DO YOU NEED AN EDITOR?
Writing is a solo occupation, just you and the blank page. Right up until you finish, and that’s when everybody wants to interfere. Especially editors.
We all know about editors, clueless barbarians who, instead of writing their own stories, prefer to butcher your work and destroy all that deathless prose.
But there are excellent reasons why an editor can be an ally, not an enemy.
When you are submitting a novel to a publisher or agent, it is crucial to make it look as attractive and professional as possible. Mistakes in punctuation, spelling or grammar will detract from the value of your work.
Perdisma Edits can help you avoid mistakes that could cost you dear.
WHAT WE DO
Perdisma Edits offer a range of services, from simple proofreading to creative editing.
Copy editing
A careful reading of the text to remove any grammatical, typographical or punctuation errors.
Final see-through
A thorough read-through of the entire text to pick up any errors which may have been overlooked.
Creative editing
A considered reading of the text with suggestions as to how it may be improved or amended. Includes tips on structure and presentation.
Publishing support
if you choose to publish independently, we can advise on placing the work with Amazon, Smashwords, or other platforms.
We can also put you in touch with cover designers, illustrators and website builders.
“I like your notes and attention to detail. You GET that dialogue can be regional, and you make the story and characters come first. I’ve interviewed a few editors, and all of them attacked the prose in a much too cold and technical manner for my taste. You seem to understand my writing. I feel like finding a good editor is like finding a long-lost friend. Let’s move forward, friend.”
