Helping You
Fulfill Your Dream
Through Editing Services
Do you need editing services to fulfill your dream of publishing success?
Of course you've done the best you can with your writing. You may even have asked Aunt Cindy; Mrs. Brown, your English teacher; or your best friend Jim to give you comments.
As a self-publishing author, you may be in a hurry to get your words into print or online. Publishing houses hire editors to make sure their authors produce the best books possible. As an independent writer, you are on your own to find professional support. Hold yourself in check and get the help you need before you go to print.
What do you need to make your self-published project the best it can be?
Each project needs its own unique combination of editing services.
Do you need
- substantive editing for an overall critique that shows your troublesome writing habits or saves you from making fatal errors in structure?
- line editing to make your writing consistent, smooth, and compelling so your reader moves effortlessly through your material?
- copy editing to correct the grammar, spelling, and punctuation so your book doesn't look like a bride with ketchup on her dress?
- educative editing, a service that uses your own work to guide you to a life-time of better writing that will give you ongoing confidence in your own writing based on knowledge?
