What Can Red Pen Do for You?
When reading our own writing, our brains tend to see what we know should be written, even if that's not what actually appears on the page. A fresh set of expert eyes pinpoints misspellings and grammatical issues, as well as stylistic inconsistencies and ambiguities that may confuse or distract your reader. Even the best writers need good editors.
The right editor is the most valuable tool a writer can have, and good editors know that they are not the right fit for every project. The right editor is someone who knows and likes your genre, and who understands your voice and vision. We will let you know if we are not the right fit for your manuscript or screenplay, and we will understand if you feel that way about us.
You may be concerned that editing will eliminate or change your voice, but the best editing is invisible. The job of an editor is not to change the substance of your work but to polish and refine it, not to alter or eliminate your voice but to enhance it. The right editor will make you a better writer by showing you how and where your work can be improved.
Realize that any creative endeavor requires thick skin. Rejection goes with the territory. If you put your work out there for the public to see, they are going to criticize, and they won't be as nice about it as your editor will. We promise to be completely honest with you, and we won't sugar-coat our feedback, but we will be respectful and tactful. We know how hard it is to write – that's why we prefer to help other people do it! Together with you, we are a team in service to your readers. It's our job to help translate the ideas in your head clearly and effectively to your audience.
You can always count on Red Pen for Rent to have the necessary experience, flexibility, and sensitivity to recognize and cater to the needs of your particular project, and to let you know if we can't meet those needs!
