PRE-PUBLICATION SERVICES
Before you send your manuscript off to a publisher, you’ll want to be sure it’s in the best possible shape. And when it is finally ready for submission, you need to be armed with a winning query letter and synopsis to get your work the attention it deserves. Don’t leave anything to chance. With EME’s Pre-Publication Services, you’ll benefit from the work of top-notch professionals who have been successful in getting manuscripts published. They’ll respond to your unique needs with just the services you choose.
MANUSCRIPT ASSESSMENT. You may not need the work—and expense—of a full edit. With EME, you won’t be forced into more than you need. Whether your manuscript is completed or just barely begun, you can submit it to one of our experienced professionals for a critical review. At the end of the assessment process, you’ll get back a report detailing the strengths and weaknesses of your manuscript, with a set of recommendations for how you can improve your work. Best of all, it will come at a fraction of the cost of editing your text.
PRE-PUBLICATION PACKAGES. Whether they’re writing academic, fiction, or nonfiction books, most authors find the publication process daunting. Even a great manuscript can get overlooked if it arrives at the publisher’s office with a query letter or synopsis that fails to inspire. Why not leave these matters in the hands of the experts? With the EME Pre-Publication Package, you’ll get a thorough assessment of your manuscript’s weaknesses and strengths, a set of recommendations for how you can improve the work, and one of our highly-qualified professionals will write your query letter and synopsis for you! Still at a fraction of the cost of editing your work, this package of services will enable you to approach publishers with the confidence that comes from knowing you’ve got experts behind you.
MANUSCRIPT FORMATTING. Perhaps you’ve written an academic work, but just aren’t confident about all the details of APA style—headings, margins, spacing, in-text citations, the Reference List. Maybe you’ve written a book that’s supposed to be formatted according to the Chicago Manual of Style. Or it could be a play that’s got a great plot and believable dialogue, but you’re not quite sure how it should be laid out on the page. Maybe you’re afraid that your novel won’t get the attention it deserves because you don’t know all of the details of standard manuscript formatting. Or perhaps you’re working with a Print-On-Demand publisher and you need to get your book into camera-ready form. In all of these cases (and more), there’s no need to pay for a full edit of the manuscript when it’s just the formatting that needs attention. EME offers you the possibility of having an expert format your work for you. And if your publisher has guidelines of its own, just send those along and your EME editor will implement those as well … at no additional charge!
