Take Your Manuscript From Draft To Publication With The Help Of An Experienced Self-Publishing Editor, London
My Editing and Self-Publishing services reflect the hours of hard work you have already put into your book. I can help if you require a Manuscript Assessment, Copy Edit or Proofread, or would like someone to take your project from the draft stage to publication, with additional tasks such as Typesetting & Layout, Cover Design, Printing, eBook Conversion, ISBN (under Wrate’s Publishing), Distribution and Marketing all taken care of for you.
Unlike many of the bigger self-publishing companies currently operating, you’ll have one point of contact throughout the process. I won’t be an anonymous person armed with a red pen. For me, the author/editor relationship is much more collaborative and I’ll provide you with one-to-one support.

Why Choose Wrate’s Editing Services:
- Five-star reviews. I’ve received some fantastic feedback for my friendly and efficient service. See my Google page to read what my customers have said and take a look at some of their Self-Publishing Stories.
- Marketing expertise. My background as a national newspaper and magazine journalist means I can help you gain the right press coverage and reach more potential readers. See my Marketing page for more information.
- Additional free proofreading. All my editing packages include a free second proofread by an experienced editor, who also proofreads the manuscripts I publish.
- 100% royalties. If you book one of my self-publishing packages, I won’t ask for a share of the royalties you make from sales – I just want to get you to the stage of being able to receive them!
- Experience with different genres. I have worked on a wide range of subjects and genres, including business and self-help books, contempary fiction, children’s fiction and health and wellbeing.

Testimonials – Publishing Stories
Amanda Malbern, author of Running from the Sky
I chose Wrate’s Editing Services because unlike some of the others, Danielle got straight back to me and seemed like a proactive person, which she is.
Emikat Jun, author of Behind The Mask
Since making contact with Danielle Wrate, I have never looked back. She basically held my hand as we journeyed together from the beginning to the end.
Marian Ryan, author of Cosmic Light: Through the Higher Mind
It was lovely working with Danielle, as anything that arose during the process was handled efficiently, so that I didn’t need to be involved. Danielle took care of all the ‘behind the scenes’ stuff and I was very happy with the results.
