The process of editing a manuscript can be a challenging, and even
frustrating task. For a writer, it can be difficult to look at your own words
with clarity and fresh eyes. It takes knowledge and experience to carefully
craft and refine a manuscript to be the best product it can be.
Thankfully, we understand the delicate touch editing requires and have a
variety of professional editing services to help you through this crucial phase.
Our editors not only correct the basics, like spelling and grammatical errors, but
they also review books for punctuation, word usage, and organization, not to
mention important intangibles like clarity and flow. These enhancements can
really make a manuscript shine.
But we also understand that the act of editing is not about rewriting an author’s
work. As the author, you retain full creative control throughout the process.
After all, our editors are here to work with you, not instead of you. Nothing can replace the vision and perspective only an author can bring to the table.
EDITING QUOTE
Before beginning work on your manuscript, we would be pleased to prepare a sample edit for you to consider, as well as a quotation for our services. One of
our editors will review three to four pages of your manuscript to demonstrate for you the type of modifications we feel would best serve your particular project. There is no charge for this sample edit and quote. It’s part of our commitment
to providing you with peace of mind, right from the start.
