Reliable & Dedicated Editing Services
Even the most seasoned authors benefit from editing. Grammatical mistakes, typographical errors, structural issues, and punctuation problems can take away from a book or misconstrue what the author is trying to convey. Editing is more than just checking for typos. Spelling, punctuation, grammar, repetition, misuse of words, consistency, capitalization - these are just some of the things a good editor will provide for you.
Do I Really Need Professional Editing Services?
Simply put, yes! Sadly, a lack of editing can make or break a book's potential. I have seen many authors receive poor reviews based mainly on typos and grammar issues. Let's face it, word of mouth and good reviews mean everything to an author trying to sell their work. Good editing should improve your book and provide you with a second set of eyes to pick up what we most often miss ourselves. Sure, having a friend look over your book may save money, but it will not provide quality editing. A quality book goes hand in hand with quality editing.
Why Choose Writer's Resource?
Since starting my professional editing career, I have edited and/or proofread over four hundred books to date for both indie authors and publishing companies - although I've been silently correcting grammar for as long as I can remember! I have edited several different genres (romance, mystery, sci-fi, fantasy, horror, nonfiction, children's/middle grade literature, etc.), but the majority of my experience is in the romance genre. However, I am always open to different genres. I also spent fifteen years in administration, which honed my editing and proofreading skills as I reviewed and prepared: correspondence, business proposals, employee handbooks, marketing letters, company procedures, etc. I edit every book I work on as an editor AND a reader, and I am dedicated to making your manuscript the best it can be!
