William Potter attempted his first novel at age eleven when he scribbled a few lines about a giant rampaging crab. The teen years kept his imagination in a state of unrest and he used poetry to journal personal thoughts, achievements and events of those times. He returned to his love of storytelling in his twenties, writing numerous short stories; and now in his forties, has completed two full-length novel manuscripts.
Professional Manuscript Editing
You have spent months perhaps years writing your book. The opening has a great hook. The characters are fresh and exciting. The dialogue is crisp and the plot has all the twists and turns needed to keep the reader gripped. The ending ties up all those loose ends and will keep them begging for more! But are you certain about spelling, punctuation, typographical, and grammatical errors? How about those nagging unclear and inconsistent paragraphs? You've spent too much time working on your manuscript to just take your chances.
I recommend a professional editing and proof-reading service before you send your book out to agents and or publishers.
A professional editor will proofread your work for: spelling, punctuation, typographical, and grammatical errors.
A professional will edit your work for unclear and inconsistent prose; including point of view and time line issues; confusing dialogue, word usage, and repetition; making corrections and suggestions, ensuring clarity, without altering your unique style.
Spell check software is not a replacement for a proof reader!
It is difficult to edit one's own work; and typographical, punctuation, and formatting errors are easily missed.
Editors and agents look for manuscripts as close to publish-ready as possible and will ignore submissions plagued with mistakes. Self-published works containing errors appear unfinished and will leave your readers with a less than favourable impression.
Don’t let this happen to you! Editing is affordable and will have your manuscript ready for the world! Don't rely on friends and family to tell if your project is ready.
Editors will polish your:
Manuscripts (fiction & nonfiction)
Annual reports
Newsletters
Technical writing
Query letters
School papers, essays, submissions
Resumes
Menus
