Editorial Services

When you have doubts about the structure or style of a manuscript, you may wish to hire an editor. You might simply want assurance that you are on the right track. You might suspect that you have problems with spelling, grammar, syntax, or word usage.

Each author has unique editorial needs. Experienced authors often specify which services they need. For example, some ask for consultation on organization. Others are confident about the way they've organized a document, but ask for help with such details as sentence structure, punctuation, transitions, or word usage.

Some authors are intimately familiar with their publisher's style manual, others have no idea what a style manual is.

Many academics and professionals are experts in specific topics who can provide authoritative content, but have little or no experience in preparing a manuscript for publication.

To get the most effective and efficient help for your specific needs, spell them out in detail whenever you contact a potential editor.

For writers who want to ensure that their manuscript is ready for publication, but unsure about the specifics, Jane can evaluate a sample chapter. Then she can suggest potential publishers for your material and the appropriate style manual for those publishers. She will also point out any problems with the grammatical and stylistic details that are important to publishers.

If for any reason, you would feel more comfortable getting professional help before submitting a manuscript to the publication of your choice, that may be the time to contact
