    <\/strong><\/p>\n

    Book Proposals \u2013<\/strong> A Book Proposal is designed to introduce and summarize a completed or in-progress manuscript to an agent or publisher. Some elements of a Proposal are standard, and some vary by according to the requirements of different publishers. Think of it as a resume for your book manuscript<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n
    Case\u00a0Studies\u00a0\u2013<\/strong> An extended testimonial that is structured like a news article, a Case Study answers the Why and How of the classic Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How questions. Why should a customer purchase what you offer? How have previous clients benefited from it? The before-and-after picture painted in a Case Study provides the answers.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n

  • \n
    Fundraising Letters\u00a0\u2013 <\/strong>Asking for money can be challenging and uncomfortable. A well-worded letter\u00a0that explains who you are, what you do, and why you are raising money can go a long way toward reaching potential donors. Think of it as\u00a0writing a\u00a0grant\u00a0application to individuals rather than to foundations.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    Ghost Writing\u00a0\u2013 <\/strong>Do you have a story to tell but you don\u2019t feel comfortable doing the actual writing? From celebrities to CEOs, many \u201cauthors\u201d hire ghost writers\u00a0as silent and invisible partners who\u00a0do the actual writing.\u00a0Your name is the only one on the finished product. Ghost writing can help you tell your story.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    Grant Writing\u00a0\u2013<\/strong>\u00a0Foundations, corporations, and governments of all sizes have\u00a0funds available.\u00a0For more than a decade, HarpWorks has been finding funding opportunities,\u00a0and writing and submitting applications on behalf of\u00a0nonprofits, businesses, and individuals.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    Letters,\u00a0Memos, Flyers\u00a0\u2013<\/strong>\u00a0Sometimes everyday communications are challenging.\u00a0HarpWorks\u00a0can help\u00a0you say what you want to say\u00a0and save your valuable time.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    Media\u00a0Kits\u00a0\u2013<\/strong>\u00a0Media Kits\u00a0are a means of providing news organizations\u2014print, television, radio, or digital\u2014with enough background information about a company or organization to write an article. Reporters and editors may use the\u00a0Media Kit\u00a0information\u00a0as is or may supplement\u00a0it\u00a0with additional interviews, research, and writing.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    News Releases\u00a0\u2013 <\/strong>Even in the\u00a0instant news cycles of the\u00a0digital age, News Releases remain the time-honored way of communicating news from a business or nonprofit to the media. News Releases answer the classic Who, What, When, Where, and Why questions in a standard format that editors can\u00a0use.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    \n

    Web Pages\u00a0\u2013<\/strong>\u00a0Staying\u00a0current can be a challenge in this fast-paced environment. Does your website need refreshing? HarpWorks can help you spruce up the\u00a0content, or\u00a0reword what you have so it sounds like new.<\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Editing<\/h2>\n

    From simple proofreading to polishing drafts and updating documents or websites, editing\u00a0is a process\u00a0that can\u00a0make any piece of writing\u00a0more readable and free\u00a0from errors. The better your writing, the easier your customers, clients,\u00a0or\u00a0colleagues\u00a0will understand what you want them to know.<\/p>\n

    Different levels of editing are appropriate to different sorts of content, based on the developmental stage of a\u00a0particular piece\u00a0of writing. What you need will depend on whether you are producing an advertisement, a news release, a book manuscript, an academic document, or something else. HarpWorks will help you to determine the sort of editing that best suits your project.<\/p>\n

    HarpWorks has edited or proofread academic and personal\u00a0essays,\u00a0biographical sketches, fiction,\u00a0and nonfiction.<\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n
      Proofreading:<\/strong>\u00a0Sometimes all that\u2019s needed is a basic read-through, to make sure the final version is error-free. This sort of editing requires an eye for detail, as well as a thorough knowledge of grammar, spelling, and punctuation rules.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n
      Line editing:<\/strong> This next level of editing includes grammar, spelling, and punctuation, as well as more substantial editing that may include language usage, sentence and paragraph structure, and any needed adherence to Associated Press, Chicago Manual of Style, or other stylistic rules.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n
      Content editing:<\/strong>\u00a0The most thorough type of editing may include complex changes in structure, readability, and tone, in order to help shape the final development of the project.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      In addition to the writing, grant writing, and publicity through HarpWorks, Stephanie has experience and training in editing a wide variety of content\u00a0as a journalist, creative writer, and historian. She will be happy to work with you on your written project so that it reads smoothly and well. Good writing is good for business, and for individuals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
