While it's vital to the assignment process to know a manuscript's genre, it can be just as crucial to understand the type and degree of help an author/manuscript really requires. Each of our editors has one or more areas of specialization, so the more you can tell us about your specific concerns the better we can do at matching you with an editor who'll best meet your particular needs.

Some of the areas in which our editors specialize include plot/structure, dialogue, book proposals, short stories, mentoring, books for young readers, and sentence-level correction, to name just a few. All our editors are experienced professionals but each of them has his or her particular areas of focus and strength, and we take this into account when assigning projects.

Many of our editors also specialize in the style of feedback they provide. This may range from phone conversations to detailed written memoranda, from outlines to notes made in the electronic document itself.

Rest assured that whatever kind of help you need, from concept development to fixing mechanical errors, we'll do our best to match you with the editor we feel can help you the most. If you'd like to tell us more about your project and your needs  please visit our New Client Questionnaire.  Or you can contact Ross Browne or Jane Ryder at the Tucson office directly.
