real/brilliant specializes in developmental editing/substantive editing/line editing and pride ourselves on the fact that authors rely on us to smooth rough writing, to reorder paragraphs or headings, and to suggest notations for statements that seem to be only their opinion. Developmental editing is a skill reserved for editors who know books really well and who work closely with the author to understand exactly what they are trying to say with their book. Nothing fazes us, not even additions to the manuscript sent in on notecards or napkins. For further information on our developmental editing services, check here.
real/brilliant is also proud to offer manuscript organization and clean-up services for your particularly confusing manuscript. We specialize in college textbooks, multiple author books, and ESL manuscripts that need an organizational eye. From cleaning up a manuscript after an author’s review, to stripping out formatting and footnotes, to accepting all changes and applying typemarking and codes, we’ve got you covered. See here for more information on this service.
