I am a very busy substantive book editor, rewriter, designer, owner of The Laurus Company (.com) and our imprint, Laurus Books (.com). Our mission is to keep you from getting lost or becoming prey in the unfamiliar world of book publishing. I often describe a first-time author as being like a fish out of water on a beach full of cats!
Our books are in the Ingram Books wholesale catalog and available at most of the major booksellers in the U.S., Canada, U.K., E.U., Australia, and on the new Espresso Book Machine. We don't just publish your manuscript; we help turn it into a viable work of art, much like the work of the big NYC publishing houses, and we get your approval all along the way. Example: Check out "Premium Promotional Tips for Writers," (by Jo-Anne Vandermeulen) available on our website.
Speaking of our website, our own online bookstore pays the highest royalties and uses a state-of-the-art program for record-keeping and generating notification for all orders received. Our eBooks are secured after a one-time customer download.
Our authors retain ownership of their books. It's your baby, and we never forget it. We try to always be available to our authors when they need to talk.
I also love to write and someday may find time to complete my own books.
Hi Nancy,
I linked to you via Susan. I have a site that sells digital content and we would be interested in listing your ebook for sale there - If you are interested.
All the best,

Hello Nancy,
It's great to connect! Thank you for all of your kind words and I hope to see one of your finished books soon! I am sure that being an editor requires much of your time. Squeeze a litte in for your writing, you will get there!
Hello, I'm Bert Martinez, I'm looking to network with success minded authors. If you would like my free report 30 Strategies for Selling More Books just fill out the form below. I look forward to networking with you and if there is anything that I can help you with please do not hesitate to contact me.
Hi Nancy. Hope you'll be able to take part in PROMO DAY. It's an online international event I organise for people in the writing industry. this years event will take place on Saturday 9th May.
Lots of opportunities to promote your writing and services whilst networking and learning more about the industry. Hope to see you there.
I'm in Cuba right now. Will return to Canada on Thursday. Launch date for my new business is March 2. Will have to wade in the responses from clients to know the demand. Have been future speculating that 'help'/employees may have to be an addition. Please email me back as to your special interest by the end of the week. Chat with you again.

I've flown into San Antonio but never been to Houston/Galveston. I'm sure it looks different since Ike hit. If I ever get down there, I'll have to look you up. Maybe we could have dinner or something.
Thank you for your kind words...my wealth of knowledge is for all. I'm glad you sent me a personal email. I wasn't sure how I was to respond to your comment in "Book Market".
Interesting you should mention that you work but never seem to get paid for your work. I had a vision after I asked myself the very same question: "Shouldn't I be pulling in some income with all this FREE information?"
Application goes a long way. I began to apply my knowledge.
I have a vision, one that is coming true. I'm so excited and would love to share with you all the details, but I'm noted as a perfectionist and I'm waiting to make my big announcement once everything is in its proper place.
My vision is to help authors.
Stay tuned to my blog, and the announcement will be coming soon.

PS. I couldn't find your personal email address so had to respond here.
Your email intrigued me. You fit to be all you have called yourself...and with 30 years of experience, YOU are a wealth of knowledge; actually priceless.
I would like to get to know you better.
