We
have carefully chosen our team of editors from a field of more than
twelve thousand applicants. All have years of
experience working with publications, particularly with books. Many have advanced degrees, as
well as professional backgrounds in specialized areas.
Publication
projects may require this editorial work:
Substantive (or developmental) editing: We work with you to reorganize and rewrite your manuscript as needed,
developing content that is logical, accurate, complete, and
appropriate for the intended audience. Most manuscripts coming
to us will not need this work.
Copyediting:
We check for errors of spelling, grammar, punctuation, and
usage; ensure consistency of editorial style throughout the document;
clear up confusing and awkward writing; and query for problems
we cannot resolve. All manuscripts require copyediting and
proofreading.
Proofreading:
Our proofreaders review an already-edited document, checking for
any remaining errors and inconsistencies and ensuring that no
errors were introduced during layout.
Indexing: We manually create a professional index for your book following
one of the various index styles. Because a truly useful index is
based on ideas, not just words, it must be created by a trained
indexer, not a computer.
