Help for writers

Getting your manuscript copy edited

If you are looking for copy editing online, it can be difficult to ensure that you are getting a professional copy editor who will do a good job on your manuscript.

Let WritersServices help you!

Hardly any authors can copy edit their own writing or know much about what is involved. It is in any case notoriously difficult to spot the errors in your own work. So professional copy editing does make sense, either if you are trying to give your work its best chance when submitting it or, even more crucially, if you are planning to self-publish.

But how are you supposed to tell who will do a good job, when the editorial services on the web all sound pretty much the same and it’s tempting to go for the cheapest?

Well, to start with WritersServices has been going for twenty years now and all our editors are professionals with experience within the publishing industry. During that time we have provided thousands of satisfied writers with many services, copy editing being just one of them.

So that you can see exactly what your editor will produce, we have just introduced a free three-page sample, which we can provide at the same time as we give you your quote. We hope it will give you confidence in our copy editing, since you'll be able to see for yourself that our editors do know their job.

If you decide to go ahead, your copy edited manuscript will come back to you as two files, one with ‘track changes’ to show exactly what has been done, and one with all the changes accepted which we recommend you read through and use. This is standard and we hope it will give you confidence in our copy editing, since you’ll be able to see for yourself that our editors do know their job.
