Who am I?
I’m a 48-year-old Englishman, and I grew up in a working-class family by the seaside in Lowestoft, England. An avid sportsman, painter, photographer and reader, those loves are only trumped by my love of travelling and writing. To date I have visited 60+ countries and lived and worked on five continents. Highlights have been trekking in the Andes and Himalayas, scuba diving all over the world, teaching English in Korea, and trying all the local adult beverages, wherever I happen to be. I first left to explore the world in 1994, and I don't think I'll ever stop. I now divide my time between my home in Mexico, and a rented place in the Pacific North West. I have 2 rescue kitties, Ernest Hemingway & F Scott Fitzgerald, and a rescue pup named Charles Dickens.

Beaten, robbed and stripped of even hope, Tristan finds himself on the gritty streets of London’s East End, where everything he thought he knew about life starts to shatter and crumble around him. With all hope seemingly lost, a young boy even questions the futility of life itself.
But when he learns that there are others who share his torment and understand his pain, can Tristan find the courage to make it through his darkest hours?
Tristan's tale is a grim exploration into his own conscience. As he discovers the unique ability of humans to do such heinous things both to themselves and to one another, it's all he can do to keep control, as his passage of internal discovery takes one dark turn after another and sends him to the edge.ARK: OUTBREAK

SUBMISSIONS FOR WINTER 2023/SPRING 2024
What do I offer?
Proofreading Service:
This is when I analyse your document or manuscript line by line and fix any spelling mistakes, typos and any obvious grammatical errors. I'm confident I will find 100% of any mistakes in your manuscript, in either British or American English.
Copy/Line Editing Service:
Every manuscript arrives at a different level of completion, some in quite a raw state, others near perfect. That’s why I first have a cursory run through to establish a fair price point. After agreeing a fee upon consultation with you via email, I then analyse the manuscript word by word, line by line. I’m looking for spelling mistakes, typos, grammatical errors, repetitive words, echoed words and phrases, consistency of punctuation, readability (sentence length, paragraph length), cliches, and any other way in which the writing can be improved. I prefer to work from an MS Word document so I can switch on the ‘Track Changes’ feature, and you can see everything I have fixed/suggested before you approve it.
I’m confident that one solid, diligent and painstaking edit will be enough, and I will make your manuscript shine while retaining your unique author voice.
I take great pride in my work. You won't be disappointed.

Publishing Mentor
Let Me Help YOU Self Publish YOUR Book
Have you written a book, but don't know how to get it published?
You've come to the right place.
With over seven years experience of independent publishing, and with 20+ of my own books out in the world, including many bestsellers, I have a wealth of vital experience and hard-earned knowledge about how the independent publishing industry works. I've also edited more than 50 books for clients, and helped them realise their dreams of launching their books out into the world.
Why independent publishing?
Well, like me, you've probably dreamed about your book being picked up by a famous publishing house, such as Penguin, or Random House, and having an international bestseller. Nothing wrong with dreaming, right? The problem is, even if you've written the best book ever, the chances of you being discovered are slim to none. A recent report revealed that only 1-2% of manuscripts pitched to publishing houses ever get published. That's seriously low, isn't it? Worse than that? The advances paid to authors back in the day were huge. Now? They're peanuts. Even worse than that? If you were lucky enough for your book to be selected by first, an agent, and second, a publisher, there's a high chance they'd sit on it for a year, the market changes, and they then change their mind. Then, you'll have wasted a year of potential sales had you gone down the independent publishing route.
Even worse than that? If you were one of the lucky 1-2%, the major publishing houses these days STILL expect YOU to do the vast bulk of the promotional work. Which is why they only choose 1-2% of pitched books. Those 1-2% are authors who already have a massive backlist of titles to sell. They have huge subscriber lists for their newsletters, and hundreds of thousands of followers on social media... and by followers, as far as the likes of Penguin and Random House are concerned, I mean potential sales.
Believe it or not, there is something EVEN WORSE than all that. Did you know that if you were among the 1-2%, you'd receive ONLY 10% of all royalties? That's right, a mere 10%. That means, the publishing house bigwigs are going to enjoy 90% of YOUR royalties, for the book you've possibly spent years and years creating. Trust me, I know how hard it is to finish a book... the anxiety, the blood, the sweat and without doubt, the tears. I've been there many, many times, believe me.
On the other hand, if you choose the independent publishing route, YOU get to KEEP 70% of ALL ROYALTIES.
