EDITING SERVICES BY PRIMO
Hire Our Editorial Team to Bring to Life Your Written Work
We Cultivate Your Stories, Articles, Books, Novels and Plays

Your writing style is perfected, not rejected, at PRIMO.

We know well how all writers are not the same. At PRIMO, we embrace diversity. We accept different ways of expression. We celebrate new voices.

Our mission continues with editorial services, now available to all writers.

The goal at PRIMO is to make your work the best, possible; your way, your style.

We spurn draconian methods. Ours is not the way of other editors who rewrite manuscripts according to their specific means of expression. Substance is lost when they reword whole paragraphs. They dismantle the unique style of the writer. Gone is the initial appeal of the article. The distinctive voice of the author is sacrificed at the altar of stern and uncompromising guidelines.
We, at PRIMO, take a different approach.

We improve your work without strict uniformity in expression. Writing is personal. How you express your observations, ideas, thoughts and experiences define your identity. Our goal is preservation. We will work with you, not against you. We ensure your manuscript will retain your unique way of phraseology with proper grammar, correct spelling and immediate coherence. At PRIMO, your style is to be perfected, not rejected.

PRIMO provides the following editing services:

Proofreading
Copy Editing
Manuscript Editing
Fact Checking
Ghost Writing

Proofreading
Spelling and grammatical errors doom all manuscripts. Thorough proofreading is a must. Your every word in every sentence must closely be reviewed for accurate revision. We may charge by the word or by the page, depending on the length of the manuscript. Please contact the editor to discuss our proofreading services at potompub@aol.com.

Copy Editing
A step above proofreading is copy editing. The focus is on the lucidity of your text, in tandem with proper grammar and correct spelling. Pricing is based on each word or page with discounts available. Please contact the editor to discuss our copy editing process at potompub@aol.com.

Manuscript Editing
The writer is the player, and the editor is the coach. That’s the best way to describe manuscript editing. Feedback is essential. Manuscript editing takes longer because of the mentoring process. The customer will utilize the in-depth experience of the editor to ensure his or her manuscript is the best, possible. The approach of the editorial team is vital. Again, our mission is to retain your style. More time and effort will be utilized for manuscript editing than for copy editing and proofreading. Please contact the editor to discuss your manuscript at potompub@aol.com.

Fact Checking
Incorrect information will destroy your composition. The prospective audience will not forgive mistakes in history, geography and basic science. The writer is considered an expert. Factual errors undermine his credibility. We will make an in-depth review of information presented in your composition. The goal is to ensure that all facts are accurate in your manuscript. Our fact checking services may stand alone or can be added to manuscript editing. Please contact contact the editor about fact checking your work at potompub@aol.com.

Ghost Writing
You have the plot and characters for a great novel. Or, perhaps, you have a unique experience to share with the world. Or, better yet, you want to relay the great attributes of a family member or close friend. For years, you have wanted to put pen to paper to entertain, inform and enlighten. Yet, you just can’t find the right words to tell the story you have in mind. You’re not alone. The development of prose is a challenging task for most people who are not professional writers. Authorship takes time. Hiring a ghost writer is the best option for the storyteller, memoirist and biographer not yet proficient in prose. The ghost writer is an interviewer, text creator and editor, all rolled into one. He is the phantom wordsmith who helps you get published. At the end of the process, the book is your property. You are the author. The ghost writer remains in the shadows. To discuss the cost to hire Truby Chiaviello as your ghost writer, please email him at potompub@aol.com.
