Editorial Services & Publishing Support
Welcome! Great Lakes Literary offers award-winning editorial services for promising book projects and, in certain cases, publishing and marketing support for select clients. It is run by Philip Martin (that’s me, click on my name to see my bio).
I’m an experienced editor with an award-winning track record in developing and producing nonfiction and fiction books of all sorts: how-to books, cultural studies, educational aids, literary short-story collections, genre fiction, chapter books for young readers, anthologies, reference directories. . . .
In a nutshell, I’m Midwestern: practical, supportive but no-nonsense when it comes to figuring out what needs to be done and making it happen. I’m inspired by worthy projects in the rough, but know that by the time it’s published, a book needs to be truly excellent to compete in the marketplace of ideas and stories. If it needs fixing, let’s fix it.
My primary service is as a book doctor. I can take your manuscript, diagnose what it needs, and make it better.
My rates are affordable, but I’m selective in the projects I take on.
Initial Discussions about Your Project or Concept
Am I the right book doctor for your best, most beloved work? Send me an email about your project, and we can discuss it. No charge for initial discussions.
