I offer writing, ebook formatting, editing and story development consultant services. All services must be paid by PayPal unless specific alternate arrangements are made, which is usually done with previous customers. 10% discount offered to people I know from other professional organizations and the military. Please contact shannon-muir (at) shannon-muir.com for more information.

WRITING SERVICES

I can write press releases, prose, and scripts. Live action scripts must be able to be WGA covered and WGA coverage is preferred for animation. Rates vary by project type, please contact me directly.

EBOOK FORMATTING

I am able to offer my services for formatting ebooks to those that need that little extra assistance to make the leap into the electronic media world. Provide me a Microsoft Word file and with my knowledge of programs such as Calibre and Sigil, can help you package it properly for upload. I can work with PDF files but they allow me no flexibility if there is something that a program refuses to convert without a little extra magic. Illustrations that accompany text are fine for me to work with. I do not provide art services of any kind, but am willing to pre-assemble elements in Photoshop if you have a vision but not access to the program to make it happen. Though I have worked in animation I do not have drawing skills (a common misconception, actually). This is at the rate of $30.00/hour. Currently I am not taking InDesign files for conversion but this may change in the near future.

EDITING

I can be hired for manuscript and script editing at $30.00/hour.

STORY DEVELOPMENT CONSULTATION

I have been hired to look at items to determine their viability for other media. For example, I was hired in the past to evaluate the potential for taking a small toy line's pitch into a viable long running television series. The evaluation is $30.00/hour, but hiring me to write any development materials as a result of the initial consultaion varies by item based on average industry rates.
