PAUL BAGDON assists novice writers to prepare manuscripts for publishing
as well as authors who want a second pair of eyes to proofread and/or review
their books.

Services are negotiated based on the extent of the work needed.

MANUSCRIPT REVIEW

This includes a critical reading of your manuscript beyond grammar and
spelling. Your work will receive an assessment of all aspects of your writing to
include character development, conflict, dialogue, or narrative. I’ll be frank
and tell you if there are problems. I’ll offer recommendations for
improvements. You’ll receive your manuscript pages back in hard copy with
marks, as well as a detailed and personalized report.

EDITING

Editing services include editing for content, copyediting and proofreading.
Content editing is an intensive process which includes looking for
improvements in imagery, setting, foreshadowing, point of view,
characterization, dialogue, context, plot and readability to match your
audience. In nonfiction documents, things such as: format and layout, tone,
clarity, structure and organization are analyzed. Copyediting seeks to find
problems with organization,

coherence, redundancy, word
usage, syntax, and sentence and
paragraph structure.
Proofreading seeks typographical
errors, spelling and grammar
checks and punctuation. These
are edits that may not be caught
by a word processor.
