“The difference between the almost right word and the right word…’tis the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning.” —Mark Twain

Editing
We review copy using a three-step process:
- We give your manuscript a top edit. We’ll read it several times to determine where the big holes are, what sections work and don’t work.
- We read your manuscript again, this time for language clarity. We’ll point out places where paragraphs are unorganized, word choice is not quite right, and dig deep into your prose.
- Our third read of your manuscript gets down and dirty: We’ll make sure each word of your manuscript is exactly right.
We have proofreaders on staff who can clean up your manuscript for publication. These eagle-eyed professionals can spot typos, misspellings and even formatting problems.
