Beemgee.com is a professional story development tool designed to help fiction authors structure their narratives and create compelling characters. It’s all about dramaturgy and the craft of creating stories that work.
Structure your storytelling – outlining your plot and determining the dramatic function of your characters boosts your storytelling skills and improves your dramaturgy. In-app help is there if and when you need it.
Finish the novel you've started writing – never suffer from a saggy middle again, never break off half way through.
Pitch your story – find the perfect logline to describe your story in one sentence. Complete the scene by scene synopsis, creating a solid basis for your treatment and exposé.
Beemgee is a powerful browser-tool that helps you compose your story and unobtrusively motivates you to complete your novel or screenplay. The tool features an in-depth knowledge base, which you access at the specific dramaturgical point you are working on at any particular moment, for instance defining a character’s goal, checking the distribution of your motifs, or finding your story’s theme.
Some features:
- Plot-Outliner: Arrange your plot events by chronology or narrative and switch between the two.
- Highlight and filter your plot events by characters, motifs, point of view, locations and more.
- Character-Builder: Grow your main characters according to their dramatic function, thus determining their roles in the plot.
- Compare and contrast your characters by dramatic functions, characterisation, and more.
- Step Outline: Write your logline and the complete step outline, making it a doddle to create a treatment or an exposé.
- Discreet in-app dramaturgy tips – they won’t be in your way if you’re a professional, and will be invaluable if you are still learning the craft.

I'm Larry Weiner and I've been an art director & designer for 18 years. I know how easy it is to lose attention spans. When it comes to capturing eyeballs, I rely on my toolbox - stunning imagery, engaging type, color that sets the tone. Storytelling done in the blink of an eye.

Lawrence Mann
Professional Freelance Illustrator
Hi folks,
I’m a freelance Illustrator living in West Yorkshire, England. With a career spanning over 15 years I’ve been fortunate enough to have created work for the likes of Sony, Nokia, Mattel, the BBC, Channel 4, Yamaha as well as creating covers for many great novels and children’s books.
I love everything reading Fantasy & Sci-fi but create illustrations for every genre. I draw pretty much 24/7 and love listening to audiobooks while I work.
I’m a firm believer that all illustrations should tell a good story. Especially when those illustrations adorn the cover of your book. Every image must be able to stand out and entice its audience in and that’s what adding story elements do. The best images are ones that encourage our viewers to read into and embellish the story.
If you need a cover for your next book then please look at my portfolio and get in touch. I work with both publishers and independent authors.
Thanks.

Megan Rynott Editing
Hey, I'm Megan! I’m a Northern California-based freelance editor with a lot of experience in nonfiction and a passion for helping authors create the best possible version of their stories. After graduating from UC Davis, I went on to work in marketing/communications where I wrote and edited web content as well as press-related documents for political campaigns and nonprofits alike. Since then, I have shifted my attention back to my passion: books!
Editing allows me to combine my love of reading with my critical skills. I am passionate about helping independent authors and publishers put their best foot forward, getting their stories out into the world at the highest possible quality. I am especially dedicated to advancing the underrepresented voices of women, people of color, and LGBTQ persons.
I currently provide the following services:
-Developmental Editing
-Copyediting
-Proofreading
-Author website copy development and editing
If I sound like a good fit for your project, follow this link to check out my guidelines for submitting your proposal. I look forward to getting to know you and your project!

I offer content editing and line editing for one low price. My specialties are adult mystery and suspense novels, romance, chick lit, contemporary fiction, middle grade, and young adult. What makes me unique? I ask that manuscript pages be snail-mailed to me as I prefer to mark them up the old-fashioned way. You will receive the overall editorial letter in both e-mailed and print formats so that you’ll get an overview of my suggestions while you wait for your pages to arrive in the mailbox. I will give overall thoughts on content, structure, characterization, pacing, dialogue, and other elements of the story.
In addition to editing, I have published several books for adults, teens and children and have made bestseller lists including GalleyCat’s Barnes & Noble Bestsellers and GalleyCat’s Mystery and Thriller Bestsellers. I have also taught online workshops for writers' groups including Savvy Authors and Sisters in Crime. If you're at a crossroads with your manuscript, then I would love to hear from you. http://stacyjuba.com/blog/editorial-services-2/
Bookmark Services ~ Victoria Wright
A successful writing career requires a skilled support system, beginning with a strong editor. Indie authors face high standards, because they must prove themselves twice: to readers and to the industry at large. Good form and polish go hand in hand with engaging and well-developed content. A book edited to perfection will not only reach a greater number of readers, but it will also have a better chance of being taken seriously by the literary world. Furthermore, it adds validity and quality to the entire industry of self-publishing.
Victoria wants to show writers that the extra time and investment in quality will pay off. She has been running Bookmark Services, a full-service editorial company, in the Berkshires (but serving the world) for over twenty years. On a personal level, Victoria has been published multiple times, and she has received awards for her writing.

