Plan Ahead and Schedule Early

Contact us well in advance of when you want to publish. You don't want to be searching for an opening at the last minute. We schedule months in advance and available slots fill quickly.

Expect your full-length manuscript to be in the editing process a minimum of three to four weeks and up to eight for editing and proofreading, allowing us to do our best work for you.

Editing with Style.
Editing for Style.
Refining our Style.

“As a literary editor, one who performs both copy and line edits, when I sit down to begin work on a manuscript, I attempt to look at the story through the eyes of a reader while still striving to follow essential grammar rules. With the perspicacity of a reader, I am confident others will have a pleasant reading experience after I have completed the process. Your storytelling abilities and my rules-based editing style is all the assurance you need to be certain your readers will have a pleasurable reading experience. We edit your words, your writing, your sentences, and paragraphs . . . but never your voice.” —Rogena Mitchell-Jones

Two editors, two red pens, and a little red ink . . .

Colleen Snibson and Rogena Mitchell-Jones are now offering a special package of editing and proofreading for those who appreciate one final check for anything missed before publishing. They each still offer individual copy/line editing, but now you can have two literary copy editors performing both the copy edit and the final proofread.

If you intend to fly, you must let go of all that weighs you down. Breathe. Spread your wings. And then soar. —RMJ

Where EXCELLENCE Takes PRECEDENCE. We remain focused on the ART of EDITING and teaching writers how to write appealingly perfect. We edit your words, your writing, your sentences, and paragraphs . . . but never your voice.
