Welcome

Whether you’ve just finished your first novel or your tenth (or fiftieth!), we're here to help.

We support authors in their self-publishing journey, from the first draft to the finished product, with coaching, editing, formatting, and marketing services.

We specialize in the following genres: fantasy, romance (all varieties, including paranormal), young adult (fantasy, romance, and dystopian), and thrillers.

Whatever your level of writing, our aim is to help authors strengthen story architecture while preserving the author's voice. With Luna Imprints Author Services (LIAS), you can be sure to get professional services, one-on-one coaching, and a guiding hand along the journey that cares as much about your writing as you do.

What authors say about us

“A partner in the creative process”

“Alexa never fails to deliver insightful and challenging comments through her beta reading. I’ve used her for every book in my Singularverse series, and with each successive volume, her expertise has grown. She’s come into her own as a premier beta reader and partner. Because that’s what LIAS is for authors—a partner in the creative process. She won’t always tell you what you want to hear, but she’ll always tell it like it is. And that is something every author needs!!”

Eldon Farrell

Author of the Singularverse sci-fi/fantasy series, the Descent thriller series, & more

“Exceeded my expectations”

“I had been unhappy with my initial editor and was a bit wary going forward. But Alexa’s skills as an editor, with both developmental and copy editing, exceeded my expectations. She is thorough and meticulous, but also warm and encouraging, and generous with advice outside of the editing purview. I was so pleased with the result that I hired Alexa to edit my next two books in the series and recommended her to two fellow authors who subsequently hired her as well. I should add that Luna Imprints stays in line with standard rates for editing and proofreading, but provides (in my opinion) superior services, and offers great little perks such as online Zoom meetings to follow up with any questions or clarifications. I greatly appreciate the fact that Alexa is respectful of me as an author, always acknowledging that it is not her book, it is mine, and changes are ultimately up to me. This is not only reassuring, but it also makes it easier to accept the changes and recommendations that I need to make in order to make the book shine, even though I don’t always want to do so. All these facets add up to my recommendation of Alexa Padou as an outstanding editor!”

Judith Lepore

Author of the The Magic of Miraven epic fantasy series

“Fruitful and helpful recommendations”

“Alexa did an assessment of my novel that really helped me move forward. Her report was not only readable and excellently structured, but it also addressed the right issues and problems. In addition, she assisted me with several video chats to find solutions to more challenging and complex problems. Both of these video chats were very fruitful and helpful.”

Simon Fanta

Author of Torchlight, an epic fantasy novel
