Here are the categories in which Pennefeather Editorial Services can work for you:

Developmental editing: Review an early draft of your text and offer advice on how

you might revise it for publication and position it to interest a publisher. This sort

of work can be done on screen, with comments typed directly into the document,

or on paper, with a memo outlining suggestions.

Copy-editing: Polish your near-final text to fix any grammatical errors, make

consistent the use of subheadings, proper nouns, and numbers, and smooth any

infelicitous sentences. Such work is done on screen, using Microsoft Word's tracking

feature. Computer-savvy clients may prefer to review suggestions and make decisions

regarding them on screen; others may choose to review comments on paper and

leave the clean-up to me.

Proofreading: Just a step away from the final product, carefully read proof pages for

typos, consistent type treatment, accurate line breaks, and assorted other niggling

details. Rapid turnaround to meet publishers' deadlines.
