Projects and Services
On this page you can find more information about how we handle projects and what services we offer. Providing the best possible service to clients in the primary goal of this company. With that in mind, we offer Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) and Contracts to all of our clients.
"I notice that you use plain, simple language, short words, and brief sentences. That is the way to write English - it is the modern way and the best way. Stick to it; don't let fluff and flowers and verbosity creep in. When you catch an adjective, kill it. No, I don't mean utterly, but kill most of them - then the rest will be valuable. They weaken when they are close together. They give strength when they are wide apart. An adjective habit, or a wordy, diffuse, flowery habit, once fastened upon a person, is as hard to get rid of as any other vice." Mark Twain.

Writing Projects:
We develop a comprehensive brief for the project by e-mail exchange, telephone conversations, or in-person meetings. From the brief, we develop a contract and, as required, a Non-Disclosure Agreement. You review the contract and make a deposit (usually 25% or 50% of the total fee). We begin work on your project and offer you a sample of the finished product for you to review. If you approve the sample, we keep going! If you want to change the project's direction, this is your opportunity to say so.
Editing and Proofreading Projects:
There are various degrees of editing and proofreading. This is something we want all our clients to be aware of. If you have a manuscript that you have submitted to us for editing/proofreading, the first step is for us to agree on just how much editing you want us to do. Do you just want a scan for grammar, spelling, and syntax, or do you want a comprehensive edit of style as well? Determining this is the first step: we outline the agreement in your contract and, as with writing projects, we offer you a sample of the finished product after you make your initial deposit. We avoid surprises and, if you have any queries about the edits we propose, we are happy to offer a critique to help you improve your writing.
Tutoring Services and E-Courses:
College and high school students and anyone with an interest in learning new knowledge and skills is welcome to e-mail us for information about tutoring services and e-courses. Basically, we would like to start offering on-line and in-person tutoring in a variety of subjects.E-courses in English and American Literature, History, Modern Languages, and Classics will shortly be developed and offered for a modest fee. We will also consider developing special content for students if there is something in particularly you would like help with. We also hope to offer an e-course on writing. E-mail us if this is something you are interested in.
Literary Agent Services:
If you have a manuscript you would like help submitting to publishers, we currently consider representing both fiction, non-fiction, and poetry. Please send your manuscript to our mailing address in the following format: double-spaced, Times New Roman, size 12 font. Put your name, telephone number, and e-mail address on every page. Make sure that the pages are also numbered. If you want your manuscript returned, send an SASE (appropriate return postage is a must). Feel free to follow up with a phone call or e-mail but it is best to wait a couple of weeks.
