Since the 1980s, ILRGuild has contributed editorial support to a variety of businesses, private and nonprofit institutions, and even government agencies. We ultimately opened our doors to the general public in 1996, servicing principally literary agencies and independent writers. Today, we have served over 3,000 authors and 6,000 private and public companies.
With our stringent recruitment procedure, we are highly keen on employing top editors. Our editor network has worked with or is currently associated with mainstream publishers, literary agencies, and prominent colleges in the United Kingdom and Europe. We have the most comprehensive procedure for assessing, planning and implementing our projects. Our procedures may sound complex, but we are committed to offering a simple, trouble-free, and satisfying experience with the help of our tools and expertise.

In general, they are more concerned with the accuracy of the language than with the content of the story by checking the following elements: Grammar, spelling, capitalization, punctuation, word usage, and basic fact-checking.

The manuscript will be extensively reviewed by the Editor to ensure that your story has strong objectives for your characters, credible plot elements, intense suspense, and engaging themes. The developmental editor points out issues such as character development issues (boring, exaggerating, etc.) and plot (holes, inconsistencies, boring, cliche), etc. The nicest feature about this service, as opposed to others, is that it includes editorial fixes and suggestions.
