We understand the economy has taken its toll on all of us, but if you’re going to publish a book and sell it in the marketplace, then we beg of you to ensure your book is properly edited. Having you aunts, uncles and best friends to "read over" your manuscript is not a form of editing, nor is it acceptable. Leave that process to the experts!
With 10 years of editing under our belts, our editors are seasoned, established, professional writers who will make your words and story flow beyond your wildest imagination. We will catch and repair typographical errors, incorrect grammar usage, formatting, and repetitive words that will turn your manuscript into a promising best seller. We will maintain your voice, while polishing your manuscript. Publishers and readers favor work that is free of errors, and so should you!
Editing is the foundation of a solid manuscript. When editing manuscripts, we will look for:
- Intended Audience (reading level, style, tone),
- Literary Devices (metaphors and similes, foreshadowing, repetition),
- Character Development,
- Dialogue and Narrative Flow, and
- Description (use of imagery, setting).
In addition to manuscript editing, we also edit:
- Scripts/screenplays,
- Manuals,
- Magazines/Trade Publications,
- Web Sites,
- Term Papers, Resumes, Book Reports,
- Business and Marketing Plans,
- Correspondences, Press Releases,
- And so much.
If you are still unsure whether you need our editing services, ask yourself these three questions:
- Has a professional editor evaluated my manuscript?
- Have I verified my facts and references?
- Is it original work?
If you answered "no" to any of the above, then you need us!
