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. |
