Free-lance editorial services for publishers
Contracting with an experienced editor is a smart move in today's unpredictable economy. You receive high quality service for the duration of a project without taking on salaries, benefits and other long-term budgetary liabilities associated with full-time employees.
We have years of experience working with publishers—large and small, academic and general. Additionally, Deep River manages and publishes two book-length scholarly journals, Historical Geography and the Journal of the North Carolina Association of Historians. We know how to transform a manuscript into a published book.
