Editing Services

As the creator of your work, there comes a point where your eyes see what is supposed to be on the page, not what is really there. Serious writers hire an editor or proofreader to polish their work of art to make it shine and error free.

Editorial Review
Is your book ready for reviewers? Are there holes in the plot? Did you leave any loose ends? Do the characters ring true? How thorough was your research? An editorial review by a professional can save you from embarrassment after your book is published.

An editorial review is an analysis of your manuscript. After reading your book, we will compose a detailed report on its plot, character development, writing style, and the overall project. The report will include an assessment of the project's potential success in today's literary marketplace. We will look for common mistakes made by new writers and make suggestions on how to fix them. We recommend taking advantage of an editorial review before the editing process.

Editing
We seek clarity and consistency in each sentence.   Run-on sentences and passages will be broken down and rewritten. We pay attention to the small details: grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, passive voice, word choice, spelling, consistency of style, clarity, etc.

Various types of editing are available based on the depth of wordsmithing you need. For that reason, we suggest contacting us for an estimate.
