Manuscript Formatting and Proofreading

Available for documents of at least 75 pages. For smaller documents, please contact us for a quote.

An improperly formatted manuscript can be thrown in the rejection pile before the first word is read. Having your manuscript professionally formatted and prepared for submission means that your work itself will be seen.

Further, a manuscript could be automatically rejected for typos and other errors. Professional editing will ensure that your work will be judged on its true quality, rather than on mere technicalities. 

Manuscript Formatting 

This service will ensure that your manuscript is formatted properly for a standard publishing house. 

Manuscript Formatting and Proofreading

 In addition to formatting for a standard publishing house, your manuscript will be checked for errors in spelling, punctuation, grammar, and basic sentence structure. It will be returned to you with recommended corrections clearly marked in red.
