Manuscript Format & Editing
It is important that your manuscript is formatted correctly in readiness for printing.
You can choose to engage us to edit and critique your work but mostly, authors come to us with their work ready to be printed and have already proofread and checked for spelling and grammatical issues.
At the point at which your manuscript arrives with us, it is not expected to undergo further amendments to the content.
Nevertheless, we understand that sometimes, when the proof copy is seen and read, it is necessary to make some adjustments before the very final version is approved. We include in our price the ability to make one set of adjustments/amendments.
As an author, you want to really impress your potential readers. An easy way to deter them however, is slipping up on the basics. Having a second pair of eyes is invaluable, particularly when it comes to grammar, spelling and punctuation. Marmalade can assist you here, making sure that your manuscript is tight.
This can sometimes be an expensive process, however, at Marmalade we want to the best for our clients and offer a selection of value for money options.
Marmalade offer a Fast Proofreading service, which will focus on key parts of the book such as the beginning of chapters, as well as the beginning and end of the book, but also skim generally, looking for the most obvious errors. This is particularly useful for Amazon, because prospective readers will read out the free preview before deciding to proceed.
