…are made to be told…
…& I wanna help you turn yours…
…into solid GOLD.
Jordan & I have built an incredible relationship based on the foundation of this book, & I look forward to developing many more books with her by my side.

Writing accountability + coaching
Writing accountability + coaching
Customized support to help you actually write the dang thang (& stay on track).
Along the way, I’ll also help you with developmental editing.
Developmental editing + critique
Developmental editing + critique
Working from your first rough draft manuscript, I’ll help you identify any missing pieces or incongruences, areas + ideas ripe for expansion, organizational pitfalls, etc.
I’ll then advise/coach you through the revision process to create additional and final drafts.
Line editing + copy editing
Line editing + copy editing
You’ll submit your self-edited, completed final draft, & I’ll give your manuscript a super thorough, “deep shine” polishing + tweaking to make your words sound & flow as effectively as possible to achieve the greatest impact.
Please note: Before you submit your final draft, you must first **thoroughly ** edit the entire manuscript yourself.
Yes, you read that correctly. 😉
It’s just like submitting a story for a creative writing class.
You'd want your teacher to “grade” the best version of your work, right?
(Even though you know she’s still going to mark that sucker up with pink ink.)
The difference is — I’m not “grading” your work.
I’ll still find plenty of areas to be improved + corrected…
…but you’ll actually look forward to my feedback & support.
Prepress proofreading
Prepress proofreading
Before you turn your completed final draft over to a designer for interior layout, I’ll “eagle-eye” edit your final manuscript (which has already been polished + proofread by either yourself or someone else).
This ensures no "stupid-little-mistakes" like spelling errors or grammar atrocities make it onto the actual page, & you can feel confident in sharing your words with the world.
After that, I’ll proofread the preflight copy of your book, cover-to-cover, one more time after it’s all laid out, before you hit “publish.”
Found what you’re looking for?
Found what you’re looking for?
Fantastic! I’d love to hear all about your manuscript & publishing goals!
First thing's first, please click the little pink button at the bottom of this page to complete a preliminary questionnaire and book an initial consultation.
(Please Note: The prompts on this questionnaire may initially seem daunting, but the questions won’t take you more than 5 minutes to complete.)
Based on your answers, if it sounds + feels like we’re a good fit to collaborate, we'll proceed with our consultation as scheduled.
Next, IF we decide to take our relationship to the next level, I will draw up my official proposal & slide it into your mailbox within the next 48-72 hours.
One last thing before you schedule…

Typically speaking, I am unable to provide quotes upfront (as in before we meet for a consultation) for any potential projects, as each author's needs, desires, & publishing goals are unique.
To that end, I customize my quotes around a variety of factors ~ including my intuition.
Before I can give you any concrete numbers, we’ll have to meet for a consultation.
And that just about covers all the preliminary nitty gritty we need to address! 😉
Ready to begin?
Then smash that little pink button below, and we'll get the ball rollin'!
