Nonprofit Editing
Why Nonprofits Need Editing
Your mission drives you. Let us help communicate it to the world.
We offer specialized editing services for nonprofits and museums, philanthropies, and small organizations. Our clients typically need editing for their marketing content and press releases, blog posts and website content, exhibition catalogues and didactics, museum guides, and social media. These projects tend to have multiple parts (e.g., essays written by different authors) and longer timelines.
Flatpage provides high-quality editing with a fast turnaround and unlimited availability!
Our editors have specialized training and years of experience as manuscript editors. Many of our editors have also worked in nonprofits, museums, and businesses.

This service includes a call with our writer to discuss your needs, after which the writer will produce a draft based on your specs. Ghostwriting services include one round of revisions to the draft based on your comments.
We are also happy to discuss customized packages, for example a round of line editing plus a round of copyediting on the same text(s). Proofreading is charged separately.
