Manuscript Submission Services

Services

A lot of writers would rather concentrate on the creative process than the business of writing. We understand that it takes a lot of time and energy to submit works and then wait for responses. If you request our services, we will provide you with detailed reports of which works are submitted to specific publications and all responses received.

  • Query letters and proposals tailored for publications
  • Manuscript formatting to publication requirements
  • Database tracking of all submissions and responses
  • Detailed monthly reports with every billing statement

Remember that even with a submission service, you might have to handle phone calls or specific questions from publishers.

Freelance Writing Services

From short stories to custom Web content, consider our freelance writing service. We have been asked to write technical manuals, novel chapters, and newspaper columns.

  • Proven research abilities in a variety of fields
  • Fast turn-around to help you meet deadlines
  • Flexible billing by the hour or by the page
  • Confidential assignments accepted (ghostwriting)

We look forward to working with you!
