EDITORS WORKING FOR YOU
A great editor is the person who can take a modest story and make it big, broad and powerful. There are those editors who take big stories and make them small. But the great editor is one who pushes a writer to widen a story’s scope or one who recognizes an impact in the story that the writer might not have seen initially.
​
AllWorld Publishing uses seasoned editors with a proven track record. Not just promises on a website or told to writers by a "chat" person on line. Our editors' credentials are available and backed by past performance and expertise. Along these lines, your book will be processed through three major steps:
-
editorial assessment: to examine a portion of your work (typically the first chapter or about 1,700 words) and provide you with a specific sample edit. This edit includes changes you can make to improve your book as well as a general overview of your manuscript with constructive comments for improvement.
-
line edit: to catch grammar, spelling, punctuation, capitalization, syntax, and word choice errors; and
-
content edit: in an effort to monitor the consistency of information and ideas throughout the whole book. This is especially helpful to ensure that nonfiction books communicate a clear and consistent message.
​
All three types of editing are done in constant consultation with the writer, not just to seek approval, but to gain knowledge and perspective, both of which will be ultimately applied to the production phase of the publication.
​
AllWorld Publishing's commitment to our writers goes beyond the original language of the book and encompasses editors in foreign languages. In fact, our translators and editors apply localization (the art of preparing the work for your geographical target audience) and cross-culturalization to all of the work that is processed for public distribution. The best part is that we have been doing this type of work in-house for over 24 years. That goes beyond our competitors--who usually contact us for the globalization of their books and publications--and makes translation an extension of your book by association.
