Technical Writing and Report Preparation
Whether you’re a principal investigator ready to share your findings with the scientific community, an engineering firm developing a watershed management plan, an agency seeking external funding or a contractor through grant proposals or requests for proposals, respectively; or a contractor preparing a statement of qualifications, Herder Publishing’s technical writing services has the experience to get your document over the finish line. With years of writing and editing peer-reviewed publications, planning documents, grant proposals, RFPs, and SOQs, we are ready to exceed your expectations.
Proofreading and Copy Editing
Herder Publishing’s editing services include proofreading, copy editing, and even content/developmental editing to help advance your manuscript to a polished, marketable publication.
We charge either by the hour, by finished word count – an advantage for authors as word count reduction is included in our services, or by page count, following industry standards (assuming that one page = 250 words). You’ll know what our services cost before you contract us!
While we have decades of experience and have earned regional recognition for editing quality, we are a new company with a small staff and little overhead, so you can expect quality work done on your schedule and costing you less.
Content and Developmental Editing
As you work to tell your story, we can help by adding plot and pacing review, flow enhancement, voice maintenance, character development, and interactive notes and comments. We will help you tell your story both effectively and affectively, honing your word choice, developing compelling characters, and ensuring that the only surprises your readers encounter are the ones you have engineered.
This level of editing goes far beyond sentence-level tweaks, like punctuation and grammar, although neither punctuation nor g. We will work with you to resolve structure, form, plot, and character in your manuscripts, helping you tell a story that keeps the pages turning.
We will bear your target audience in mind and assess your work relative to industry standards and expectations. We will ensure your satisfaction in taking your manuscript to the level you desire.
Audio Production
Herder Publishing voiceover narration services range from:
- Audiobook production – providing narration and audio production of your manuscript for successful submission to ACX or the publisher of your choice,
- Editing/enhancing your existing sound files to meet broadcast standards with guaranteed approval, or
- Providing turnkey audio solutions for your radio spots provided by our team of narrators and production assistants.
