Inspiration for Writers, Inc.: Edit and Critique

Our approach to editing varies depending upon your goals. For example, if you’ve written a memoir, plan to self-publish, and never want to write again, our goal as your editor is to make you look good by making all corrections for you. However, if you want to begin a career as a writer, we’re going to become your writing coach and encourage, teach, and correct in equal parts. Instead of just telling you what is wrong, we explain how to correct the problem, and we teach you how to write effective prose.

We use the Microsoft Word Tracking Feature on electronic submissions to mark editing suggestions and to embed comments into the document. This allows you to automatically accept or reject any or all suggestions without retyping them. And if you’re not familiar with this tool, don’t worry! We’ll include step-by-step instructions, and we’re always just a phone call away.

We strongly believe the writer/editor relationship must be a partnership, which is why we take extra time in matching our editors to each individual writer based upon genre, writing level, goals, and personality. We also provide a free sample edit so the writer can see our quality and personality before any money changes hands. And we remain available to our writers as long as they need us. We don’t succeed unless you do.

And we want to succeed. Email us today.
