“A word is dead
When it is said,
Some say.
I say it just
Begins to live
That day.”
- Emily Dickinson, “1212”

Services
Scripta Edits will help you communicate with your readers, no matter what stage of writing you are in. We edit existing content of all lengths and can assist in writing original content for all applications.
Author-Focused Editing
Author-focused editing recognizes that sometimes no pre-appointed approach is ideal. Traditional style guides may not work best if you're considering self-publishing, or if building your brand is the top priority. While publishing houses prescribe the rules their authors must follow, self-publishing allows an author full autonomy in choices of style. Scripta utilizes author-focused editing to pinpoint the individual writer's primary goals and works to build a cohesive style guide that is fully customized to the author's preference.
Content Editing
The hard work of putting your thoughts on paper is complete. You’ve bared your soul, but need to have it edited before putting it out for the world to read. You need an editor, and not just a quick look by someone. Scripta Edits offers over a decade of editing experience working in the professional publishing sphere. Every element will be analyzed line by line: spelling, grammar, diction, syntax, logic and style. Suggestions for edits will be electronically marked for your acceptance. By the end of the process, you can rest assured that your authentic voice will be heard by your readers, unencumbered by mistakes or concerns.
Friendly Edits
A service exclusively ours, this is the type of feedback you would expect from a neighbor who was a professional in their field. Send Scripta anything you’ve got—website content, a social media post, blog entries, articles for your employer’s publication—and we’ll look it over. All errors will be found and addressed and you will receive written feedback in a flash. This may be a last stop before hitting “post” or “publish”, or it could be a first stop for a longer document you are starting, but want to make sure you set out on the right foot. Fast turn-around time is a key here, and you’ll get it.
Proofreading
This granular level analysis of your work ensures that even the smallest punctuation point earns its place in your piece. Mistakes happen to all of us, and the focus of this service is to root out clear errors, primarily found spelling, grammar, punctuation, and word processing. Proofreading does not address areas of logic or style, and only serious issues of syntax and diction will be discovered. From the smallest web content and shiniest mailers to lengthy book submissions, make sure your audience takes you as seriously as they should by eliminating mistakes, ensuring that all eyes stay on your work, not your mistakes.
Writing Services
Do you have a story to tell, but you’re just not sure how to say it? With a long history of publication, there is no question that Scripta has the ability to use words to reach people. From letters to journals, essays to books, we can help shape your thoughts into the written document you are looking for. Let us help you communicate to your fullest potential by putting our experience to work for you.
