About us
Deep River Editorial Services is located in High Point, North Carolina. We've been in High Point since 1989. The Deep River flowed through Central North Carolina for millennia, until surface reservoirs masked its path. Today it is memorialized in names: a road, a Quaker Meeting House, and businesses like Deep River Editorial Services.
Like the Deep River of old, our editorial services will take you where you need to go.
We are a small company: an owner, who also does all of the work described on this website, and several colleagues who work on assignments when workload or specialized expertise require it. We also collaborate with several graphic design companies for clients who require graphics as well as words. We provide full desktop publishing services for all types of publications.
Deep River values close communication with our clients. We prefer to take on a relatively small number of projects at any one time so that they that are done thoroughly and with the highest standards.
