Our Services

Why hire an editor? Because the words we choose (and how they're strung together) can stand between us and our dream job, our ideal client, an award, or a publishing deal. Essentially, our greatest successes.

Up Style Editing professional copyediting services can help you broaden your potential and achieve your goals by partnering with you to communicate effectively, creatively, and consistently—all while maintaining your authentic voice. 

​

Hiring an editor can feel like a daunting task. In non-fiction, the question is often, "Is it worth the cost?" In fiction, the position is more vulnerable: "Am I a good writer?" The answers are yes, and yes! In fact, Edith Mirrielees, the late Stanford professor and mentor to John Steinbeck, stated that good writing doesn't have a "secret formula" and isn't something that can be taught directly. However, she believed that writing could be improved with help.

Colleagues and collaborators describe our editing style as empathetic, transparent, and highly-organized. Our approach to editing is careful, flexible, and conscious. Our process allows you to sample our editing services before committing to entrusting us with your full project. The results you want are guaranteed by either accepting or rejecting our changes and suggestions.
