After writing, editing and self-publishing five of my own books, I decided to help some other people with theirs.
Taym’s The Poetic Prisoner – Breaking Free (Vol. 1) was the first book that I helped to edit. I had some creative input into the cover design and supported Taym in getting his work on to Amazon.
Taym was a dream to work with, kind, professional and really open to feedback. Taym described working with me as:
Thank you so much for all your hard work and professionalism, highly recommended as an editor if anyone’s looking for someone reasonably priced and reliable I will defo pass your details on
Taym enjoyed working with me so much, that he insisted I be his editor for some other projects.
My next request to edit a book was from my good friend Luna Hare. He had over thirty years of pagan poetry that he wanted to put into a small poetry book and publish. I helped edit his poems, helped to design the cover image and assisted in setting him up to sell it on Amazon. Here is the result:
Luna Hare said about working with me:
I would like to thank Antony Simpson for helping me put all this together into a legible format. He is a long suffering friend and I love him dearly. Antony was a massive help [in getting my book ready and in getting my book published].
Luna Hare.
The Poetic Prisoner Freedom (Vol. 2)
Taym’s done it again. I’ve been secretly working on his latest poetry book, Vol. 2 Freedom of The Poetic Prisoner series.
It was released in June 2024.
Antony was a pleasure to work with and really helped to bring this work to life. – Taym Doran
I have worked with Taym Doraj in his latest poetry book Social Media. In my role as Editor, I have supported him to complete his best work to date.
It contains 20 poems that express Doraj’s experience with social media. Experiences that are good, bad and some darn right ugly.
