Stories that spark change
Author services, under one roof.
Editing, design, websites, publicity and launch, all from one team that has read your book. Book a single service, or bundle them into a package. Every example below is work we did for an Entourage author.
Developmental, line, proof and polish
Editing is where a manuscript becomes a book people finish and recommend. We start with a review of what you have, then edit in passes, working with you directly through each one.
- Manuscript review and completion consultation
- Weekly writing and editing coaching
- Editing in your voice, never over it
Developmental edit
A big-picture read of the whole manuscript: story, structure, pacing and what to cut or build.
Copy & line edit
Clarity, style, point of view and tense, sentence by sentence. Two passes recommended.
Proofread & polish
The final pass for spelling, grammar and consistency before the book goes to layout. Two passes recommended.
A home for you and every book you write
Your own site, on your own domain, built around your books and the readers you want to reach. We write the copy, design it, connect your mailing list and add book pages with buy links for every retailer, plus press and events pages you can keep current.
A book sales landing page
Your book's landing page on Entourage is designed to work for you, focused entirely on your book, your key talking points, social proof, hooks, and marketing copy. We market this page even when you aren't so that your book never has to go without exposure.

“I had the absolute pleasure of working with Jennifer for my first publication, Our Yellow Brick Road. I was extremely apprehensive about the editing process, as the book told my very personal story and I was nervous that my voice would be removed. However, it turned out to be a brilliant experience with Jennifer! Her suggestions were offered with respect and care, and I was both relieved and ecstatic to see that she managed to bring out even more of my voice in the process. Jennifer is a true gem who I can't wait to work with again!”
“Thank you, thank you, thank you for believing in my story, for seeing how impactful it could be to other people, for saving my story from the ashes, and for working so hard to make my dreams come true. You are an incredible woman, and I hope that when you look yourself in the mirror, you see just how amazing you are. You are a fucking badass, and I truly can’t wait to see everything that Entourage does in the future because I have no doubt that amazing things are waiting for you.”
“I am grateful to my editor, Jennifer Goulden, for her magical way of taking my idea and bringing this beautiful book to fruition. Thank you for melding together the words in this book with your tears and rewriting them with so much love and sensitivity. Many hearts are beating in sync to serve the world through this book, and your heart plays the lead note.”
“Jennifer, thank you for the late nights of tag-teaming edits with me and for your word-wizardry and technical knowledge.”
“Thank you to you and Chris at Entourage Media for helping me to make this vision into a reality. You two are amazing at what you do, and it was a joy to work with you.”
“I owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to my incredible editor and publisher, Jenn Goulden, and masterful proofreader, Chris Arnold, of Entourage Media. Even though your edits made me go cross-eyed several hundred times, never once did it feel like a chore. I sincerely appreciate all of your enthusiasm, ideas, and the many Zoom calls! Your never-ending heart and depth of care have been instrumental in bringing this book to life. You went way above and beyond the anticipated edit, and from the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in Wonderlicious and for helping me make it shine.”
“Jenn, you are the most extraordinary editor. You took my words, added your insights and your twist of magic, and turned my book into a work of art. You are such a positive, generous, and encouraging person to work with. I am blessed to have you in my life now and for every other book after this one. Chris Arnold, for excellent work proofreading my book, and then doing a brilliant layout. You and Jenn are an amazing team, and I look forward to working with you both on many more books in the future.”
“I thoroughly enjoyed working with you and that means A LOT. You made it fun because, in addition to enjoying our discussions, you made the product better! There is so much talent you have to offer and share. I AM very lucky that our paths crossed – and that happened for a reason! My hats off to Chris as well!”
“Jennifer is the best editor to work with! Not only is she extremely talented and professional, but she brings a warmth to the experience that is unmatched! I would highly recommend working with her in any capacity for your writing projects.”
