EDITING
If you are serious about getting published, you need to take the editing process seriously. If we do not point out potential improvements to you, publishers and agents will, and it will be in the form of a rejection letter.

Potential customers will also respond better, even if only subliminally, to concise prose with no punctuation where it doesn't belong. Whichever level of service your project needs, you will receive an honest critique of your work with structural suggestions.

We are also available for consultation as you go through your revisions. Our goal is to help you strengthen your own skills as a writer and communicator.

If your publisher prefers a certain style guide, your book must conform to that. We can use Chicago, AMA Manual of Style, GPO Stylebook, or any other manual you specify.


INDEXING
It's a commonplace among indexers that the most frequently heard question is "what's that?"  I usually say, "the back of the book, where you look something up . . ."

Check out the indexing page to see why you need an index, why you shouldn't prepare one yourself, and what some critics have said about books with missing or bad indexes.


COPYWRITING
My experience includes articles, newsletters, year-end reports, proposals, marketing copy, Web content, novels, non-fiction books, and many, many news releases.
- Marketing materials, newsletters
- Novels - all genres
- Essays and short stories
- Non-fiction books (non-technical)
- Web sites
- A/E/C industry: 8 years' experience, including Power Point presentations

For longer works, I can recommend some ghostwriters, or writers in specialty areas.
