“I thank Adele Barlow, my editor, for supporting me through every step of the publishing journey. Just like every book has an author, every book needs an editor. Only those who have seen my early drafts will truly appreciate how much better the book became once Adele started guiding my writing.” (Evgeny Shadchnev)

Evgeny, an entrepreneur and founder coach in Portugal, wanted to publish his first book on Amazon. He knew he needed expert guidance to sharpen his message, polish the manuscript, and make sure it was industry-ready.

I proposed a hands-on approach: diving into his vision, helping him refine his core message, and ensuring the content would resonate with his target readers. Together, we went through a thorough editing process where I offered constructive feedback and suggestions. I also guided him on formatting the book to meet Amazon’s standards.

How Copy & Co helped

• Distilling Evgeny’s core message through in-depth discussions to ensure clarity and resonance;

• Editing the manuscript for language and flow, creating a consistent and compelling authorial voice;

• Coordinating with formatters and the cover designer to ensure the book met all Amazon publishing requirements;

• Delivering an engaging and publication-ready manuscript for a successful Amazon release.
