Non-fiction and educational publications. You write your manuscript or copy. You can provide this to us electronically or as hard copy. We will edit your hard copy by hand using i
ndustry standard mark up symbols, or your electronic file using the Track Changes function in Microsoft Word. You will have the option to accept or reject these corrections when the document is returned to you. You need to consider the type of edit you are looking for. Copy editing provides detailed, line-by-line correction, ensuring that meaning is clear, concise and fluid and that the work is grammatically accurate. Structural editing checks for logical structure, character and plot development, and continuity. Proofreading is the final port of call before publication to ensure that no typos remain, that formatting is correct and that your work appears professional. Don't underestimate the importance of correct spelling and grammar when communicating with your audience! You may have an excellent grasp of spelling and grammar yourself. However, being close to the work means that you may not pick up on mistakes. Typos and errors can spoil your work and make it appear unprofessional.
