Substantive & Developmental Editing
Often considered a “macro edit,” this kind of editing requires commenting on the overall organization and structure of your manuscript. It also involves an analysis of your manuscript for pacing, redundancies, shifts in tense, overall flow, and consistency of tone. We’ll provide you with suggestions to let you know what’s working and what’s not. We’ll consult with you throughout the editorial process to ensure your intended meaning remains intact. This service applies mostly to rough drafts of novels, memoirs, and articles.
Copyediting
We check your text (manuscript, Web site content, business documents) for how it adheres to the mechanics of style: grammar, punctuation, spelling, and usage.
Proofreading
We check your document for typos, misspellings, and punctuation. This is a basic service for documents that are almost in their final stages; the majority of grammar errors have been corrected or the document just needs a fresh set of eyes to take a final look to make it perfect for publication.
Résumé Revising
We will improve your existing resume by adding key words, streamlining your work experience, and formatting it to attract the attention of potential employers. We do not provide resume-writing services.
Writing
We write cover letters, entertainment reviews, and Web site bio pages.
Spanish Translation and Proofreading
We translate short English documents into Spanish and vice-versa. We also provide basic Spanish proofreading.
