Ghost
From even the kernel of an idea, we help you realize your project with as much or as little writing from you as you’re comfortable with. Interviews, transcriptions, sifting through your archives, and making sense of it all are our starting points; from there we walk you from a table of contents to a final draft. It’s your book, but we take the guesswork and legwork out of the process.
Develop
The house specialty. You wrote a book, but it doesn’t feel quite right. Or you’ve got part of a book, but you’re not sure what happens next, or why, or in what order . . . We tease out what’s working, what’s standing in the way, and how we can help you produce the best possible manuscript. English not your mother tongue? English is hard! We have smoothed out publications for countless novelists, scientists, and scholars who feel more at home in other languages.
Edit
Your manuscript is complete, and it’s time to put it through its paces. Spelling, grammar, readability, continuity, sensitivity, and citation conformity are scrutinized line by line by our crackerjack team. No doubt your book is already great—but it will be tighter and righter after a trip to the spa.
Proof
Is that comma italicized? We comb your PDF with the finest of teeth and leave notes using Adobe Acrobat’s proofing tools. Whether you hire us to do it or not, don’t skip this step!
