Seven Story Publishing

The manuscript is finished.

You’ve typed those two coveted words. . .THE END

But is it really?

Or. . .is it only the beginning?

For writers, the story doesn’t end when they type the final sentence or those two words, THE END. Next comes the celebratory drink, binge watching that show that just dropped a new season after two years or, depending on how stressful the writing was, just a drink to forget it all.

At least, that’s how it was back in the day. Nowadays, people are actually healthier when it comes to writing manuscripts. No more drinking themselves into a stupor to stay in the seat, doing drugs for a creative high or smoking Mary Jane until the room is nothing more than a burnt out volcano after the lava’s finished running into the river.

But that’s not what this post is about. . .or maybe it is.

Who knows?

Anyway, most authors today don’t have trouble being the writer. Being the writer is the fun part, the imaginative part. You get to journey to a different world and embody extraordinary characters and venture through epic endeavors. You get to experience the joy, pain, anger, trauma, resentment, and rage that writing a truly captivating story demands from writers.

That is, until you have to edit the damn thing. And most times, editing sucks the life out of that thing that, just a moment ago, filled you with all of the emotions you’d normally suppress because conversations in real life are difficult.

Editing forces you to come to a crushing reality: Your writing is not as good as you think it is and there are people who can make it better, but first they have to kill your darlings (and sometimes your spirit) while they do it.

That’s where we come in: Seven Story Publishing.

We understand how hard you worked, how much caffeine you consumed, how many leg cramps and late nights where your fingers almost fell off you’ve been through. We know what it took for you to create your darlings and that sometimes, as a writer, you don’t have it in you to kill your darlings.

Maybe you do, but you’re just too spent to do it because your darlings are legion.

Again, that’s where we come in. . .

So, go to our Editing Services page and fill out that little form we got (it lets us know what you need) so we can take the mental behemoth known as Editing off your plate.

Many writers go to through the fires of editing.

You don’t have to go through it alone.

Well, with Seven Story Publishing by your side you don’t have to go through it at all.

We’ll do it together.
