You write it. We refine it.
At Magnifico Manuscripts, we believe editing should be an interactive, collaborative process where writer and editor work as one. We’re dedicated to maintaining your style of writing and focusing on your goals, while assuring your work is polished and precise. You’ll find we work efficiently, provide thorough and detailed comments, and offer cost-effective pricing.
In most cases, we use the Chicago Manual of Style as our primary reference guide for manuscripts, the Associated Press Stylebook for business correspondence, and the AMA Manual of Style for medical textbooks and journal articles. (If you have a preferred or corporate style guide to follow, just let us know.) To ensure consistency in the editing process, Magnifico Manuscripts will create a personalized style sheet tailored to your work.