Furthermore, it adds validity and quality to the entire industry of self-publishing.
Victoria wants to show writers that the extra time and investment in quality will pay off. She has been running Bookmark Services, a full-service editorial company, in the Berkshires (but serving the world) for over twenty years. On a personal level, Victoria has been published multiple times, and she has received awards for her writing.

Hartwell Editing
Offering freelance editorial services for authors
I offer developmental editing, copyediting, and proofreading services to indie authors writing in all genres.
Developmental editing involves me working with you on the "big picture" of your manuscript, identifying plot holes and helping you with things like structure, voice, and pacing.
Copyediting typically takes place once you have worked through several drafts of your work and need someone to make suggestions for consistency, grammar, accurate spelling and punctuation.
Proofreading is completed on a facsimile or proof of the finished product just before publication. Typically, I would look for format issues and typographical errors at this stage.
Please visit my website for a complete description of these services and my rates. For Independent Author Network members, I am offering a free sampleedit on the first 2,000 words of your work. This will help you get a feel for myediting style before you commit, and it will also allow me to give you an accurate quote for the project.
Just mention #IAN1 when you contact me. www.hartwellediting.com

Expert Copyediting Services: Editing Your Words, Not Your Voice
You just finished writing a masterpiece.
After many grueling months (or even years), you can finally type those two glorious words: “The End.”
But now you must face a whole new beginning: the copyediting process. Perhaps you know the difference between your and you’re and can easily spot a few punctuation no-nos. But can you tell the differences between a hyphen, an en dash, an em dash, a 2-em-dash, and a 3-em-dash? Perhaps not.
And that’s okay. That’s what I’m here for. My name is Shayla, and I am a lover of words. I am a bookworm. I am a writer. I am a grammar nerd. I am an extrovert.
And I am pleased to be your copy editor.
As a copy editor, I have an extensive knowledge in grammar, punctuation, syntax, spelling, formatting, terminology, and jargon. The Chicago Manual of Style is my best friend, and I have edited over one hundred books. To be a copy editor is more than this, though; a copy editor must be able to help your text flow, spot factual errors, address legal matters, recognize inconsistencies, and never stray from attention to detail.
I will communicate with you and keep you up-to-date on every facet of the editing process. I will answer a million questions. I will explain why I took out the seventeen exclamation points in one paragraph.
Sit back, relax, and let me handle all the hard work. Besides, you deserve a coffee break.

mobi/epub/Smashwords/CreateSpace Formatting

RJ Parker Publishing
Small independent publisher with 3 authors, 24 books published in eBook, paperbacks and audiobooks. Accredited publishing credentials with Amazon, Publicist and Literary Agent.
I recently was granted full privileges with Amazon so that I now can pre-list books in all formats. Every book I've published thus far has turned into a bestseller. Please see my new website for details and a very successful story from Bernard DeLeo who one year ago was selling almost zero, and now has 7 books in the Top 100 in a tough genre: Thrillers.
I am publishing an Anthology on Dec 15 plus an upcoming book by Dane Ladwig which I am in negotiations with for a movie option with actor Rob Downey Jr. I'm also publishing, what's going to be a major hit book next summer written by a famous Motown musician.
I am not looking to pad my resume. Anything I publish I give 100%. Author's I allow to keep their copyrights....no publishing company does that. But, if a big deal comes along, I can then put on my Agent hat and negotiate on behalf of my client. It's a very unique operation I have, and it's very successful. I look forward to hearing from you....
I won't accept Sci-fi because I don't like that genre and again, I have to love the book. I do like action/romance action/crime, biographies, true crime.

RiJan Publishing
Assistance for self-publishing authors and indie music artists.
Self-Publishing is becoming the norm, and it is the same in the music industry, which I've spent a good deal of my life being involved in. The big music producers only take on a small handful of people and you may be the most talented singer/songwriter ever born, but they aren't going to give you the time of day until you prove yourself to them that you can make THEM money. Then, the minute you stop making THEM money, they drop you like a hot potato and you're back to playing casinos and bars.
You will find the same scenario with the major publishing houses. They have to make money to stay in business. Anyone does. Yes, you stand a chance of being picked up by a smaller publishing house, who will most likely re-write your script to the point you no longer recognize it and than pay you pennies for the work. But, then you can say you've been traditionally published.
When I made the decision to create RiJan Publishing, it was from the standpoint of the author (which I am, first and foremost and very proud to bear that title). I suppose it is a "vanity" publishing house in that the author pays for professional services, but what sets it apart from others is my burning desire to see self-published works done in a professional manner that compares to a traditional publishing house. The difference being, that the author remains 100% in control of the work from beginning to end.
