We will give you and your book the same careful attention we give authors with New York publishers.
Even if you’re self-publishing, your manuscript needs to be clearly written, well-organized, and free of typos if you want readers to take you seriously.
Publishers always bring in a copy editor before going to press. No exceptions. This work is done by professionals, trained in the conventions of publishing and the rules of grammar.
That’s where we come in. We’ve edited and coauthored books published by Adams Media, Alpha/Penguin, Aspen Publishers, Celestial Arts, Harper/Quill, Healing Arts, Hunter House, Jones & Bartlett, McGraw-Hill, Mosby, New Harbinger, New World Library, and North Atlantic.
Deciding what you need
Clearly you want your book to be the very best that it can be, a book you’ll be proud to put your name on.
Editing
Are you wondering if you’ve missed anything? Is your book ready to send to a publisher? Wouldn’t it be a shame to let all that work go to waste for lack of a good edit? This is the time to hire a skilled editor.
In-Depth Editing
Sometimes a book requires a more in-depth approach. This is considered substantive editing or developmental editing. An in-depth edit involves a closer look at organization, meaning, style, or voice. Since this type of editing may include rewriting or reorganization, it is always done before copy editing begins.
Ghost Writing
Our approach enables you to write on your own timeline, so you can get your ideas out of your head and onto the page. With our support, you can keep working your way through your book, without negatively affecting your professional or personal life. Before you know it, you’ll have a completed book.
Which approach is most ideal for your book?
We are accustomed to projects that require a long-term commitment such as books and large websites. A phased approach to these projects can eliminate much of the stress that authors usually experience.
You can opt-in here for a publishing guide that will help you decide where you are in the process and what you may need to complete your book. Once a month, we’d also like to send you a newsletter on publishing, new media, book promotion, branding, and other current trends.
