Professional Editing Service

You’ve finished a short story, novelette, novella, or novel, but you need help to polish your work for submission or self-publication. Or perhaps your work isn’t getting accepted or selling with consistency and you want that extra edge.

What you need is an editor who will teach you how to self-edit your work.

I’ve been a professional writer, editor, and publisher in various industries for over 30 years. Besides being the editor and publisher at Dark Cloud Press, I’m a published writer. With a BA in English and an MA in fiction writing, I can give your manuscript the attention it deserves:

Story critique
Stylistic suggestions
Proofreading
Copy editing
Comprehensive line editing

Editing consists of a careful reading of your manuscript to determine the best wording, proper usage, accuracy of content, and other details to improve your work, plus comments and suggestions for improvement. A manuscript format check also is included. Every edited manuscript includes a cover letter with general comments in addition to the manuscript notes and mark-up.

For more information, contact Lee directly.

Thank you for the professional and timely work on my manuscript. The substantive edit added to the structure and content of the novel while the line edit correctly punctuated the piece and substituted precise words and phrases for lesser ones. I vigorously recommend Lee Allen Howard’s Professional Editing Service to anyone who writes.
