WHAT TYPES OF MANUSCRIPTS CAN WE HELP WITH?

 

Whether you are an aspiring playwright, a seasoned author, or are a beginning novelist, let BAB Reviews help by providing manuscript editing services (copy editing/proofreading, critical/editorial reviews) for your latest projects:

 

• Novels, novellas, and short stories

• Plays and screenplays

• Poems and collections of poetry

• General nonfiction (memoirs, biography, self-help, etc.)

• Chapters or passages of longer fiction and nonfiction works

 

Our Manuscript Editing Services combine developmental editing and copy editing to improve your draft by cleaning up your writing structure, grammar and punctuation, so that you can concentrate on the creative process. 

 

For fiction, we look closely at plot, characterization, dialogue, and other elements. For nonfiction, we look at the support for your arguments, the organization of your manuscript, and the clarity of your prose. And for manuscripts of any genre, we review your writing for stylistic and mechanical issues, ensuring consistency and providing constructive feedback.
