BOOK EDITING SERVICES

Does Your Book Meet the Exclusive BRIO 5-Point Standard for Success?

We work with many New York publishers and editors who tell us they assess a manuscript's potential based on answers to two obvious questions: Is it marketable? Is it good?

BRIO wants you to sell more books and excellent editing is the foundation of a solid manuscript. We have a 5-Point Standard for evaluation. We review and score based on:

1. Intended Audience (reading level, style, tone)
2. Literary Devices (metaphors and similes, foreshadowing, repetition)
3. Character Development
4. Dialogue and Narrative Flow
5. Description (use of imagery, setting)

If you are still unsure whether you need our editing services, ask yourself these three questions: Has a professional editor evaluated my manuscript? Have I verified my facts and references? Is it original work?

If you answered "no" to any of the above, fill out our quick
form at right for a free consultation or simply
call 888-333-7979.
