Discover the many ways we can help you in publishing.

Parallax Consultancy’s publishing services complement its core services of proofreading, editing and writing to give you complete support.

Pre-press

We help trade publishers, small presses, magazines and others with our
core services of proofreading, editing and (re)writing. We also cater for
additional pre-press needs and can create or develop house styles.

Parallax Consultancy – quality is our priority.

Self-publishing

Use our proofreading, editing and pre-press publishing services, and those under books and manuscripts. Get professional support throughout self-publishing and avoid having unprofessional work published.

Remember: you’re in control – we adapt to suit your needs.

Non-fiction and Fiction

Non-fiction

Non-fiction primarily conveys information and we will:

• proofread your text for mistakes
• edit your text to give it clarity
• appraise your book (with our technical author's input)
• analyse content, presentation and how illustrations work with text
• check additional matter such as references
• help you communicate to your readership appropriately.

So send us your manuscript and we’ll give you initial feedback.

Fiction

One writer said our “overriding concern was not pedantic adherence to rules of punctuation or grammar, but for consistency in these as an important
component of a writer's style”. Our fiction editing helps you be consistent.

Develop characterisation, dialogue, point of view and much more. Receive help in finding publishing outlets and writing cover letters for submissions.

Read classic short stories to the right and top tips for fiction writing.

Books and Manuscripts

• Book Planning – to make the writing process efficient.
• Manuscript Appraisal – to help your redraft.
• Manuscript Critiques – to identify strengths, weakness and limitations.
  
• Development Editing – to improve your content.
• Book Reviews – to analyse and promote your book.

Use Parallax to make your work nothing less than its best.

Commissions

You can commission us to write an article, review, guide, report, book or other text for you. Using our research services means no boundaries to subject matter. For example, we wrote a report to introduce cine enthusiasts to cinematography (The Development of Cine Film for Home Use). View some screenshots below, and read the contents page and introduction.

It’s an informative but interesting report that’s given me a great insight into cine film and motivated me to pursue my interest further. It’s written and presented in a very clear way and the images work well.
Fascinating stuff.

Ghostwriting

We can write for you under your name. This can be for short stories, novels, biographies or memoirs so we write fiction and non-fiction.

Parallax Consultancy – we’ll write and edit; you’ll get the credit.
