| The
Editing Process |
A
Fair and Honest Evaluation
After an evaluation of your manuscript, we will truthfully,
but gently, let you know what level of editing will be
required.
As part of the free sample evaluation, we will explain
each of the recommended levels of editing, from simple
proofreading to more complex editing and how they will
effect your manuscript. We will also discuss your expectations
and writing style preferences.
Your are always welcome to ask questions, We are friendly,
professionals who want you to be completely comfortable
with the editing process.
Levels of Manuscript Editing
Proofreading -- Software spell checking is NOT the same
as proofreading. A manuscript must be READ carefully to
catch errors that spell checking will not catch, such
as the obvious wrong words: there instead of their, hear
instead of here; the list is endless.
Copy Editing -- Paragraph considerations, tempo, and style.
Our editing services will help make sure your manuscript
maintains your unique writing style while conforming to
standard grammatical and editing styles. We will discuss
what type of copyediting you want and your editing style
preferences in more detail after you have submitted your
sample for a free manuscript editing evaluation (submit
a manuscript for a free editing evaluation.)
Story Editing -- To help create a better story: Character
development, logical time considerations, etc.
We can also format your manuscript with borders, page
numbers, chapter titles, margins, illustrations, and headings.
Let us design your book page layout and cover for self-publishing
and print.
Just give us a call to discuss the type of editing your
manuscript will require and our prices.
(You will find our prices to be surprisingly low.)
Editing Suggestions Shown in Color
We use Microsoft Word, a wonderful program which makes
it possible for the writer to either accept or reject
any suggested edits. If you are not versatile with this
software, we will be happy to give you a quick tutorial
on the many tools that are included in this program. |
