Allan Edmands
The Wordsman Editorial Services
Since 1973, I have been a perfectionist, nitpicking editor of both fiction and nonfiction: substantive or developmental editing, copyediting, indexing, technical or scientific writing or editing, and––upon request––rewriting, ghostwriting, and website cleanup and maintenance. In my two logo phrases–“Your words sharpened, to the point” and “Your words, sharpened to the point”–though shifting the comma position alters meaning, each comma position in this case is applicable. Your manuscript remains yours; my polishing work simply ensures that its prose is professional, coherent, and compelling. A particular specialty: sharpening (and standardizing) the English of writers whose mother tongue is not English. For more information, please see my website and my résumé.
