Proofreading, Editing, Formatting, Indexing
Do you need an editor? While most writers get pretty good at editing (if we say so ourselves), it is always better to have a third party edit your work. Whether it is us or someone else, make sure you get someone with experience editing professionally!
Our editors have over 25 years of experience as freelance editors for authors, publishers, and journals as freelancers, staff editors, and editors-in-chief. We can proofread, edit, format accord to a type guide, and index your work. (See “Descriptions” below for more on each.)
Types of Works We Edit
Our editors have over 25 years of experience as freelance editors for authors, publishers, and journals, and have edited:
- articles & essays
- books (fiction and nonfiction)
- websites and blog posts
- dissertations and theses
- academic papers and books
Provide us with your Word, Pages, or PDF (or a hard-copy if you’re old school). We’ll return it your choice of format:
- In Word/Pages file using the Review function, so you can see each change, the original, and choose either.
- In a marked-up PDF
- In a marked-up hard copy (yes, we still have writers who prefer this, and we are happy to oblige!)

Descriptions
Proofreading. Some writers are pretty good at the technical aspects of writing. They only need our editors to check for minor errors in spelling, punctuation, grammar, etc.
Editing. Others writers are great storytellers, but just want to write and not be bothered with the technical parts of writing. (Don’t you envy them?) They ask us to perform more detailed editing for more clarity, word use, consistency, and structure.
Style guide. We will make sure your paper, article, or book conforms to the proper style guide. Our editor-trolls have done this for so long they like it and think it’s fun (the rest of us know this is a sickness.)
Indexing. Especially important for nonfiction and academic works. We will take your final document and produce a formatted index, with words and page numbers. You choose the words you want indexed from a list we produce of all words used in your document.
