"M. Wesley Corie II has worked on multiple projects for me and every time he delivers beyond expectations. His editing is sharp, the formatting is beautiful, and he is very reliable with turnaround. He's an invaluable part of my publishing process."

What I Do
-
Book Layout
I handle interior layout for both print and eBook so your work looks as professional as the traditionally published titles sitting next to it. Clean typography, proper formatting, and no mysterious spacing issues haunting your pages.
-
Book Cover Design
I design covers that grab attention in a crowded marketplace and actually reflect what's lurking inside your pages. I strive for professional, genre-appropriate artwork that makes readers stop scrolling and start buying. Bring your own art and we can make it shine, or I can help you with a custom design; my style is photo-illustration.
-
Editing & Proofreading
From developmental feedback to line editing and proofreading, I provide the editorial support your manuscript needs: honest, constructive feedback from someone who understands horror and respects your vision. Your story stays yours; it just gets sharper and ready to terrify readers for all the right reasons.
About Me
I am a project manager, author, editor, and graphic designer based out of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I work with October Nights Press and independent horror authors who are serious about their craft but don't take themselves too seriously.
Check out my portfolio to witness some of the nightmares I've helped bring to life. If your manuscript needs someone who gets horror and actually gives a damn about indie authors finding their audience, let's talk.
I don't accept AI-generated manuscripts or cover art, and I don't use generative AI in my own editing, layout, or design work. Every page and cover here is made by hand. Read my full AI policy.
