WE MAKE YOUR WRITING SHINE

Many beginning writers and first-time authors don't have a thorough understanding of the various types of editing that can be involved on a writing project.

 

Every writing project takes on its own unique characteristics, and subsequently requires a specific level of editorial scrutiny and detailed focus, depending on what stage the work is in, whether it be a developmental edit, substantive edit, copyedit, line edit, or a straightforward proofread.

​

At FB Edit–Design, we will guide you through the various stages of the editing process and pinpoint exactly what your writing project needs.

There's an old saying: “No man is an island unto himself.” In the case of writers, perhaps the line should be “No writer is an island unto him or herself.”

​

Indeed, the writing act can be a lonely endeavor—sleepless nights, bottomless cups of coffee, the recycle bin overflowing with discarded drafts. Writing is no easy task. It takes great effort and focus and a quiet place to think and be alone in one's thoughts.

​

And yet, no writer who strives for success is much without the support, assistance and encouragement of a trusted advisor. The input of a skilled editor and wordsmith is often what is required to help a writer achieve their dreams of being a successful, published author.

​

At FB Edit–Design we work closely with you to help improve the clarity and readability of your writing. We focus on the big and little picture elements, from the larger substantive and structural issues of tone and style consistency to the more detailed line editing issues of grammar, word usage, spelling, and punctuation.

 

No matter what stage your writing project is in, we are committed to transforming it from coal to shiny diamond!
