Swift and True Services for Indie Authors!
Editing Services
The most important thing every indie author needs is a team of outstanding editors. The #1 complaint readers have against indie novels when compared to traditionally published books is the technical quality is poor. Too often, the frequency of these errors ruins the enjoyment of an otherwise great story.
So you can rest assured your book is receiving the best quality review, you are entitled to a FREE 2000-word trial of any part of your manuscript. We recommend sending something from the middle of your book to see just how much our services can help; the beginning and end often in the best shape and can give writers a false sense of security that the entire work is just as polished.
But of course, we know the main reason indie authors skimp on the editing is the price. That is the reason we not only offer some of the best pricing in the industry, but we also offer unique payment plans! Most editors require you to commit the entire novel to them. Not Swift and True Media. For those on a tight budget, we offer our service in 10,000 word increments.
