Absolutely Write and
The-It-Factor
The Ed-IT
Factor
It's a fact. The most
appealing, intriguing or informative manuscript, if it is not cohesive and
polished, or if it contains spelling, grammar and style errors, will be
consigned to the bottom of a publisher's slush pile never to see the light of
day. If such a manuscript is self-published, chances are the
book will never make the mark and will result in disappointment, both for
the author and any readers who may purchase the book along the way.
For many
self-published authors, even those who have experienced the joy of holding their
beautifully printed books in their hands, the biggest regret voiced is that the
book was not professionally edited before publication.
A poorly edited book
loses credibility very quickly. Many inspired or qualified writers excel at creating an
amazing story or penning a valuable non-fiction work, but do not excel at the
time-consuming and detail intensive task of editing. Many writers are also too close to their own work to
see errors in style, grammar or flow, and other crucial writing and
editing elements.

At The It Factor, we
specialize in Copy and Line Editing, but can also provide any or all of the
above services on most submissions on an as-needed basis. Please email us for a
personal assessment on your needs and/or more information. Our editing fees are
in line with and usually lower than most large industry editorial
service providers while maintaining the highest standards of professionalism to
help authors through the publishing process. And you can be assured of personal
attention and dedication to the success of your work from our editorial team. We
have traditional and self-published authors at The It Factor who understand the
publishing process from personal and professional experience, and editors
who have worked on projects ranging from journalism to magazine editing,
non-fiction books (business, inspirational, educational, technical, etc.) to
fiction and romance writing.
Copy and line editing
is usually priced between 12 to 15 cents per word, although rates may vary
depending on your manuscript and requirements.
We can even provide an
editorial evaluation for you for a very reasonable fee and based on our
feedback, you can contract freelance editing services or a package with another
publishing services provider based on the information contained in our report.
This can save you a lot of money and resources, as you will only be contracting
for the services you really need.
Even the best writers
require the skills and the impartiality of an editor to point out any
unintentional lapses and to correct or tweak what they may have been just too
close to see. Writing is truly a noble
profession and a great book, whether it is a timeless classic or a bright new
voice will always inspire and uplift our world.
If you are
that bright new voice, let The It Factor help ensure that your final work is
polished to perfection and has that 'It Factor' shining for all to
see.
