Writing
At Edit
Resource we do
original writing for a variety of projects,
including books,
magazine articles, and more. We perform research
as needed and suit the writing style to the client’s requirements.
Cowriting
If an author doesn’t have the time or skill
to write alone,
Edit Resource can pair up with him or her to get the job done.
Sometimes, having a professional
writer come alongside is all it takes
to get a project really moving.
Ghostwriting
When an author has great things to say but lacks the time or skill to put ideas
on paper effectively, the author or publisher might outsource the writing chore
to a professional. To learn more about how we at Edit Resource put an author's
message into words, please go to
Inspirational Ghostwriting.
Rewriting
Sometimes another writer can’t finish a project
for one reason
or another. In such a case, Edit Resource can step in and do a
quick rewrite so that the
publisher gets what it wants
in a timely fashion.
Copywriting
Whether in print or online, advertising today requires clear, punchy
writing. At Edit Resource, we can come up with text that promotes a
product or service in a memorable way—text
that sizzles, text that sells.
Proposal Writing
A book proposal is a document that summarizes a book idea and goes
to an acquiring editor. It's got to be good if the book is going to sell!
We have been called upon by authors, literary agents, and others
to write numerous book proposals that have gone on to get contracts. To learn
more about this service, please go to
Bookproposals.net.
Developmental Editing
If an author needs help in taking a work from concept to completion,
Edit Resource can cooperate
with him or her in developing the work
to meet the publisher’s—and the readers’—needs. Keeping
word count,
target audience, and format in mind, we offer knowledgeable
critique of the evolving manuscript.
Substantive Editing
After an author has completed a manuscript, Edit Resource
can shape it so that
it communicates in the best possible way to the
target audience. We cast a critical eye over
such things as structure,
tone, and flow, then go to work.
Line Editing
Some publishers have an editorial stage called
line editing that is
less intrusive than developmental or substantive editing but more
involved in reworking the text than copyediting. At Edit Resource, we
can shape up a manuscript line by line.
Copyediting
At Edit Resource, we know how important the details are. And we are
good at fixing grammar and spelling errors, checking for consistency, and
making a manuscript comply with house style. We are thoroughly familiar
with the AP Stylebook,
the Chicago Manual of Style, and other standard guides.
Proofreading
Any publisher who cares about sending out error-free materials
to its reading public needs
a quality proofreader. Accuracy, precision,
and attention to detail are hallmarks of Edit Resource
proofreading.
Indexing
For certain types of books, an index is an indispensable navigation tool for
readers. Edit Resource will produce the type of index a book needs with the
level of detail the publisher wants.
Note: Copyediting,
proofreading, and indexing may be handled through
resourceNET with
the permission of the client.
