      Your editor will correct 1,000 words from your manuscript. She’ll check your text for grammar, spelling, punctuation and word choice issues.

      N

      You’ll get useful and practical insights on the common errors you make.

      N

      You can immediately see what is needed to make your book error-free.

      You’ll receive two versions of your text. Think of it as the ultimate “before” and “after”!

      Version A is the “before.” You will see all changes made by your editor. These will appear in a different color using Microsoft Word’s Track Changes.

      Version B is the “after.” This is the new, corrected version with all the changes made. You will see what’s needed to make your book error-free.
