Books

It is important for your book manuscript to stand out in the highly competitive world of publishing; to be excellent in form as well as content. Yet you are too close to your project to do justice to the editing process, and you will most likely not be objective. A professional book editor can recognize the repetitions, inconsistencies, faulty logic, and other problems that are often overlooked by the writer and ensure that your manuscript makes an excellent impression with the receiving acquisition editor, agent, or publisher.

While there are no guarantees—the publishing industry can be ruthless indeed, especially for emerging writers—we can guarantee that our expert editors can help you better your chance of publication.

Our team has extensive experience editing book projects. We have edited manuscripts that went on to become award winning books, for example, The Change Artist, an absolutely brilliant book, that has been recognized as such, by author Carla Rieger.

In the acknowledgements, Dr. Cohen writes, “Thanks to Gerda Wever of the Write Room and the Write Room Press in Burnaby, British Columbia, for her excellent advice and impeccable and on-time copy editing assistance.” We have also worked on book manuscripts from beginning to end on books that were published by our own press, some of which were books by international scholars.

The editors at the Write Room were very accurate, professional and timely.  They kept me on track with my manuscript.  The advice and recommendations were constructive and they were able to work with my ideas to create an amazing result.  I would highly recommend them for all your editing requirements.  If you want to work with people who will be able to give you criticism in a professional manner and assist in bringing your vision to light then you must call The Write Room."
