San Andreas, California – December 09, 2012 – One of the biggest challenges authors have to face when it comes to getting their books published is passing the editorial guidelines. Aspiring authors who are eager to get their book approved are often advised to set their manuscripts aside for at least two weeks to refresh their minds before attempting to edit it. According to experienced authors, this is a good strategy, allowing writers to look at their own book from a clear perspective. However, this takes time, and there is no guarantee that the author can detect all the errors he or she may have made in the course of writing their book.

Authors who try to proofread their own books after a few weeks can acquire a better viewpoint on their own work. However, even after editing their own work, it is still very much advisable to get someone else to edit the book, and this is where professional copy editing and proofreading services come into play.

Having a newly written book professionally copy edited and proofread before it is sent to a publisher gives it a higher probability of being accepted and approved. Often, new writers think that working with an agent will not only get their work published much faster, but also draw more attention to it. But the fact still remains, that if a book is not in its best condition from a grammatical point of view, it can still get rejected, even if it is being represented by an expert book agent

The biggest concern for new writers is that many professional proofreading services are expensive, and not many rookie writers can afford it. According to one survey, some writers opt to just buy a cheap self-help book on how to proofread their own work; but experience shows that it is not the best option to take if they want publishers to take their work seriously.

The good news is that Melissa Gray, a seasoned copy editor and proofreader, has opened her service to new, and even veteran writers, who need help in editing their books. She has recently offered her services at such extremely low rates that many of her clients are genuinely in awe of how she can offer such affordable rates while still delivering remarkable results. Check out what one of her clients, Zoe Saadia, author of popular books “At Road’s End” and “The Young Jaguar,” has to say:

“I had a wonderful experience with Melissa's proofreading services. She promised to return me my book in two weeks, but actually delivered the finished product in less than six days, keeping me updated on the process all the time. She caught an embarrassing amount of mistakes, typos and missing punctuation on the book that was edited and proofread before. I already sent her three more books, and I will definitely continue to use her professional services in the future.”

When asked why she offers her services at extremely low rates, Melissa Gray says that she does it because of her genuine love for books and her desire to help new authors polish their work and get it published. While Melissa’s rates are extremely low, you can expect nothing less but the best copy editing and proofreading service around, as you can see by her clients’ testimonials.

A career in writing is an exciting, yet challenging, one, and not everyone can make it. But for those who have real talent, who just need the ‘right break’ in getting their book the attention it deserves, a fantastic, and yet affordable, professional copy editing and proofreading service like what Melissa Gray is offering is precisely what they need.
