Editorial & publishing services

We’re writers and editors and strategists and translators and proofreaders and publishers and booksellers and librarians and people who have been known, on occasion, to read style manuals recreationally. We care deeply about each stage in the creation and dissemination of good writing, literary or otherwise, from conception to production to distribution to the enlistment of a bot army to juice your stats on Goodreads. Okay, not that last one. Whether it’s a quarterly magazine or an annual report, a reading series or an exhibit catalog, a plenary address or a pitch deck, a corporate manifesto or an uncommonly wordy tote bag, we’re here to help you make it sing. 

For authors

  • Developmental editing

    Have a story to tell and only an inkling of how to put it in words? Have a sprawling draft in need of some focus? Not sure if what you have on your desk is a novel or an essay or a soap opera? We can help you with that.

  • Manuscript review & copyediting

    Nearing the finish line but not feeling confident about where you’ve placed your commas? Can’t be bothered to format to the target journal’s style guide? Need a final look before you submit or publish? We've got you.

  • Contract review & representation

    New to the sexy cutthroat world of publishing and looking for your first foothold? Overwhelmed by the legalese in your publication contract? We can help you sift through the pursuants and the hereinafters.

  • Marketing & publicity

    Need help getting the word out? Have your people talk to our people about getting the right people to put your product in front of still other people.

  • Book tour coordination

    Hitting the road? Let us put you in touch with our network of bookers and booksellers, festival organizers, local journalists, and more.

For publishers

  • Editorial services & partnerships

    See pretty much all of the above. If you’re short-staffed or out of your depth for a particular project, we can probably help.

  • Book packaging

    Need someone to do the heavy lifting for a book before you bring it out with your name on it? We’ve got plenty of experience with white-label projects.

  • Translation scouting & services

    Want us to keep an eye out on promising titles from foreign markets, or foreign publishers that might see promise in your English-language title? Let’s discuss.
