The Enago Solution
-
A special pricing
The author had a limited budget but wanted to get complete and substantive editing for his book. Looking at the sheer volume of the work, Enago offered the author a significant discount. The author was happy with the price and the work on the project started immediately. -
Search for the right editor
The author was worried if the editor working on his book would be able to validate his research, enhance his content and check for technical and language accuracy. To give the author an assurance, we offered him work samples of editors who are native English experts with a Ph.D. or Masters degree in Urban Studies. This helped the author select the perfect editor for his project. Enago then entrusted the task to the editor and asked him to devote his time to this single project to finish it within the stipulated time. -
Working in batches
The author wanted two chapters delivered within one week and the rest of the book within a month. Once the documents were sent to the editor, he immediately started working on the author’s project and delivered the first two chapters in 6 days. The author was happy with the editing and gave a go-ahead for the remaining book. Our editor started working on the project immediately to meet the deadlines and completed it in less than a month
Outcome
Enago’s team exceeded the author’s requirements by sharing an edited book manuscript with zero quality issues and on time delivery. The author, a first-time client of Enago was happy with the result and considers working with Enago on more such projects.
