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, 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.

Manuscript Editing Services

Line / Stylistic Editing

Line editing is used to address the style of your writing so that it has maximal impact. Our line editors are experts at the craft of writing and have published widely themselves. We can help you maintain a consistent tone, improve word choice, identify text to be cut/pruned or expanded upon, and write clear sentences in native English.

Copyediting

Copyediting involves a rinse of your manuscript, with attention to grammar, punctuation, and mechanics (i.e., conforming it to house style or manual like the Chicago Manual of Style). Whether you’re an ESL writer or just need your manuscript formatted, this service will ensure that you deliver a clean document to your respective publisher or editor.

Proofreading

Proofreading is the final stage in the publication process and is reserved for minor typos and consistency between manuscript sections on page proofs. By the time you are ready for a proofread, your manuscript should have already gone through a content (developmental) edit and a copyedit. This service will ensure that your manuscript is publication-ready.
