The Editor’s Mark is the difference between a rough draft and a refined piece of writing, between coal and a diamond.
You have created a written piece, whether its an article, a blog post, a speech, or a longer manuscript, fiction or non-fiction. But now the piece needs the Editor’s Mark, a suggestive evaluation by an unbiased third party who is as committed as you are to your work becoming the best possible piece it can be.
You want (and need) someone to partner with you, who will be straight with you while having faith in your vision. Its hard to be objective about your own work because you are so close to it. It’s your creation, a part of you. An editor will help you look at your piece through the eyes of your audience, while holding in mind what you want to convey. The editor will help you polish your piece while maintaining your voice, not by rewriting it, but by suggesting how you can improve what you have.
The Editor’s Mark is committed to respect for you as a writer and for the intention and voice of your writing while providing
- Developmental editing of fiction or non-fiction writing that looks at the big picture of the piece to be sure there is structure, consistency, and clarity.
- Line editing that ensures readability and flow through things like syntax, voice, and language.
- Copy editing that focuses on grammar, spelling and punctuation.
The Editor’s Mark also offers all kinds of non-fiction writing services for articles, speeches, blog posts, web content, e-books. Contact me for more information.
