Editing and Proofreading by Objective, Candid Professionals
Editing and proofreading your special manuscript is a job for a professional editor.
We've found the best of the best and hired them to be your second set of eyes.
We Understand Your Project
Whether you've written beat poetry or the next blockbuster screenplay, a lavish period romance or
a hard science fiction adventure, we know your form and genre. We know about important things like
leaving the dialects alone, preserving your voice and vision, and making sure you retain
complete creative control. If you've written nonfiction, be assured we'll
be focused on helping you communicate your ideas clearly and concisely, giving you a
better, stronger, and perfectly crafted manuscript.
We can work on all forms of poetry and prose, in any genre.
Your Copyright and Confidentiality Are Assured
You've worked hard, and you've got a fantastic plot or some great ideas. Scribendi.com will never make
a claim on your copyright, and we don't require credit or acknowledgment of our
work. We have some of the strictest confidentiality and
privacy policies around. Your manuscript file is
safe with us too; file transfers to and from our site are encrypted.
You Need It When?
We can turn a short (up to 10,000 words) manuscript around in 24 hours. We can do a quarter-of-a-million-word
epic in a matter of weeks.
How Much?
We're glad you asked. We like to keep things simple, so
we charge by the word.
