McNair Edits
Here's the deal. My name's Don McNair, and I've been a
professional editor for more than 40 years. I’ll edit your
manuscript, correcting things you may have been doing wrong
your whole writing career. Areas will include appearance,
hooks, plot, motivation, dialogue, setting, point of view,
research, conflict, voice, and more.
But--just as important--I’ll also edit weak verb forms, strip
away author intrusions, identify character filters, ban
redundancies, eliminate foggy phrases, correct passive voice
sentences, slash misused and overused words, and correct
other writing bugaboos. These are all problems an editor or
agent won't tell you about. But they could keep you from being
published!
If you wish, I’ll edit only your first chapter (up to 25 pages) and
provide you a completely edited and annotated version, plus
another version in which all the suggested changes have been
made. I’ll also include a detailed, 4-6 page letter identifying your
specific problems and their solutions. This will be a major
education, tailored to help you identify and overcome specific,
personal writing challenges found in your whole manuscript...
and in your writing in general. When you apply this new
knowledge to the rest of your book you'll immediately make it a
better read.
Ready for me to get to work? Just e-mail your first chapter
as an attachment. Please format it as a MS Word.doc (or .docx)
or .rtf file, double-spaced in 12 pt. Courier New or New Times
Roman font. I’ll get back to you to discuss rates and timeframe. I
look forward to working with you!

Note: My editing your manuscript is no guarantee that a publisher will want to buy it. Such decisions, unfortunately, are often based on factors unrelated to writing quality. |
