Editorial Services
I have worked for more than twenty-five years as a writer and editor for all manner of manuscripts—from fiction and nonfiction books to scholarly and technical papers to school theses and business communications. As a seasoned editor, I can help make your copy the best it can be, ready for submission. This means more than just proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling. I will ensure that you maintain focus and continuity and suggest ways to sharpen your vocabulary. I will eliminate wordiness and improve clarity, organization, tone, and style. Because I am also a writer, I understand that conserving the author’s style and voice is paramount. And I know the type of guidance, encouragement, and honesty a writer needs and respects.
To begin, I will send you a pricing a quote within 24 hours with a letter outlining my understanding of your expectations and a proposed time schedule. The completed project will include the edited manuscript, featuring on-screen Track Changes that outline my queries and suggested changes, as well as an editorial letter summarizing my comments.
