Online Book Services has established itself as an affordable and reliable editing service for both fiction and non-fiction manuscripts. By offering quality and on-time editing, we have built a reputation with both first-time authors wanting to self-publish their manuscript, and established authors looking to improve the quality of their work. We have done this by building a one-to-one relationship between the author and the editor and engaging the author throughout the process. We offer a no-strings, free sample edit for all new authors.

After following the advice of Mark Twain, by not letting my schooling interfere with my education, after leaving college I embarked on a career in the Civil Service working for the MoD. A discipline in accuracy in what I did was a good grounding for my future career editing manuscripts. Over twenty-five years in sales and marketing, selling to the security printing industry, and a further ten selling software testing services, honed my skills further. Accuracy and clarity is essential in both cases.

Frustration with having to read numerous novels with appalling errors in them inspired the setting up Online Book Services. The skills I developed in my previous occupations have proven invaluable, but editing requires one to develop additional traits. It's a fantastic learning opportunity. Any manuscript that comes before you has certain elements based on fact, whether it be a reference to a brand name, a piece of pop culture, a work of art, or a reference to another novel or a song. Researching such things has proven to be an education in itself. The fact I get to read great, riveting thrillers is clearly a major bonus to thoroughly enjoying what I'm now doing.
