HI, I'M JANET SCHWIND,
BUT SOME CALL ME

THE JANGSTA

I love to edit. Write. Help aspiring authors publish books. Make funny videos. Create content. Teach people how to do stuff online. Solve problems. Draw hats. Serve snacks. Drive around. Help people move. Make people laugh. Be generous. I’ve been a creative gangsta my whole life without even knowing it, till a really cool friend Marykaye called me The Jangsta one day and it stuck. I think she even wrote me a poem.

I will cut. you.

Being Jangsta means I go will go gangsta on you. I will NOT let you sit around whining about your book not being good enough to finish writing. You’re better than that. I will NOT allow you to release a mediocre book with weak sentences and grammar mistakes. I will NOT let you waste money on a vanity publisher and get ripped off.
I will NOT let you take yourself too seriously.

WHAT I WILL DO

JANGSTA PUBLISHES

Look, if you're here, you're meant to write. You may have a book burning in you right now, but you've been too afraid to begin. Or you've written one but don't know what to do next...like, you're clueless! Or you've thought,
I can't publish a book.
Yeah, you can. You just need a fun, ridiculously professional gansta type pal like me to do it with ya. I can do all the parts—editing to formatting to published and for sale online—both print and ePub.

pro
editing

Ridiculously professional editing in my Whole EditChilada™ style. It's so thorough, so much more than grammar and spelling—it's making your writing gangsta strong while always remaining true to your voice.

formatting & design

Being a creative gal, I love to take that fine-tuned manuscript and turn it into lovely, eye-pleasing pages. You'll walk away with three files—print book interior, print cover, and flowable ePub file—that you can upload online.

publishing on amazon

This is real do-it-with-you gangsta self-publishing right here. I'll walk ya through account setup—including ISBN, bar code, key words, categories—all the way through file upload and ordering a proof copy. And then that beautiful PUBLISH button.
