Backspace Ink provides professional, top-notch editorial, book design, project management, and consulting services to authors who want to publish their books independently. We also provide editorial, book design, and project management services for publishing companies that need help with their in-house book projects. If other projects need editing, such as text for a website, we will work with subcontractors or the author to achieve a high level of professionalism. Authors retain complete control throughout the production process and of the finished product, and own all electronic files we prepare for them. We receive no compensation from the sale of books we help produce. We do as little or as much as our clients ask us to do. During the production process, we will make suggestions, but the author will always make the final decisions. Authors are encouraged to participate at a comfortable level and we will do the rest! |
Joanne Shwed The act of reading should be subliminal—from the printed word to thoughts in your head. A reader should be transported to another place and time, understand the text easily, and feel the emotions the author has shared. A manuscript should always reflect the author’s voice and style. We will uncover and refine each author’s important messages and bring them to life, much like a sculptor shaping a piece of clay and revealing the essence within it. “Joanne, the wordsmith’s gemologist, knows best how to polish the rough cut to bring out its innate brilliance ... something she seems to do so gently that we as writers barely sense the rubbing that makes our work better.” —Dwight Merriam, coauthor of Planning Reform in the New Century |
