Saja employs a team of world class editorial staff with over 100 years of combined editorial experience in everything from grant writing and business proposal writing to executive reports and book editing. Upon review and acceptance of your manuscript, Saja’s editorial team will recommend the appropriate level of editing for your work.
Saja provides: Substantive Editing Services (Line Editing)
This is by far the most intensive and comprehensive form of editing available. Your project is taken and critically evaluated for structure, coherence, and organizational and logical consistency— line by line. Editors will work with writers to determine how edits should be handled. Substantive editing is a deep level edit, and it is not uncommon to remove, add or rearrange significant blocks of text to improve coherence and flow.. Authors always have the freedom to accept or reject our editors' suggestions. Substantive edits work well for authors with manuscripts that may need additional work, or are being edited for the very first time. Turnaround time on substantive edits always depends on the original condition of the manuscript and how quickly authors can work with editors to make the necessary changes
Standard Copy Editing Services
Standard copyediting services offer the same attention to detail and quality as the substantive edit, but with less emphasis on the detailed organizational picture. Saja's editors will correct grammar, style and word usage. Copy editing works well for manuscripts that have been previously edited. Turnaround time on copyediting services depends on the manuscript but is generally 7-10 working days.
Proofreading Services
Proofreading is the final editing stage that usually comes after one of the other types of edits has already taken place. Simple grammatical and spelling errors are corrected.
Proofreading will catch:
- Capitalization and punctuation issues
- General spelling and word usage issues (ex: farther/further or there/their
- Grammar and style problems such as using “7” instead of “seven”
Turnaround time for Saja's proofreading services is approximately 3-5 business days.
