• Do you know your manuscript needs major reworking, but don't know where to start?

• After the long slog of writing, do you feel you need a professional view of what you've written?

• Do you think you might benefit from some editorial guidance from a sympathetic editor?

• Has your work already been turned down? Do you want to know why and whether or not there is anything you can do to improve your work? 

We can help you!

 

We undertake various kinds of work but focus mainly on manuscripts for short stories and novels (any genre except children’s writing and erotica), dissertations and thesis. From time to time, we also look at web-content and data for corporate brochures.  

 

What we offer is not just a one page report about whether the material is publishable or not. We aim to help you make your work the best it can ever be. The editor will:

• Carry out structural editing.

• Look at the storyline and its development (if it is fiction).

• Consider the content and structure of the work.

• Evaluate the tone, level and approach.

• Look at the writing itself.

Major editing of this kind focuses on the fundamentals rather than the detail; so, the editor will advise you on reworking your manuscript, rather than marking up the specifics of correct presentation and spelling (proof reading). Editing is a process which requires working through the manuscript, so it is a larger and more detailed task, which provides a report and overall assessment of what needs doing.

 

We would normally expect to be able to complete an Editing assignment in under three weeks, but will confirm the expected date of completion when we receive your order.

 

 

Here's what some of our clients say about our editorial services:   Aneeta Sundararaj ploughed through the jumbled mass of words I initially came up with and correctly pointed out that what I needed was "structure". Her generous nature and spirit made her an excellent mentor.'   Jamilah Samian Cool Mum Super Dad     I would like to thank you for your editor report on my first draft story, the report was very comprehensive and thorough. In the report you put some excellent and useful suggestions, on how I may progress forward to publishing my story. It has heartened me considerably in my quest to get published and has not deterred me in any way. I feel, I now have seen a pathway forward in telling my story, 'Before Flash's Tail.'    I have no hesitation in recommending Aneeta's services to anyone who like myself wants to tell a story, but is unsure how to get there.   Peter J Parker PGCM.
