Editing & Proofing
As if it was not hard enough to write in the first place, when it comes to refining, cleaning it up, making it flow right and ultimately bring it to an error-free ready-to-submit and publish state – most writers struggle.
It starts with proofreading your work, line and flow editing it and to ensure that it is actually at its best – and contrary to common believe, self-editing is not only difficult, but near impossible. Ask anyone.
Sure you can and should re-read, tweak and re-write where you feel it is necessary in view of making your story, copy, content or book its best, but there is a definite limit to what you can do yourself.
You see, after working over any writing a few times, our brain does actually not read what is there, but assume what was written, which is why even the best written book, most book sin fact end up with a blooper or typo in there somewhere – even thought they have gone through multiple layers of editing.
Come to your work in hand right now, be it an article, a chapter, your personal story or IP book or even the captured life story of your parents or grandparents (heirloom book) – before you can take it to the next stage of its evolution ands readiness – you will need a capable, trustable and efficient proofreader and editor – and we have a team of the best.
And, these are actually real people – not a gramma program or word-checker – but people with a passion for the written word, the sensitivity to maintain your voice and the ability to tweak where needed to help tell your story best and to ensure the reader’s experience is such that they will read on…

Content Editing:
Ensuring that your content is actually hitting the mark, makes sense to the reader and does justices to the concepts and key messages behind it, is more important than you think. And, unfortunately, many writers forget to consider the reader in their work. They are so focused on writing and telling their story or sharing their material that little thought is spent on thinking about how it is received and by whom.

Lastly, all of the above layers of editing are already included in our publishing packages, and with books there is certainly not a one-size-fits-all approach, so depending on your level of writing we can tailor the editing process to suit you. We understand that the best stories or books usually never come from the people who are the best writers, and just because you may not be the best speller or struggle with dyslexia, it does not mean your story is not worth sharing, it might just need a little more work than others.
Here it is, over to you to reach out to us for any of your editing and proofreading and we promise we will care for your writing, your word-baby with the utmost of respect and care.