YES, 70%.
Now, doesn't that sound better?
For clarity, this is NOT A VANITY PRESS.
I will make exactly 0% of anything you make. Zero commission. Zero slice of your royalty pie. Zero!
The 30% you won't make will be swallowed by Amazon. There's just no getting around it. Without Amazon, and the likes of KOBO, and Barnes & Noble, there simply wouldn't be independent publishing. So, that 30% slice of the pie is the price we indie authors must pay to fulfil our writing dreams.
Again, I will get ZERO.
I am merely here to help you realise your publishing dreams, and help you get your book out into the world.
So, where do you start?
That's where I come in.
It has taken me seven years, many thousands of dollars, much trial and error, and the studying of numerous intense courses to have learned what I now know about the daunting, yet rewarding, process of independent publishing. The services I'm offering here for you will take away all of that.
Got a finished, edited manuscript? Let's publish it in three (or four) days.
Got a manuscript that needs editing? Leave it in my capable hands, and I'll make it shine. Then we'll publish it together.
Sound good? Then read on.
Here's what I can offer:
• explain everything you need to know about the independent publishing process. This can be done in person, or via a 90-minute (ish) Zoom call ($125)
• set up your author account on Amazon’s KDP platform (Kindle Direct Publishing), including help with tax forms/bank accounts (you won’t get paid without this step) ($95)
• set up your author central accounts. Without these being set up, especially in the US and UK, your book will be 'live' without an author biography/author image/details about you. This is also important to 'claim' your book on Amazon, to make sure the world knows it's yours ($95)
• write an engaging author biography ($75)
• using cutting-edge software (Publisher Rocket), I'll create the crucial set of keywords and categories every book needs to gain visibility in the online stores ($115)
• using more top-of-the-range software (Vellum), create publish-ready, formatted book files for all stores, inc: Amazon, KOBO, Barnes & Noble, Apple and Google. This includes adding a Contents page, an Acknowledgments page, an Author's Note page, a Disclaimer page, a Copyright page, and perhaps most importantly, a Review page ($195)
• write a professional blurb/synopsis for your book’s Amazon sales page, as well as for the paperback version of your book ($85 / $55)
• format the blurb/synopsis using HTML, to make it stand out on Amazon ($35)
• create an extensive set of graphics for Facebook/Instagram/Twitter promotions, including 3D book images/graphics ($95)
• upload your files to KDP, and/or the other stores (If you choose not to go exclusive to Amazon — not recommended — there’ll be an extra charge) (Amazon only =$85 / Other stores = $150)
• offer eBook and paperback international pricing recommendations based upon genre research ($45)
• create a digital UBL (universal book link) for your book. This is a single, shareable digital link that once clicked, takes that person to their local online Amazon store, worldwide. Cool, huh? ($25)
• I'll even hold your hand while YOU HIT the PUBLISH button for YOUR BOOK!!! (Free)
• After you're published, I'll explain audio book options, and help you set up an Audible account (Amazon’s audio company) ($45)
*Note* The fee includes a further two x 15-minute Zoom calls to keep you updated on the process (optional, of course). If everything is in order, the entire process takes about 48-72 hours, occasionally a little longer. This is because, once files and covers are loaded into the KDP system, they then go through a rigorous digital check before being approved. Once you hit the ‘Publish’ button, by the time you wake up the next morning, your book will be ‘live’ on Amazon (or elsewhere, if that’s what you choose) and you can do a happy dance.
COST:
PACKAGE DEAL: US $995
INDIVIDUAL PRICES AVAILABLE (see above. Total would be $1,165)
As is standard in this industry, I ask for 50% down payment. The remaining balance is due the moment you see your book ‘live’ on the Amazon stores worldwide. Let me tell you, that is always an exciting moment.
**Note** Like in any business, on occasion something else will occur that isn't included in the list of services above. Don't worry, I will never abandon my clients. Any additional services deemed necessary will incur an extra fee, only after a discussion between Steven and the client. This will be optional.
Other Optional Paid Services
- Developmental Editing (Fees upon request)
- Copy/Line Editing (Fees upon request)
- eBook/paperback/audiobook cover (Fees upon request)
- Setting up a mailing service for your author newsletter (vital, in my opinion, and your biggest weapon to sell a ton of books) (Fees upon request)
- Help finding promotional opportunities with outstanding international subscription services such as Bookfunnel and StoryOrigin. These are very affordable and highly recommended. Using these services, I have grown my newsletter subscribers from 1,500 to 15,000 in only three years (further details and fees upon request)
If the services above are something you'd like to discuss further, then please contact me via the contact form on this website, or email me directly at this address: stevenmooreauthor@gmail.com
Many thanks for your time, and I hope to hear from you soon.
