Services

We provide quality editing for Urban, Erotic & Street Literature Authors. 

Traditional editing companies do not always know how to properly edit specific genre's of fiction if they are not immersed in the specific culture.  We know that sometimes, grammatical errors are intentional and all verbage does not have traditional meanings. In order to provide the reader with a "real life" look into the mind of the author, some words and references are fundamental in keeping the proper tone. 

Here are some examples:

In urban fiction, the words- ain't, nigga, trippin', etc. may be intentional and acceptable. A traditional service would refuse those words and change them, possibly changing the tone and intent of the author.

In erotic lifestyle fiction, when referencing the Dom / sub situation from the sub's view point, we know that any references the sub makes to them self would be in lowercase letters and reference to the Dom will always be capitalized. Traditional services would not do this.  

 

 

  • Heavy Editing

    Ensure consistency in all mechanical matters- spelling, capitalization, punctuation, hyphenation, abbreviations, format of lists, etc. Optional Guideline: Allow deviation from house style if the author consistently uses acceptable variants.  Check contents page against chapters; check numbering of footnotes or end notes, tables or figures.  Correct all errors in grammar, syntax and usage.  Rewrite any patches wordy or convoluted patches.  Ask for or supply terms likely to be new to readers.  Verify and revise any facts that are incorrect.  Query or fix any facts that are faulty in logic. Note any text, tables or illustrations that may require permission to reprint.
