Writers' services

Whether you have finished writing your masterpiece and want to get the grammar and syntax up to a publishable standard or have writer’s block and do not know how to proceed, we can help you, with a range of services.  This page is likely to appeal to people who belong to the major writers' social networks like Author's Den, Book Marketing Network,  AuthorTree and AuthorNation.  You might like to check them out after taking a look at our writer's services.

Story development assistance – if you have the beginnings of a story idea but are unsure of how to develop it or structure it, we can help you turn your raw ideas into a fully developed plot ready for writing – in complete confidence.

Reader’s Critique – a brief initial critique summarizing the strengths and weaknesses of your manuscript.

Editorial Critique – a comprehensive critique substantial that will indicate clearly what further work needs to be done to bring the manuscript up to publishable or saleable quality.

Copy-editing – correcting grammar, spelling, and punctuation, as well as marking the work for fonts, pagination, etc, for typesetting.

Proof Reading– checking the proofs after the text has already been copy edited and typeset

Rewriting – This service is especially valuable for writer’s whose first language is not English.  But it is also available for native English speakers who feel that they need significant help improving the manuscript.

Polishing– for writer’s whose work requires something less than a full rewrite, but needs some improvements.

Synopsis writing – Sometimes it is hard to condense your work into the kind of synopsis that can be sent to a publisher or producer (for a screenplay).

Typing and typesetting service – we can type your manuscript from a handwritten draft or audio-recording.

In addition to using our services, you might want to explore various other sites for writers such as Writing.com that has been helping aspiring writers for many years now and the more recently created Authonomy, owned by HarperColins. You might also want to promote your published books on websites where readers share their views and tastes.  LibraryThing and Goodreads are the two biggest, but there are several others.
