Magnificent Tortellini Studio
Small games, gently made — and books, carefully made.
Small games, gently made — and books, carefully made.
This studio makes its own books end to end — editing, ebook builds, print interiors, covers — and now does the same work for other authors and small presses, at prices posted in the open. Your words stay yours: editing comes back as suggestions in a Word document with track changes on, never as silent rewrites. Your accounts stay yours: we deliver files ready to upload, and never touch your publishing accounts or credentials.
Your first 1,000 words of book editing free, or one sample chapter conversion free — judge the work before you spend anything. Use the intake form below and choose the free sample.
Every edit is a tracked suggestion you accept or reject, with margin notes explaining judgment calls. You warrant that you hold the rights to the manuscript you send; you keep all rights in your manuscript and your files.

Series and small presses: −20% from your third book onward. Cover art is only ever art you supply or documented public sources — we never use AI-generated cover art. Every delivered file is re-opened and checked before it ships: EPUB validation, Word revisions intact, page count, embedded metadata.
One sample chapter (studio-written test text), taken through the same production path a paying job takes. The files passed the delivery QA gate: every file re-opened and checked before shipping.
Before: clean manuscript text. After: the same chapter as a tracked-changes edit, a validated EPUB, and a print-ready interior — the three files above are the actual test outputs, not mock-ups.
PayPal: [email protected] · Venmo: @Joe-McDermott-17 · Crypto (USDC, BTC, ETH, SOL) by invoice if you prefer.
One honest note on PayPal and Venmo: every PayPal/Venmo payment is validated personally before work is released. That means a human-speed pause between paying and your job starting — it protects both sides, and it costs you nothing. Crypto payments follow the same invoice; please send the transaction hash with your job reference.
Tell us about the book. The form builds your job reference and invoice estimate, and opens a ready-to-send email with the details — files are arranged by reply email after intake, so nothing needs uploading here.