Cheers,
Steven
Let's publish your book!!
CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
“Steve does a fantastic edit and with a quick turnaround! He’s got a particularly keen eye for weak verbs. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a great editor at a reasonable price.” ~William Miller, bestselling author of the Jake Noble action thriller series.
“Not only is Steven Moore fast, efficient, and a bargain at twice the price, he may actually do the impossible and cure me of my ellipses obsession! I highly recommend him to any author looking for an editor or proofreader. His professionalism and attention to detail took my manuscript to the next level, and his quick turnaround was greatly appreciated.” – Andrew Warren, author of the bestselling Thomas Caine Thriller series
"I’ve had the pleasure of working with Steven on a number of projects. Steven is one of the best editors I’ve met in this business. He is highly reliable, prompt and professional. His input on my manuscripts has proved invaluable. I would highly recommend." - Robert J Power, author of the hugely popular Spark City series.
"Working with Steve was a real pleasure. He was always quick to get back to me and answer any questions I had, and he completed all of his editorial work on my manuscripts in an incredibly timely manner. His notes were concise and clear and he really helped me polish my work into a professional manuscript. So far he’s edited two of my novels, and I plan on having him edit a hell of a lot more. I couldn’t be happier with his work!" – Chris Sendrwoski, author of the fantastic Dregs of the Culver Wastes series.
“Steven Moore is a consummate professional. Not only is he an exceptionally talented writer, but he is also a razor sharp editor. I have trusted him with many of my manuscripts and have always been pleased with the results. If you want your work to be clean, clear, and accurate, hire Steven.” – David Berens, author of the bestselling Troy Bodean & Ryan Bodean Tropical Thriller Series.
"As an author himself, Steven Moore gets the struggle of the writing and editing process. He’s brutally honest when necessary and complimentary when that’s helpful. Not only has Steven knocked my book into shape, but he’s made me a better writer too. Having Steven edit my third novel was such a good decision that I plan him to look back over the rest of the series later in the year." – Luke Richardson, author of the bestselling Leo Keane Thriller Series
"Having Steven edit my debut novel was one of the best decisions I made in my publishing journey. Not only did he help make my story shine but made me a better writer in the process. He is a consummate professional with an eye for detail and I’d wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who wants to take their writing to the next level." – N.K. Quinn, author of the bestselling Steel Falcon series
“Steven has worked on two of my books so far, both as proofreader and editor. His ability to turn around such high-quality work in very tight timelines was amazing and his enthusiasm for the stories is exactly what a new author needs! I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a long-term professional partner.” – Andrew Hastie, author of bestselling The Infinity Engines series.
"Steven's magic touch was exactly what my debut novel needed. He's brilliant, diligent and has an amazing turnaround speed. He's truly the best editor I have ever encountered!"— Gosia Nealon, author of award winning, The Last Sketch.
“It took me years to find an editor I could fully trust, and I’m glad to say I found it in Steven. The work he did for my relaunch helped me prepare my project with ease by taking a beaten-up story (trust me, it was that bad) and helping me turn it into something I could sell. Not only was I happy enough to keep coming back, but his prices are reasonable and the turnaround time is as short as could be without rushing it. It shows, too; tremendous care went into editing my books, and I plan to work with Steven for a long, long time. Steven was amazing.” – Adam Nicholls, author of the bestselling Mason Black thriller series.
“Steven was a pleasure to work with. A professional and rigorous editor, he vastly improved the quality of my manuscript. And did I mention he was incredibly affordable? I’ve hired him for the rest of my series and beyond. Highly recommended.” – Joshua James, author of the bestselling Lucky Universe space opera series.
“I had the pleasure of working with Steven on my first sci-fi novel. He helped smooth out the rough edges of the story and made the words pop off the page. His promptness and professionalism made the experience all the better. I can’t recommend Steven enough.” – Leo Suarez, author of science fiction novels, The Ancestor & The Shadow Order.
