Our Services
Hallagen Ink is an editorial consulting firm. Our core service is to consult with writers to assist them in achieving their publishing goals. The list below outlines each of our services and provides a brief description. If you have special needs that you do not see listed here, and you are looking for resources, contact us. We may be able to help.
-
Copyediting—Every good writer needs an editor. Though we handle most genres, we specialize in non-fiction, business, self-help, and Christian/Religious material. Book Authors: Whether you are self-publishing, using an independent publisher, or going traditional, we can copyedit your manuscript to ensure that your work is prose perfect before submission. We can also review your query letters, book proposals, and sample chapters. Writers: Even when you have a keen eye, after reviewing your own work several times you tend to see what is supposed to be there, whether it is or not. Let us provide that second, objective look before you submit your work to clients or your editors.
-
Book Design—For publishers, corporations, and self-publishing authors. We can take your Microsoft Word manuscript and provide the interior book design, layout, and indexing. Your document will be returned to you ready for printing/publication. We will provide you with the print quality PDF with embedded fonts, as well as the final Word version of the document.
-
Research—We'll
help you to fill in any research gaps in your work. Best suited for
nonfiction books, academic projects, Web sites, and business plans/proposals.
All sources provided in bibliographic format.

Consulting—Let
us help to articulate your ideas when you don’t have the time or resources.

for your project. Projects might include nonfiction books and articles, press kits,
brochures, business proposals, newsletters, and internal corporate communication.
