Writing
At Edit Resource we do original writing for a variety of projects, including books, magazine articles, and more. We perform research as needed and suit the writing style to the client’s requirements.

Cowriting
If an author doesn’t have the time or skill to write alone, Edit Resource can pair up with him or her to get the job done. Sometimes, having a professional writer come alongside is all it takes to get a project really moving.

Ghostwriting
When an author has great things to say but lacks the time or skill to put ideas on paper effectively, the author or publisher might outsource the writing chore to a professional. To learn more about how we at Edit Resource put an author's message into words, please go to Inspirational Ghostwriting.

Copywriting
Whether in print or online, advertising today requires clear, punchy writing. At Edit Resource, we can come up with text that promotes a product or service in a memorable way—text that sizzles, text that sells. We’ve performed copywriting on more than two hundred books.

Proposal Writing
A book proposal is a document that summarizes a book idea and goes to an acquiring editor. It's got to be good if the book is going to sell! We have been called upon by authors, literary agents, and others to write numerous book proposals that have gone on to get contracts.

Developmental Editing
If an author needs help in taking a work from concept to completion, Edit Resource can cooperate with him or her in developing the work to meet the publisher’s—and the readers’—needs. Keeping word count, target audience, and format in mind, we offer knowledgeable critique of the evolving manuscript.

Substantive Editing
After an author has completed a manuscript, Edit Resource can shape it so that it communicates in the best possible way to the target audience. We cast a critical eye over such things as structure, tone, and flow, then go to work.

Line Editing
Some publishers have an editorial stage called line editing that is less intrusive than developmental or substantive editing but more involved in reworking the text than copyediting. At Edit Resource, we can shape up a manuscript line by line.
