EDITING SERVICES

Philosophy:

A written work is the same as a painting or sculpture. It is something an artist has crafted, pouring their heart and soul onto the digital screen. Because this process is extremely personal, it’s difficult to seek assistance knowing you are submitting to a critical analysis. However, the process is a necessary evil when presenting material for mass consumption.

It is the hope that many story issues can be eradicated prior to the publishing process to maximize the authors’ eventual profit. It’s much easier for story inconsistencies to be cleared away before being viewed by the public, rather than later in a very public review.

While the end result is to create a better product, critique and advice will be provided with the utmost respect to the author. It is the hope that the end result from the developmental editing process is the same for editor and author: the best product available.
