Copy-editing
Copy-editing service summary
Editing of book manuscripts, fiction and non-fiction, articles & features, e-publications, all the work required before going to the typesetter and printer, including FREE writing of prelims and back cover blurb. In addition, we write fresh website content pages or tweak existing ones.
Our editing service is geared towards those who have great ideas and need a little help in structuring and balancing the work that has been produced. Particularly helpful for aspiring authors and novelists, with special discounted rates for self-publishers.
We will always give you a fair and honest critique of your work, fully understanding that you may have spent days, weeks or months preparing your text and that it is 'your baby.'
We will suggest ways in which we think improvements can be made but it is your project and your decision as to how the final work looks on the page. You are the boss and we never forget that!
