With more than 35 combined years in the professional editing business, we care about what you write. First and foremost, we are readers. We love to read a wide variety of genres from people of all backgrounds and all reading levels. We've worked in libraries, for universities, publishers, literary agents, and both professional and amateur authors. Our #1 priority is polishing the author's original voice so that the reader experiences the text as the author intends.
We work with authors throughout their project and beyond. We believe in maintaining communication with all of our authors during the editing process, and we want to know how you're doing when your work reaches your readers.
We are expanding and on the lookout for talent. Please contact us with your vita and portfolio at careers@sharperquill.com. We need folks who specialize in every kind of editing and proofreading (various styles such as APA and Chicago), as well as book design for CreateSpace and other on demand publishers and all eBook formats. Applicants who use Adobe Cloud are preferred.
