Editing
Our editing packages are our most popular service. We take pride in treating your manuscript as if it were our own to ensure it is not only something that our clients are happy with, but the readers who read their masterpieces as well. We believe that aside from the actual writing process, editing is the next most important step that should not be skipped. It is important to know that there are different types of editing that serve different purposes, and even the most well known authors have their work professionally edited. Here at Lioness Vizions LLC. we believe that your project is your baby. Our goal is not to change your story, or the voice of your story, but to enhance your vision and help you share your dreams with the world.
Assessment – The assessment package is required prior to beginning any other editing packaging. We do not read the full manuscript in this package, just the first 1,500 words. We do this so that our staff of editors can gain an idea of which editing package your particular manuscript needs, the correct editor for your project and offer a few constructive suggestions to help your manuscript flow as fluidly as possible. After the completion of your editorial assessment package you will receive a sample edit. This will also ensure that you will be satisfied with our services prior to paying for our other services. The average turnaround time for an editorial assessment is two weeks.
