Copy editing • (Also known as
"Proofreading"). You've got the writing just the way you want it—almost.
Now you need an extra pair of eyes to catch all those language
mistakes you may have missed and you know that your Spell
Checker just won't cut it.
As the final step in your writing
process, this service corrects any spelling errors, grammar
errors, typos, or other language errors in your manuscript.

Stylistic Editing • You've
got a late-stage draft of your writing. You're happy with your
general ideas, but the writing isn't quite as strong as you'd
like. You're looking for a professional to improve the overall
quality of your writing.
We'll polish your writing
sentence-by-sentence. We'll strengthen word choices and sentence
arrangement. We'll also suggest ways to better organize your
thoughts and clarify your ideas.

Editorial Consultations •
You've got a great idea on your hands, but you want a
professional's opinion about what works and what doesn't. We'll
read your early draft to guide you in what directions to take
from here.

ESL Editing • ("English as
a Second Language" editing). Your native language is not
English, but you're preparing an English manuscript for
publication and you need help.
We'll work with your manuscript
until it sounds like it was written by a native English speaker.
We'll also give it a final proofread to make sure that it
contains no errors.

Query Packages • You've
finished your novel or non-fiction book and you're about to send
it off to agents and publishing houses. Without a strong query
package, your manuscript will be discarded without a single word
being read.
We'll create a query letter,
chapter outline, and synopsis that meets industry standards and
presents your work in the best possible light, thereby improving
your chances of getting your manuscript read.

Cover Letters • You're on
the job hunt and you're responding to a job posting. You want to
make sure that you present yourself in a professional light and
that your credentials shine through.
We'll either create a cover
letter for you from scratch, or we'll put our professional
touches on your existing cover letter.
Writing • You have
something that needs to be written professionally, but you don't
have the skills to do it yourself.
We'll work with you to compose a
text that you can be proud to have your name on.
