Professional Editing Services
Developmental content editing
In-depth editing involving plot and argument evaluation, specifically focused on fiction and nonfiction books. This process requires the author and the editor to work side by side to perfect the book.
Line editing and copyediting
Surface editing for grammatical and spelling errors, usually in the case of newspaper and magazine editing. Also falling under this category are most professional documents, short stories, and Web content.
Proofreading
Final-touch polishing before the work goes to print. Edits for this round are done on paper, although we can transfer them to electronic copy if that suits your needs.
Reader's Response
Professional feedback on the overall concept and presentation of the book. This is especially helpful for authors who want guidance in self-editing or revising before deeper editing begins.
Proposal development
Creation and editing of book proposals, including genre and sales evaluations, marketing agendas, publisher research, and manuscript polishing.
Style Guides
Different writing styles follow different rules. Indigo Editing, LLC, offers services following Chicago, MLA, AP, APA, and house-specific style guides for books, short stories, essays, professional documents, Web content, and journalistic writing.
