“People are hungry for stories.” – Studs Terkel
Are they hungry for yours?
Welcome! Great Lakes Literary offers award-winning editorial services for promising book projects and 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 book editor with an award-winning track record in developing nonfiction and fiction books of all sorts: how-to books, cultural studies, educational aids, short-story collections, general fiction, chapter books for young readers, anthologies. . . .
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 a book needs to be truly excellent to compete in the marketplace of ideas and stories.
My primary service is as a book doctor. I’ll review your manuscript, diagnose what it needs, and make it better.
My rates are affordable, but I’m selective in the projects I take on.
My goal is to help you succeed in your literary career. Am I the right book doctor or publishing consultant for your best, most beloved work? Let’s find out! Send me an email about your project, and we can discuss it. No charge for initial discussions.
Boost the impact of your ideas . . . quickly & effectively . . .
with affordable Great Lakes Lit services.
