Publishers don't emphasize editorial skills anymore. They ask the editors only to acquire manuscripts that can then go into the production process as quickly and cheaply as possible.

Why WriteContent?

Why WriteContent? Because we enjoy the challenge of making a writers material professional and marketable. WriteContent creates excellence in writing projects by emphasizing the developmental, editorial, and creative aspects in the writing process. From developing book-length manuscripts to web content, Writecontent collaborates with authors, publishers, agents, and other professionals to evaluate, consult, develop, edit, write, design, and produce written material. WriteContent also collaborates with:

• authors preparing manuscripts for print-on-demand, e-publishing, and self-publishing
• organizations and individuals developing and updating web content
• technical and business writers to create reader-friendly text
• organizations needing to develop sales and marketing materials
• organizations and individuals to develop how-to material, self-help
  material, and product reviews

With so many publishers-by passing potentially good manuscripts for "ready-to-publish" material, and smaller publishers, e-publishers, POD publishers, and web sites failing to offer traditional book editing services, it has become even more imperative for a writer to creatively collaborate with editors to develop, strengthen, and clarify his or her message for its intended market. The same applies to self-publishing. So don't sell your writing short. Do what established authors do. Use book professionals to guide you through the traditional book editing and production process.

To assist you in your writing and publishing journey, WriteContent is organized around the book publishing process, providing numerous links and resources throughout the site for easy access to services on the publishing industry. WriteContent also provides example forms, letters, procedures, and advice on writing and publishing, as well as many links dedicated to research, writing, editing, publishing, e-publishing, self-publishing, book production, printer, distributor, and editorial and production services.
