Reworking or Completing a Manuscript

Paige Wright Books works with aspiring authors to help them produce manuscripts for publication that are commercially viable and serve the author's objectives for the book.

Following a full manuscript review, if we feel a project has merit, we will enter into an agreement with you to form a writing partnership to revise or complete the manuscript. Depending on the nature of your content, we will select an appropriate editorial partner who has some experience and/or background knowledge in your field. As we are discussing the scope of the manuscript revision we will have a strategic conversation about your goals for the book so that we are in agreement as to the intended audience, the point of entry into the market, and the voicing.

You will own the intellectual property to any work that is produced by our firm. We will convey the copyright to you in writing upon payment in full for the professional services that have been rendered.

Technical requirements:

We require a copy of the manuscript in Word or another word processing program that will allow us to exchange drafts via email. If you are a person who prefers to dictate your book, we are experienced in this approach and will accommodate your preference.

We will ask you to sign a document indicating that all of the content you are contributing to the manuscript is original and that you have not incorporated material into the draft that is someone else's intellectual property (words or images) unless you have obtained permission from the other person. If at any point in the writing process we discover plagiarism in the documents you have supplied, all of your material will be returned to you and our relationship will terminate immediately regardless of the state of completion of the project. We have a zero tolerance policy on plagiarism.
