Editorial Services

Each author has unique editorial needs. Experienced authors often know which specific services they need. They may wish to have help with sentence structure, punctuation, organization, transitions, or word usage.
Some authors are intimately familiar with their publisher's style manual, others have no idea what a style manual is. Professionals may be experts on a specific topic and be able to provide authoritative content, but have little or no experience in preparing a manuscript for publication.
Prices for editorial, consulting, and coaching services depend upon the size, nature, and timeline of the project.
To do the best job for you, Jane will ask about your specific needs. If you are unsure what those needs are, Jane can evaluate a sample chapter and provide information about potential publishers for the material, the appropriate style manual for the manuscript, and the author's editorial needs such as problems with grammar, word usage, punctuation, or other technical details.
When you have doubts about the structure or style of a manuscript, you may wish to hire an editor. You might simply want assurance that you are on the right track. You might suspect that you have problems with spelling, grammar, syntax, or word usage. If for any reason, you would feel more comfortable getting a professional's help or opinion before you submit it to the publication of your choice, that may be the time to contact editor@janeganter.com
