Editing Services

The utmost objective of an author is to convey the message to the readers but sometimes due to a lack of consistency in language and style, a book might not create the desired impression on readers, and its essence might get lost. The key-difference between a best seller and the rest is often the proper construction and presentation of engaging content. Editing is a time-consuming and labor-intensive process that requires a specialist.
Even a good writer always requires another person or experts to go through the text in order to review the work. Another set of eyes can easily identify the errors which the author does not see as a flaw. The perspective of an expert helps in enhancing the diction and content without changing the essence of the book, thereby enhancing its readability and adding to its professionalism.
Here at Rushail Publications we offer the services of experts whose knowledge and wisdom powerfully creates an impactful proofreading in order to maximize the book’s readability. We follow The Chicago Manual of Style that is a time-tested guide to style, usage, and grammar in the publishing world. It is among the most widely used reference for authors, editors, proofreaders, indexers, and publishers.

The success of an author lies in the flawless language used in creation and completion of his/her works. According to a recent poll has been found that 52% of the readers prefer reading a book that has good language and minimal grammatical errors. A book may be very good and engaging but a single has the power to the image of an author forever. But it does not mean that one cannot jot down their thoughts without a strong command over the language. As an author you write and we as a professional will ensure you to offer the help a work required to be perfect. Our tenured editors will fix inconsistencies, grammar, spelling (UK or US), and punctuation issues in the manuscript while also checking for redundancies to get your book into the best possible shape for your reading audience. All edits will be tracked so that you can either accept them or reject them. We have copyedited manuscripts in English, Tamil, Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam so far, and have an efficient team to do expansion of copy-editing services in other languages.
Note: Do not mistake this service for substantive editing or ghostwriting.

Copy Editing Services Includes:

Spelling – We check spelling along with checking spelling errors (US or UK).

Grammar –we provide an all-round grammar check, usage of tenses, verbs, and all parts of speech in your text are in place.

Punctuation – We make sure that you are not misunderstood due to punctuation errors.

Sentence Structure – Consistency in sentences, checking too long or too short sentences, ambiguity, redundancies, and the improper arrangement of phrases and words are some of the areas we focus upon while we streamline sentence structure in the manuscript.

Consistent Format – We make sure that footnotes, headers, indentation, paragraphs, photo-captions, capitalization, font type, and font size are consistent throughout the text.

This level of service takes a bird’s-eye view of the overall structure, organization, and presentation of the text. The level of intervention goes beyond paragraphs to entire sections. The editing tasks remain the same, but the focus is on the forest rather than on the trees, and the editing priorities are adjusted accordingly.

We offer this service to perfect an impeccable work and our entire focus during the process remains on catching and rectifying the surface errors in written language that are rarely expected to go beyond grammar, punctuation, and spelling. If you are already satisfied with the quality of your writing, then you will find proofreading to be a more appropriate service suited to your needs rather than a full-fledged editing service.

Due to rigid formatting standards and minute-detailing, indexing is one of the most taxing processes of book writing. It often emerges as an obstacle in your way of becoming a writer. In indexing, we work to ensure that every topic or section has relevant index entries. We also strive to understand the target audience of the book to know the entries likely to be searched for in the index. We can adhere to standard indexing conventions or follow any author-requested convention. Some of the areas where we can give our expert guidance regarding creating an index are:

·         The appropriate time to start creating the index.

·         How to avoid deviating from your main subject?

·         Maintaining an appropriate size of the index.

·         The appropriate number of columns that should be added in an index.

·         The correct way to do the numbering of pages opposite index words.

·         How to use headers in an index?
