Alex Melone not only did a fantastic job line editing our book but spent additional time on the phone with questions we had. Nick May spent countless hours (for a reasonable set fee!) formatting both digital and print version to our perfection and it looks beautiful. Highly recommend TypeRight Editing services.
Nick May was my editor at Typeright and he did a wonderful job of making my novella more concise. He also caught potential plot holes; my beta-readers unfortunately did not! Nick was timely and accessible. He also taught me writing techniques that I plan to apply to my future manuscripts. I will definitely use Typeright for my future books!
I have used many copy-editing, proofreading companies so far. TypeRight was the WORST... When I complaint, the manager said he/she didn't understand my frustration, saying that they"ONLY proofread documents that have ALREADY been professionally edited". Why would I need copy-editing, if a document has been professionally edited? The manager also said" proofread will catch ONE or TWO errors per page." Haha... There are many other copy-editing, proofreading companies to try. I would NOT use TypeRight.
Answer: Hi Tom, Thanks for reaching out. We have several editors who have experience with editing young adult manuscripts. If you send a copy of the document (or a portion of it) to us, we can look it over and see which editor is the right fit for the specific content in your book. Best, Jane Murphy Staff Manager at TypeRight
Answer: Hey Jeff! 1. We offer four types of editing: proofreading, copy editing, line editing, and developmental editing. Our fees are based on the number of words. 2. The business itself has no official affiliation. 3. We don't have a fee sheet! Check out our pricing on our homepage to determine the cost for your project. Best, Jane
There seems to be some miscommunication here: the client ordered a copy edit, and our editor made more than 1,000 changes to the 4,300-word academic document. Many changes were to improve fluency, as the author was a non-native English speaker. Despite the numerous changes we made (and I should note that the client did not find any errors in our edit), the client wrote to complain that the copy edit looked more like a proofread. We responded by clarifying that "proofreading" in the publishing world is defined as the last editing pass before publishing, which naturally takes place after a line edit or copy edit. We also asked for any examples of errors that the client found so that we could work toward a resolution. The client immediately left this review has not responded to us since.
