FAQs

Will I have access to my editor?

Yes. We offer a personalized service. As your partner in publication development, we are available to answer your questions throughout the editorial process. We expect to work with you!

How will changes to my submission be made, and what if I don’t like them?

We use Microsoft Word’s “Track Changes” to make editorial suggestions and you are the final decision maker. You do not have to accept any of our recommendations.

How do I know which service my manuscript needs?

Use the comparison table checklist to self-assess your manuscript’s needs. Or contact us with your questions. We'll recommend the right service for you.

Does EditEmporium guarantee that my paper will be published?

No. Getting published relies on three things:
(1) the quality of your writing (that’s your job!)
(2) the quality of presentation of your manuscript (that’s our job!).
(3) your ambition (are you self-publishing or shooting for a major publishing house?)

I need to “chop down” my paper without sacrificing any quality or anything of importance. Can you help me with that?

Yes. Timber! “Chopping down” or “word reduction” is a task we love, making your communication more cogent and more efficient.

What styles/style manuals does EditEmporium work with?

We work with APA, MLA, Chicago, AMA, and Vancouver, just to name a few.

What other services does EditEmporium provide?

EditEmporium edits many types of writing, including novels and short stories, magazine articles, handbooks and workbooks, curricula, web copy, grants, scripts, e-learning, dissertations and theses, , white papers, concept development proposals, policy documents, and screenplays, just to name a few. For more information about projects of this type, please contact us.

EditEmporium’s editors are also experienced writers with extensive portfolios. If you need custom writing, please contact us.

English is not my first language. What should I do?

First, don’t panic! Working with authors whose first language isn’t English is one of our specialties! We recognize both the linguistic and cultural challenges of working with ESL authors, and take pride in “oiling the squeaks” to make your English accurate, polished, and engaging!

What quality check does EditEmporium offer?

Each project is reviewed by two sets of eyes: Both a lead editor and an associate editor will closely read and contribute to our editorial recommendations. In this way, your project is guaranteed to receive the extensive review it deserves.
