Proofreading & Editing
Proofreading and editing are easily among the top 5 expenses for self-published authors. This can strain most authors' limited budgets, pushing them to shortcuts and tricks that ultimately undermine the integrity and professionalism of their work.
However, regardless of the cost, any serious writer should invest in another set of eyes to review their work before publishing. And because our aim and passion are to support writers, MGC offers quality, affordable proofreading, line, developmental, and copy editing services for all genres.
Although our rates are significantly below the industry average, you can expect insightful feedback and (depending on the size of your manuscript) quick turnaround times. Contact us about your needs for a quick quote.
