TaleWeaver Ink · Author Support
Let’s help your story find its way.
You may have a finished manuscript, an unfinished world, or an idea you have carried for years. We can help you work out what comes next.
Explore a publishing relationship or hire experienced help with worldbuilding, consulting, and ghostwriting. Every project starts with a conversation.
Help with the work in front of you
Support shaped around your story.
Our team brings firsthand experience of developing stories and publishing books. We begin with the work you have in front of you, then agree on the kind of help that would be useful.
Worldbuilding support
Work through the rules that make your world hold together, from magic and history to cultures and continuity.
A project might focus on a magic-system outline, a set of world reference notes, or a consistency review of the setting you have already built.
Consulting
Talk through a story-development problem, your writing process, or the decisions involved in preparing a book for readers.
We can use the conversation to identify priorities and work out a practical next step for your project.
Ghostwriting
Develop your idea through a writing collaboration shaped around the voice, audience, and book you have in mind.
We agree on the writing scope and how we will work together before outlining or drafting begins.
Already have a manuscript?
Consulting can help you work through your next publishing decisions, including cover direction, formatting, and routes to readers. We will explain what TaleWeaver can take on and where a specialist may be needed before defining the scope.
TaleWeaver was founded by Shawn Connelly, author of Starweaver Academy and a business operations executive. Explore the experience and published work behind TaleWeaver.
Publishing relationships
Publish with TaleWeaver.
Have a manuscript, a series, or an existing catalog? Tell us about the work, its current stage, and the kind of publishing relationship you have in mind.
We discuss opportunities individually. Any proposal will explain who is responsible for the work and its costs, along with rights and commercial terms, before either party commits.
What happens next
A conversation before a proposal.
Tell us about it.
Share your idea or manuscript stage, the support you want, and any target dates.
Work out the scope.
We discuss the work involved, how we would collaborate, and the proposed deliverables.
Review your proposal.
Pricing and terms are custom and agreed before work begins.
Hiring a service is separate from joining the TaleWeaver publishing catalog. You can seek help while continuing along your own publishing path.
You do not need a finished brief.
A short description is enough to begin. Tell us about the story you want to tell, and we will talk through where TaleWeaver can help.