“I cannot praise Steve enough. He proofed and edited my first novel. He took on my raw manuscript, smoothed out all the kinks, and straightened up the grammar. We agreed a completion date and Steve delivered on time. It is a big and frightening thing, entrusting your pride and joy to a stranger. But Steve’s professional approach, the way he kept me informed throughout the process, and his willingness to answer my many questions, put me at ease. Steven Moore is trustworthy, and his work is quality.” – Steve Exten, author of Club 5 Eight Zero 6
"Steven edited my most recent novel and I was very pleased with his work. He is super responsive, reasonably priced, and offered me a very prompt turnaround.
He obviously knows his craft and used concise examples to illustrate the reason for some of his edits. Highly recommended!" — Greg Cmiel, author of the YA gothic thriller, Of Mud and Bone.“I requested sample edits from four different editors and not only was Steve Moore the most affordable, he was the most thorough which is what truly won me over. I LOVE a picky editor. He was hired for the whole series and I’m beyond thrilled to work with him.” – Rachael Stapleton, author of the bestselling Temple of Indra Time-Traveling Bibliophile series.
“While perusing a popular writing forum on social media, I saw a thread which mentioned that Steven Moore was a brilliant editor. As a new writer, I felt having an editor who was also a writer to be a key selling point. So far, he has edited my first novel and its prequel novella. Reviewing his notes and recommended changes in my manuscripts has improved my writing. I highly recommend Steven Moore as an editor. I plan to keep using him as long as he’ll have me.” — Greg Sorber, author of the Mechhaven Series
“Steven undertook the editing of three of my books, one new and and two older ones which needed re-editing. Although he is not a fantasy author like me, he grasped immediately the specificities of my genre. He gave my books the touch they needed. We had good communication throughout the whole process, and I highly recommend his services to all authors.” – Alexander Grant, author of the bestselling The King’s Lion Tales.
"Steven is someone who offers both expertise as an editor and published author, which was really important to me. Super responsive, thorough, and supportive. I highly recommend him especially for first-time authors like me!" — Mollie Watts, author of the self-help book, Breaking the Bottle
"Steven’s meticulous attention to detail is the only reason my novel ever saw the light of day. Every sentence got his attention, and I greatly appreciate his enduring patience with my messy manuscript that turned into a clean novel thanks to his help." – C J Lapolla, author of the Isiir Chronicles
“Steven was a star, and so speedy in his turnaround of my book, which is much appreciated when you’re an indie. The quality of his work was excellent, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a great proofreader. As an author himself, Steven knows what we writers go through, which I also found comforting.” – Tracy Ashworth, author of 60 Ways to Die in South America.
“Steven undertook the final proofread of my non-fiction manuscript. His work was detailed, accurate and exact. Throughout the process communication was excellent. Steven was in contact whenever anything arose that needed clarification before he proceeded. I really appreciated Steven’s professionalism and quick turnaround.” – Maya Lynch, author of Amazon bestseller, The Samoan Pyramid.
“Steven did an excellent job of proofreading my latest novella, Behind Closed Doors. He was professional and thorough with an extremely quick turn around. 5* and happy to recommend.” – Carolyn Mahoney, author of the bestselling thriller, Cry From the Grave.
“I’ve been working with Steven on my recent fiction trilogy, and his copy editing is excellent. He gives really great feedback and can take my often twisted sentences and turn them into something eminently readable. Steven is also an author, so he knows how we all feel. His rates are lower than others, and in my experience, with better results. Fast yet high-quality turnaround, and highly recommended.” – Mike Gomes, bestselling author of the bestselling Young Adventurer’s Club series.
"Steven worked on my novel, The Quantum Curators and the Faberge Egg. What I was most impressed with was his speed of service, especially considering the world was grinding to a halt during the pandemic lockdown and Steve was trying to fly home. Despite that, he was able to go through my work and take the time to discuss various issues or queries that I had. A fast and professional service. Thanks!" – Eva St John, author of the The Quantum Curators and the Faberge Egg series.
"Very professional, quick to respond and easy to work with. He took on the challenge of editing my first manuscript with kindness and wisdom. If your're looking to improve the readability of your book and catch all the errors, Steven is the editor for you." – Monica Lee, first-time author.
“Steven has been proofreading my non-fiction work for close to eight years, and I dare not submit anything to my editors before Steven casts his expert eye over it. He always provides exceptional feedback, and I trust his opinion explicitly. (I should add that even though Steven is my husband, and he provides his great service for free I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him for both copy/line editing and proofreading) A genuinely talented editor and a great writer, whom I recommend to my colleagues in the travel writing business.” – Leslie Patrick Moore, author of The Coffee Date Guides to Freelancing and Travel Writing.
