Before releasing your words to the world, they should be reviewed by a professional editor. Proofreading & short, medium and long-form editing is our specialty.
Writing
Leave the writing to us! We know it can be challenging to come up with the right words, which is why you should let us handle that for you.

Additionally, Denice also designed the inside of my book, demonstrating her versatile talent and commitment to delivering a comprehensive solution for authors. Her professionalism and commitment to ensuring the highest quality result make her an outstanding choice for any author seeking editorial support.”

“Denice is the ultimate professional. Most of all she not only has the technical ability of a graphic designer, an exceptional writer, but also has excellent people skills. In a nutshell, she is a triple threat in a positive way. I relied on her expertise to customize training materials and diversity curriculum products for over 2,000 employees. She always provided me with the very best outcomes and I could ALWAYS rely on her to get the most difficult jobs done!”

“I recently hired Work In Progress Creations to edit and format my self-published book. It’s my first book and I didn’t have a vision for the layout. Denice did an excellent job throughout the process. She provided solid editorial recommendations without distorting the content of the text. I received a selection of options for the interior layout, and my customers often comment on the design. Most important, she was very patient with me during the process. I changed my mind about a few things while working on the project, which resulted in 5 drafts. I even changed the concept for my book cover. Denice produced a cover that I fell in love with. I absolutely recommended her services, and will definitely use her again.”
