Editing Services

There are many considerations in creating your best writing. They begin with simple attention to the rules of writing (proofreading). Then they move to various editing options like structure, content, and flow, and may, if you desire, end with rewriting.

Pricing depends on the level of work you select.
All editing can be accomplished online via e-mail. We edit your work in a timely fashion.

Our services are for books (nonfiction), articles (magazines, newspaper, and digital copy), newsletters, website copy, speeches, blogs, and marketing material copy.

Rewriting

FRAME AND PRESENT

You may have a wealth of knowledge and many ideas that you need to organize to create a book or an article. Or you may have a piece of writing that contains what you wish to convey but is in need of reorganization.

We help you reorganize so you can frame and present your material clearly and powerfully.

Formatting

MATCH YOUR VISION

Formatting includes elements such as margins, font, font treatments, chapters, and sections. We format your writing to match your vision. You may require a minimum of treatment or a great deal or something in between. We provide what you have in mind.

Back Cover

You have only a few seconds to capture the attention of the casual book browser. You need that person to want to read what you’re offering. We work with you to create an appealing back cover with the punch that compels the purchase.
