EDITING SERVICES

If you've got a manuscript you would like to publish, we can give you the help you need to get it out there. Our editing is top-notch. Our books have been featured on dozens of radio and television shows, including Coast to Coast AM, KATU-TV, Fox Television, and the National Geographic Channel, as well as in dozens of magazines and newspapers. One of our books was licensed by Sony Pictures for use in the film Angels and Demons. Another one of our titles had the foreign language rights purchased recently by a company in Hungary.

When we edit a book, we're not just proofreading for grammar and spelling. We do everything we can to bring out the best quality in a manuscript. That can mean fact-checking, cleaning up shifting timelines and confusing changes of tense, breaking up paragraphs, clarifying meaning, and identifying potentially problematic segments. Got footnotes? Tables? Photos? Illustrations? An Index? Need an index? No problem. We can handle that.

Note: While the time required for editing work will of course vary with the length and nature of each particular manuscript, we sell editing services at package rates. Our Editing Services Package for manuscripts of 300,000 words or less can be edited for a flat $995, and have an average two-week turnaround time. For larger projects, please submit the specs for a free estimate to tracy@quintessentialpublications.com

The Editing Services Package does not include publishing services of any kind. Should this be desired, it is recommended that you purchase the Publishing Superpak (which includes editing, publishing, and layout services) for $1995.00.

To take advantage of either of these package deals, or to negotiate terms for a proposed project, please write to tracy@quintessentialpublications.com. We'll discuss the details of your project and hammer out a battle plan.
