Move To The Write

Move To The Write offers freelance services in editing, book design, and physical and digital book production. The list of her dorkishness goes on and on.

Ellie Sipila attended Ryerson University for copy, stylistic, and substantive editing and has earned a specialization in editing books intended for young readers (picture books -- young adult). She is a member of the Editors' Association of Canada and the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators. Her list of clients includes scholarly writers, fiction novelists, short story writers, non

fiction essayists, bloggers, and her husband, who does not know he needs an editor until Ellie happens upon one of his handwritten shopping lists or dorky rap verses. She is the publisher of Common Deer Press, which means she spends most of her waking hours reading submissions, when she’s not actually editing something that is. Ellie also has a great love for book design and production, so after working in the industry for a while she returned to school to become educated in the ways of physical book nerdery. Now, she fancies herself both artsy and fartsy, designing interior layout and cover art. Being a bit of a technological geek too, Ellie learned the gruelling process of creating e-books from scratch by writing the HTML code needed for epubs. Ellie is a published author with two novels, nine pieces of short fiction, four---�you know what? It's probably best if you just visit her writing website (when you're done here, of course) if such things float your boat. (www.katmhawthorne.com)

And now for something completely different: This morning my new book, Between the Covers, released! It is a nonfiction book to explain the publishing process to authors who have written a book but don’t know the next steps to actually publish it. It is geared toward self-publishing authors but will help traditionally publishing authors and industry professionals who may be very experienced in one area of publishing but have less knowledge in the other departments understand the process too. It’s a quick, conversational read and jam-packed with information. If publishing interests you, please check it out!

Between the Covers: Taking your manuscript from rough draft to published book.

You may or may not have heard that Ellie has a new book coming out. It’s called Between the Covers and it is all about the publishing process from rough manuscript to published book. Basically it’s a how-to guide for self-publishing authors who have written a book and want to publish it but they don’t know the process/where to begin. Anyway, though the book does discuss production, here is a cool look at the process of printing the book. This is different than the type of printing you’d get from Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) or any other digital (print-on-demand) printer, but it does show what you might get if you choose to print traditionally.

This is very nerdy, but if it interests you, take a look!! (And watch for Between the Covers, which will release in early March. This topic and many more are discussed at length in Ellie’s forthcoming book.)
