Pre-publishing Services

The editor is an essential bridge between you and your reader. However well you know your work, our editors will give your text a professional polish and allow your book to make the impact that it should.

Among other things our editor will reorganise and reword sentences to improve sense and legibility, and ensure the structure of the text is logical. Those who may wish to use our editing service will include those who are used to writing but require the assistance of a professional to ensure their work has reached a publishable standard.

Our basic editing will consist of one reading for basic grammatical and typographical errors. Thereafter the editor works closely with the author.

If you have your own book cover, please send us your cover in JPG, PNG or GIF formats, matching the size you have selected for your book.

If you would like us to design your book cover for you, send us a synopsis of your book and any requirement you may have for your cover. Our designer will then discuss with you by email or on the phone how your book cover will be designed and you will be given a quote for the design.
