Our Passion for Support


At MGC, we love writing, and this makes us especially fond of fellow and aspiring writers and authors. We understand not only the artistic, delicate craft of communicating ideas, passions, and experiences through the written word, but also the challenges of making those creations accessible to readers. This is why we offer various support, coaching, and consulting services specifically for authors to assist you at any stage of your writing journey.

From concept to spreading awareness of your finished masterpiece, we can offer insights, tips, direction, feedback, and more. Coupled with our expertise in book cover design, branding, social media, book formatting, marketing, and website design, as well as graphic design and copywriting, we are a one-stop shop for authors who understand the value of not walking this path alone.

  • Developing your characters 

  • Organizing your plot 

  • Feedback on what you've written

  • Proofreading & Editing

Our Coaching & Consulting Services

for authors


Wherever you are on your writing journey, we can help. All paid sessions are 45 minutes and include one follow-up email or text within seven days of the session. But your first 25-minute discovery session is always free and includes free feedback on a written piece of 1500 words or less.

Proofreading & Editing


Proofreading and editing are easily among the top 5 expenses for self-published authors. This can strain most authors' limited budgets, pushing them to shortcuts and tricks that ultimately undermine the integrity and professionalism of their work.

However, regardless of the cost, any serious writer should invest in another set of eyes to review their work before publishing. And because our aim and passion are to support writers, MGC offers quality, affordable proofreading, line, developmental, and copy editing services for all genres.

Although our rates are significantly below the industry average, you can expect insightful feedback and (depending on the size of your manuscript) quick turnaround times. Contact us about your needs for a quick quote.
