Siren Release Day

Hi everyone,

Thank you so much for an amazing book birthday yesterday! I had so much fun at the online release party and I loved seeing all your pictures of Siren!

Siren is now available for purchase in paperback and eBook. Additionally, you can get the entire series for $6.99 if you buy the exclusive Kindle Boxed Set!

If you've been waiting to read my gritty urban fantasy series until the last book was out, now is the time.

Love,

Sophia

New Edition of Hummingbird

My little chapbook of poetry hummingbird got a mini makeover! The spine has always been wonky, and it has been switched out for a full wrap around cover that flows with the patterned front and back. If you've been waiting to get my first book of poetry (or if you're like me and that damn spine always drove you nuts) now is a great time to get it! And it is only $5.99!

Oh! Reminder! My second (full length) book of poetry soul like thunder is now available for preorder on Kindle for $4.99 and will be released in paperback on 4/15.

EXCITING NEWS

Hi guys,

I have some really exciting news! Vinyl is going to be made into an audio book! It will be available on Audible in the coming months. The coolest part is, my mom is actually doing the reading! She has an amazing storytelling voice. I will let you guys know when it comes out!

In other news, I sent Siren off to my editor a couple weeks back. We are on schedule for our late spring release date. Again, I will let you know when we have a more concrete date set.

Calida Lux Editing

Caldia Lux Editing
August 3, 2017
Hi all,

I am excited to announce I am now offering editing services for manuscripts, essays, short stories, application letters to jobs and colleges, query letters, poems, and pretty much anything else you can think of! I'll be offering several different types of editing listed below.

General/Developmental Editing: Overall feedback on your piece. Does it make sense? Does it flow well? Are there gaping plot holes or missing sentences? If there are characters present, are they well rounded?

Essay (5-10 pages): $10-15
Application Letter: $5
Short Story (5-15 pages): $10-20
Manuscript: ~ $150
Single Poem: $5
Poetry Collection: ~ $100
Queries: $5

Line Editing: In depth editing, line by line, for your piece. Everything from flow to logic to grammar fixes. Does the work make sense? Is it grammatically correct? Is there any awkward dialogue or phraseology?

Essay (5-10 pages): $15-25
Application Letter: $10
Short Story (5-15 pages): $15-25
Manuscript: ~ $275
Single Poem: $5
Poetry Collection: ~ $125
Queries: $10

Proof Reading Services: Editing aimed at grammar, punctuation, and spelling. Has little to do with the content of the manuscript (i.e. plot, logic).

Essay (5-10 pages): $10-15
Application Letter: $5
Short Story (5-15 pages): $10-15
Manuscript: ~ $125
Single Poem: $5
Poetry Collection: ~ $75
Queries: $5

Manuscripts I Am Happy To Edit

YA
MG
NA
LGBTQA+
Fiction
High Fantasy

Manuscripts I Will Not Edit

Taboo Erotica
Self-Help Books
Non-Fiction
Romance
Historical Fiction

A little bit about me: I am the #1 bestselling author of The Vinyl Trilogy as well as Hummingbird, the acclaimed book of poetry. I am an a junior at New York University studying English and creative writing. I love pigeons and Star Wars.

Disclaimer: All prices are subject to change based on individual cases. The price of each service will be solidified before the editing begins and will not change after. I am a full time student and author and reserve the right to turn down a piece for any reason (i.e. time constraints, content). I will accept payment via VENMO or PAYPAL only.

Interested in my editing services? Email me at sophiaelainehanson@gmail.com or DM me on Twitter or Instagram (@authorsehanson).

Update on Everything

Hi all!

It's been awhile! Sorry, life has been NUTS lately. But here's a little update on everything!

If you follow me on social media, you probably know that my dear friend and fellow author Jennifer Wilson and I were exhibitors at Book Con this year! It was BEYOND incredible. The sheer number of readers and authors and fans that visited our booth was...well...I am not sure I have the words to explain how much it meant to us. To have fans come up to me with tattered copies of Vinyl and Radio and ask me to sign them was a dream come true. We hope to return next year!

On another note, the cover and synopsis of Siren are out! If you have yet to add the final book in the trilogy to your library, get on it!

One last thing. I recently announced that after Siren releases, I will be releasing a collection of short stories set in Revinia called Coda. The stories will follow the Anthemites pre, post, and during the trilogy. Plot lines that were glossed over in the series will be explored in greater detail, and at least two of them will take place AFTER Siren, sort of like extra prologues. It will likely be less than 200 pages, but I hope you'll enjoy! I'll let you know when it gets added to Goodreads.

Thank you all!

May your song guide you home,

Sophia
