WHAT AN AUTHOR/SPEAKER HAS SAID ABOUT RAELENE’S SERVICES:
| “My promotional sheets had been scrutinized by several speakers, writers, and other “experts” in the business. It was not until Raelene Searle reworked my speaking materials did my true passion and purpose come through on those pages. My materials now have:~ Greater visual impact
~ An attention grabbing hook for each speaking topic ~ A “what’s in it for me” description of each presentation ~ A description of my speaking style that leaves event planners wanting to know more The number of engagements I have booked has more than tripled in the past six months. I owe a great deal of that to Raelene and her ability to take my materials to the next level of professionalism.” Kathi Lipp, Author and Speaker |

*This is for light to normal editing. Projects needing “heavy” editing will be billed an additional $3.50 per each page requiring the extra work.
**No proofreading will be done. Yes, I would likely catch mispellings, but since the editing focus is about content, proofreading is left to the typesetter when publishing.
***Note that materials are made professional but may have additional editing done by a publisher to fit their specifications for publishing. If you are self-publishing, manuscript will be made ready except for the specific formatting of the publisher and the proofreading as notd above.
