Elevate your writing from good to top-notch.
Regardless of what you're writing, you need another perspective, a fresh set of eyes to review and improve your written work.
Let us help bring your writing to a new level of quality and marketability.
We have years of editing and critiquing experience on projects ranging from novels and short stories to non-fiction articles, academic papers, and dissertations.
Proofreading
Nothing turns an editor off more than misspelled words and grammatical mishaps. With the number of submissions editors receive, they're looking for any reason to toss your manuscript into the slush pile.
We find and correct misspelled words, punctuation problems, grammatical errors, hyphenation issues, and problems of tense. » more details...
Line-Editing
Editors want clear and concise writing.
You may have a good story or article, but are you too verbose? Do you use weak verbs and vague nouns? Do you overuse forms of the verb to be? Or confuse farther and further? Affect and effect? Lie and lay?
We proofread, revise awkward sentences, replace weak or vague words, restructure paragraphs, and cut needless words and phrases. » more details...
Critiquing
Proofreading and line-editing focus on correctness, clarity, and brevity.
What about your story or article? Is it compelling? Are there problems with logic or structure? For fiction, does your main character act on her own accord, or is she just along for the ride?
We review the broad strokes of your work, providing comments within the text and a separate written critique. If you're writing a longer work, let us critique your outline, synopsis, or first chapter(s). You'll save both time and money, catching structural problems early on in the writing process. » more details...
